I recently took class about building application profiles using metadata schemas. This involves taking one or more metadata schemas (abstract rather than in XML format) and implementing an XML schema to accurately describe the information used in an application. For my final project, I wrote an application profile for the EBSCOhost Business Source Complete academic database. The profile is a very simplified way describing the databases collection of document. The purpose is to build a schema that captures the data necessary for classifying and searching the documents as well as the data for maintaining the physical files that represent the documents.
I recently wrote a paper describing the ways in which the rise of social software tools such as blogs, tagging, and social networks are changing the approaches that firms are taking in knowledge management. The paper provides a general overview of the topic and examins some of the work IBM has done in the field.
For my IMT 580 class research project, my teammate, Helen Kresl, and I researched the organizaitonal information flows of the American healthcare industry. You can download the paper here:
