Yet media companies remain curiously fragmented in their own
information space.
So as I often ask in these columns: What would I do?
First of all, I would gather together all the people in the
company who collect and analyze information for a one-day
"knowledge-fest."
Some will be in editorial, some in advertising, some in
circulation, some in "research" some in digital, and ... well
anyone else who wants to turn up. They'll then share what they
collect, and its relative benefit to everyone else.
Secondly, I would create a "knowledge hub" - an intelligence
center - charged with integrating and redistributing the content
from all the different sources, across the entire organization.
Gary Colet on 16 Aug 10National Archives instructions for transferring data, information and knowledge resulting from 'Machinery of Government' changes. Updated this year, the document unfortunately makes no mention of how Linked Data might help in the complex business of moving ownership of information. There is reference to XML schema guidance from 2008 from the National Archives http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/electronicrecords/advice/default.htm Whilst it implies that tacit knowledge transfer is important, there is no guidance or tools for this and relies on codification rather than knowledge sharing.
