- MoReq2010 Progress -- Just in time for its meeting in Brussels starting tomorrow, the DLM Forum published yesterday (Sunday 14 November 2010) a newsletter about MoReq2010. It explains that the MoReq2010 consultation draft will be published on 16 November (or maybe 18 November, depending on which page you read); and that an online seminar has just been launched (or will be launched in Brussels, depending on which page you read; it has in fact been available on the ARMA website for a couple of weeks).
- RIM to drive up the value of Time Capsules? -- Earlier this week I attended the 55 th Annual ARMA Conference and Expo, and as always happens, I find myself inspired by what I saw, heard and learned. Interestingly however, and perhaps due to my earlier post about my anthropological academic background, I found my mind wandering a bit … and perhaps a bit subversively. Let me explain. For as much as good RIM is about retaining information to meet compliance obligations, to facilitate productivity and to generate competitive advantage, it’s also…
- Handling Language Dependencies in eDiscovery, Records Management when using Content Analytics -- Foreign language texts contain a lot of hidden information, making multilingual information extraction tools – and applications that allow cross-lingual information access – particularly useful. Only a few system developers offer their products for more than two or three languages. Typically, they develop the tools for one language and then adapt them to the others. Especially in the fields of eDiscovery and (international) records, information or knowledge management this can lead to translation…
- The Strategy IS the Work -- Two days into an AIIM ECM Master Class I was teaching, a student raised his hand and asked, “This is all really good, but when do we start doing the work?” At that point, he and his mates had learned a lot about effective strategies for taxonomy, metadata, search, policy, and technology, and they were itching to get their hands dirty already. As heads nodded around the room, I thought for a moment and replied: “You’re right; there has been a lot of theory and discussion so far. But believe it or…
- Why is Search so Difficult for Enterprises? -- Again and again, clients engage us to help them develop a strategy for their enterprise search requirements. When we sit down to talk with their users – people who regularly run Google and Bing searches out on the web – the question never fails to come up: What makes enterprise search so difficult, when it’s so simple on the public Internet? After all, we’re talking about searching the information assets of just a single organization! So why is search so difficult for corporate entities?
- Anthropology, Libraries, Records Management and Me -- I have a degree in Anthropology, and I can honestly say that I had blast earning it. So why is it that someone who so whole-heartedly enjoyed studying cultures like the Sherpa or reading books like The Bones in the Basement wound up blogging on the AIIM ERM Community and spending her days as a RIM Director for a law firm? Well, honestly, that’s what paid the bills while I daydreamed about exotic places and fascinating people in class. But my degree has helped me immensely in my career … which…
