Will the 2.0 revolution trash can your file plan?
Co-Presented by Katrina Hinton and David Eade
Web 2.0 has been proclaimed a business revolution where the Internet is now the mainstream business platform, accompanied by a new set of rules if you want to stay the distance. But at its heart is content, “data as the Intel inside” and whilst it harnesses collective intelligence where does this leave us in our role of harnessing the output?
File Plan’s have been our traditional tool for making sense of anarchy. Controlled vocabularies seek to control the way we think, store and retrieve. They are the backbone of our content management and EDRMS systems.
So what part do they play now? Do we embrace folksonomies, trust our users to manage their own content and trash can our file plans? What then of our ‘duty of care’ to manage the record and retention associated with classification?
Our presentation pits the opposing forces of the Web 2.0 anarchy and controlled rational classification systems and reveals whether each can learn something from the others set of tools.
