“…Architectures should allow flexibly adding or modifying the represented dimensions of context (e.g. Trigg et al 1999;Dourish 2000, Simone andSarini 2001). However, it is not only a question of being able to define attributes flexibly.…”

“…Rather, we supported different interpretations and multiple perspectives. For instance, 'Context Grabber' allows users to apply their own classification schemes because such flexibility can support human actors in structuring large collection of artifacts (Simone and Sarini 2001). As a contrast it is interesting to note the differences in the production of artifacts in the day-to-day work of the organizations; not just in terms of number but also in terms of medium.…”

We synthesize findings from longitudinal case studies examining work practices in three different organizations and propose analytical and methodological frameworks to guide the design and implementation of technologies for expertise and knowledge management. We appropriate the concept of ecosystem to argue that we can create active and useful solutions for knowledge management through a focus on interaction between two mutually intertwined elements of an ecosystem-artifacts and actors. We show that in expertise and knowledge sharing systems domain knowledge and technological knowledge are complementary and we present evidence that small solutions can have far reaching effects. Finally, we make a case for full integration of IT developers as an element of expertise sharing ecosystem.

“…The other layers represent logical representations of possible contents of the local space; one of them is about the topics related to the contents of pages of the local space (e.g. User Interfaces, Cognitive Psychology), while the other is a classification scheme [38] of the types of events (e.g. courses, seminars, deadlines for bureaucracy) that are meaningful for the target community.…”

The web technology is increasingly used by communities of various kinds to support their memory and the interactions among their members. In these cases the WWW can be viewed as a web of local spaces (Web in the small), each characterized by local structure and semantics. The local space can be used to provide the community members with adaptive functionalities to enhance their navigations and to promote new forms of interaction among them. The realization and management of these functionalities are sustainable since they do not require more knowledge and effort than the ones the community generates and spends to survive. The paper presents a technology, the LAW system, which is a step towards a view of the Web in the small and complements more traditional technologies supporting the current acceptation of the World Wide Web (Web in the large). The LAW system is informed by an agent based model where space and its topology are first class concepts.

“…A thoughtful exposition of the issues is offered by Simone and Sarini (2001) in a discussion of the adaptability of classification schemes in cooperative work. They evaluate a number of systems specifically designed as boundary objects and conclude that flexible formalisms (a desideratum in the work of Bowker and Star) can be derived, but that these will operate at a high level of abstraction, thus offering partial solutions to the problems of shared systems.…”
