In a comment to Ramana Rao's post on REAP (Retrieve, Extract, Arrange, Present), Mark Stefik asks:
is there a design for a good-enough sensemaking system for broad use?
I think a good sensemaking system will let me create a website like the Macintosh history site Folklore.org, a community-based, cross-linked, and metadata-rich collection of objects and views.
What's the architecture of Folklore.org:
- Custom information objects: page (with links to author, characters, topics, comments, ...), topic, author, character, comment
- Different views on objects (small, medium, large)
- Sortable and filterable collection views (sort pages by rating, date, title...)
- Stored queries (recently added, overall favorites)
- User accounts
- Overall layout that provides shortcuts (all topics, all authors, all characters, weblog)
I offer free drinks to the first to create a sensemaking system that lets me put together the raw structure of such a website in a couple of minutes. Without custom coding.
Plug: my work on the Buckybase document database and beyond is aimed squarely at this task.
In all large businesses, and people began to look like before you like a thousand police, as the time
