Profile Information

About me:: My passion is to facilitate the creation of intuitive, powerful software tools that enable stakeholders to engage in meaningful dialogue and debate around wicked problems, whether face-to-face or asynchronously over the Net.

This requires not only computing infrastructure and high quality user interfaces, but new literacies for reading and writing networks of ideas, moving us out of the print era into network-native practices for sensemaking in fields such as science, policy, emergency response, and international development.

I have used tools such as Compendium to capture multi-stakeholder discussions with organisations including the UN International Labour Organisation (HIV/AIDS in the Workplace Programme), NASA (Mobile Agents Mars fieldtrials), World Vision (LEAP Programme), DARPA (Personnel Recovery Operations), and many computing research consortia/meetings.

My background is in ergonomics, human-centred computing, the capture of design rationale, and argument mapping.

Compendium concept demo: emergency response

The EPSRC-funded Advanced Knowledge Technologies Consortium ran 2000-06. The final demonstrator of all the technologies coming together centred on an emergency response scenario. Compendium served as the sensemaking hub around an aircraft crash on London, envisioning how a response coordination team might use Compendium overlaid on a GIS, to keep track of events and actions, in concert with a diverse set of AKT semantic web services.

I’ve just got… Continue

Mozilla extension adds web annotation to Cohere

Some of you may be interested to play with the new release of our Mozilla extension for Cohere, which adds highlighting and annotation to Firefox/Flock, but with the addition of more reflective, sensemaking elements:

* Clips are highlighted text fragments (and in future video hopefully) to provide more precise link anchors and to direct visual attention

* margin notes are in fact what we call Ideas, first… Continue
