Information annealing
=====================
Information annealing is putting a hypertext system on a
LAN, then using suggestions from each user to modify the
system until each user can instantly find and understand
anything they want. The central principles of information
annealing are:
(1) Create an initial representation of knowledge
(2) Use a answering machine to collect suggested improvements
(3) Make the changes daily to improve the system
(4) Stop when all easily find/understand the contained knowledge
Annealing benefits:
- classification system provides better/faster access
- text descriptions become more easily understood
- users acquire a broader map of relationships
- knowledge becomes a capital asset instead of a salary expense
- peer-review annealing reduces mis-information liabilities
- annealed knowledge flattens organizational structures
Opportunity: Information value is increased by group organizing efforts
