Title A Transformational Model for Organizational Memory Systems Management with Privacy Concerns
Authors Sergio Ochoa, Valeria Herskovic, Edgard Pineda, José A. Pino
Publication date July 2009
Abstract Collaborative activities such as coordination, decision making and
negotiation critically depend on historical information of an organization.
This information is usually part of isolated legacy information systems,
therefore it can be inconsistent, redundant and difficult to retrieve and
link. Previous research in CSCW has proposed the use of Organizational
Memory Systems (OMS) to accumulate, organize, preserve, link and share
diverse information coming from various sources, and thus support such
collaborative activities. However, there is a need to provide a low cost
feeding process, to embed privacy mechanisms and to support information
retrieval capabilities for all users of the OMS, in order to make these
solutions useful to a broad range of organizations. As a way to deal with
this need, this paper presents a transformational model able to: (a)
facilitate the feeding of an OMS based on information stored in legacy
information systems, (b) ease the information retrieval process, and (c)
embed automatic mechanisms to evolve the information stored in the OMS,
through a document privacy lifecycle. This is a low-cost solution that can
be implemented using OpenSource technologies.
