> CHI 2001 Informal SIG: Building an Online Community to Enhance a Digital
> Library for Cognitive Task Analysis
>
SIG will take place on Wednesday, 4/4 - see message board for time and
location
> Organizers:
> Diane Miller, Aptima
> Lisa Neal, EDS
>
> The purpose of this SIG is to examine the role of online community as part
> of a web site. In particular, we are interested in how discussion forums
> and scheduled online presentations can help bring people together as peers
> or mentors so that otherwise passive and solitary activities - such as use
> of a digital library - become collaborative ones.
>
> The questions we would like to raise to start a discussion are:
>
> * How can a site attract and reward contributors, moderators,
> reviewers, and presenters?
> * What behavioral protocols and quality measures should be specified
> and adhered to in order to maintain professional behavior without overly
> constraining contributors?
> * How do we ensure that the site remains - and appears - active, with
> frequent interactions and updates to resources?
> * How much and what types of site management are required to support
> this notion of site quality?
> * What differences exist for different types of sites, such as
> commercial vs. academic?
