Arno... I have just completed an Open Space with a conference of land use planners in Denver, USA. We captured the results on a wiki and there was much discussion about some semantic analysis of keywords and themes. The tech team from the sponsor organization were curious about finding and implementing some tools to do this in order to draw at least some small semantic connection between discussions.
You can see the wiki here: http://www.placematters.org/wiki and you can also see that they want to draw some themes out of these reports. Ken Snyder is the lead on the tech team and he might have more thoughts about how they are thinking of doing it. Contact him at k...@placematters.com Cheers, Chris On 10/22/06, Arno Baltin <a...@tlu.ee> wrote:
Hi, I have been connected to OS for couple of years. I have some experience working with organizations and teaching at university. As time scedule at University is quite tight, short OS (45 min discussion turns) are part of my experience. Right now I am interested in potential of content analytic tools for getting additional value out of texts produced at OS. There have been several cases, when this idea came to me. The concrete topic I am working on is a soft side know-how. The basic idea is that a lot of it is unevenly distributed in an organization. One way of gathering it together (and then distribute evenly) is through OS (the question could be - how to do "it" in a more efficient way). By OS lot of text is produced. The value of some of it (clear proposals) is very clear at the first glance. And I believe there is much more in. So how to get closer to the "hidden". I guess someone has already thought of this and probably done something as well. I would appreciate any hints. with best regards, Arno Baltin Tallinn University Estonia * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
