Goal "The need to know how to start"

When promoting SMW for organizational knowledge management, a customer's power user needs a guide on how to start.

Reasoning "Facet-Driven Inside-Out-Bottom-Up"

• Organizational knowledge management with SMW is about structured information.
• So, how to start to structure information? Work inside-out-bottom-up along the principles, concepts and modalities conveyed by the dataspects Knowledge Management Framework.

Effective attitudes

Learning bite: Your attitudes are equally important as your skills are. Start simple. Be clear. Name well.

This is a screenshot taken from the video "Agile is Dead" by Dave Thomas.

Example domain

Document SMWCon Fall 2017 so that its information can be efficiently consumed by purposeful aspects, e.g.

Learning bite:

A documentation is not a document, but it can be.

• Who was there in what role?
• Who presented what?
• Which community to do items were identified?
• …

Start with an instance!

Learning bite:

Be object oriented before being class oriented.

What is there?

Participants!

# smw.com/wiki/new_page
 Fletcher

What is "Fletcher"?

It's a surname!

Surname=Fletcher

A surname of what?

Of a person!

# smw.com/wiki/new_page
{{Person
  |Surname=Fletcher
}}

What's the relationship between "surname" and "person"?

It's "Has"!

# smw.com/wiki/new_page
{{Person
  |HasSurname=Fletcher
}}

What else is there?

Promoting SMW to Anglo-Saxon politicians

What is this?

It's a talk!

# smw.com/wiki/new_page
{{Person
  |HasSurname=Fletcher
}}

{{Talk
  |Promoting SMW to Anglo-Saxon politicians
}}

What aspect of a talk is "Promoting SMW to Anglo-Saxon politicians"?

It's the talk's working title! The final title is still pending.

# smw.com/wiki/new_page
{{Person
  |HasSurname=Fletcher
}}

{{Talk
  |HasWorkingTitle=Promoting SMW to Anglo-Saxon politicians
  |HasFinalTitle=_pending
}}

Are persons and talks related?

Yes! A talk is delivered by a person!

That's terminological talk. Please provide an assertion example!

# smw.com/wiki/new_page
{{Person
  |HasSurname=Fletcher
}}

{{Talk
  |HasWorkingTitle=Promoting SMW to Anglo-Saxon politicians
  |HasFinalTitle=_pending
  |IsDeliveredBy=Fletcher
}}

Do we spot that a "a person can have multiple talks but one talk is typically delivered by one person"?

Premature optimization is the root of all evil!

Yes!

Then let smw.com/wiki/fletcher be a "person page"! (http://everypageispageone.com/the-book)

# smw.com/wiki/new_page
{{Person # This template is now understood as declaring this page as being of type "Person"!
  |HasSurname=Fletcher
}}

{{Talk
  |HasWorkingTitle=Promoting SMW to Anglo-Saxon politicians
  |HasFinalTitle=_pending
  |IsDeliveredBy={{PAGENAME}}
}}

Now is the time to move from object orientation to class orientation!

smw.com/wiki/Template:Person

 {{#set:HasType=Person}}
 {{#set:HasSurname={{{HasSurname}}}}}
 {{DISPLAYTITLE:Person "{{{HasSurname}}}"}}{{#default_form:Person}} # <-- This implements type-hinting!

smw.com/wiki/Template:Talk

 {{#set:HasType=Talk}}
 {{#set:HasWorkingTitle={{{HasWorkingTitle}}}}}
 {{#set:IsDeliveredBy={{{IsDeliveredBy}}}}}
 {{DISPLAYTITLE:Talk "{{{HasWorkingTitle}}}"}}{{#default_form:Talk}}

Concept "DSKMF Annotations"

Now is the time to create the first facets! (Type instances lists are trivial.)

Create your first 2 ask queries:

• talks by person
• person by talk

Switch gears to "facet-driven business domain modeling in SMW"!
