Outline

• What is the professional standard?• Create professional standards today: who and

how• Our solution– Implementing the structure of standard in SMW– Tools for proposing and evaluating versions of

standard parts– Generating the final document

• Pilot

How we structure all that

• Standard consists of many working functions• Working function consists of: – Responsibility of the worker: type of task to perform– Skills that the worker need to perform the task– Knowledge needed for the task– Professional qualities needed for the task

• Working functions are grouped by:– Categories– Qualification levels

Working on the standard: actors

• Fathers of the standard– Small group– Describes the levels, categories– Make decisions about which working functions

will be included to the standard• Industry representatives• Moderators/Facilitators

Working on the standard: process

Describing levels

Describing categories

Creating working

functions

Voting for working

functions

Syncronizing the levels

Proposing the new

version of the standard

Voting

• People can vote for or against the working functions

• For now – only the simplest algorithm for average vote

• Super users can freeze the voting or fix any result

• All the results are semantified

Why not prefer The Wiki Way?

• People are hesitant to make changes in each other’s content

• Edit wars are hard to understand• Most of the edits change the meaning of the

content• People are busy and prefer voting to writing

44

Evaluting the articles

• Participant can evaluate the working functions by several criteria

• First we’ve used ArticleFeedback extension• Now we’re using our own extension:– Any number of evaluation criteria– Different criteria for different categories– Various widgets for submitting the evaluation

Export to MS Word

• Component for export the standard to Word– To show the results to the government

• Extensively uses SMW queries in the code• Generating MS Word is still a horrible task– Hack: create your document template in MS

Word, convert it to html, fill it and rename it to doc

Results and perspectives

• Pilot: standard for the manager is partly accepted by the government

• SMW was good for quickly prototyping the system

• We’ll continue to use SMW as the platform for designing the standards: – Creating reusable libraby of skills and

responcibilities– Define relationships between standards

Some other stuff we have

• More projects on strategic foresight and future studies

• Storytelling in wiki!• Some new result formats:– Chap-timeline– Xtags

• More of Semantic Glossary• New input tools:– Hierarchies– Preview input
