General
steps on how CALL would be able to use InfoLink
|
Advantages |
| 1 |
CALL
personnel add a new topic to InfoLink, and cross-list it
in multiple taxonomies so that it can be referenced several
different ways. InfoLink includes well-understood topics
as well as topics that require additional detailed information. |
Prevent
unnecessary information-gathering effort and duplications |
| 2 |
CALL
observers have access to a store of information to reference
while gathering information on other topics. They can download
the content they are working with so that it can be manipulated
offline in their own portable self-contained XML framework. |
Self
contained system to ensure portability |
| 3 |
CALL
observers enter information into the system in the form of
notes, documents, video, audio, or any other electronic format.
This data is either immediately uploaded or saved until they
are able to check-in. InfoLink then parses and integrates
the information back into the system. |
Able
to store Tacit / implicit information along with explicit
information |
| 4 |
Analysts
use the information to create products such as manuals, training
material, as well as up-to-date mission critical information.
InfoLink provides tools to allow the analysts to collaborate
on the information in the system, and also allows them to
group topics together to generate independent XML-based documents. |
Easily
create multiple products from existing individual XML topics |
| 5 |
InfoLink
then provides tools to update existing products so that they
are constantly growing and being refined. |
Highly
scalable |
