I will be presenting on the Knowledge Hub at the forthcoming International Society for Knowledge Organisation (ISKO-UK) event on 14th September 2010.

The The Knowledge Hub is essentially the next generation development of the highly successful local government CoP platform (a previous project of mine).  It will replace the existing infrastructure with new open technology facilitating integration with mainstream social media applications (for example Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIN) and the rapid assimilation of new applications and web services as they emerge.  This will enable, for example, much better personalisation and permeability of content.  In addition Knowledge Hub will provide facilities that allow data on performance to be combined and shared (so called “linked-data”) potentially providing the framework to deliver the wider move to transparent government.

I have previously posted information about the Knowledge Hub at my Communities and Collaboration blog.
