General comments?    (6684)

Framework/methodology not precise, clear, easily applicable    (6688)

References: phmartin@gu.edu.au (Jun 19, 2002)

Don't know of any that are    (6693)

Other frameworks not cited    (6704)

Why?    (7380)

Most methodologies focus on lowest levels    (7386)

E.g. information system, usage context.

Pragmatic methodologies at higher level hardly exist    (7392)

Sentence on linking system processes    (6739)

"The more system processes are linked, the higher the level of integration. In some cases, a high level of integration may be desirable, whereas in other cases, having loosely coupled processes may be more useful."

What does last part of second sentence mean?    (6747)

Links increase complexity, which is not always desirable    (7444)

Concept of "link" needs to be worked out    (7455)

Typology of links useful for collaboratory evolution modeling?    (7473)

Suggests primary importance of human processes, secondary importance of automatic tools    (7941)

How does knowledge emerge?    (7980)

How can knowledge be ordered?    (7988)

Stepwise approach    (8000)

Paradigm change    (8012)

Cannot be done; requires human negotiation    (8023)
