From genres to content analysis : experiences from four case organizations
Anne Honkaranta tutkii väitöskirjatyössään, voiko organisaatiokommunikaation tutkimuksessa käytettyä genre-teoriaa käyttää apuna erilaisten dokumenttien ja Internet-sisältöjen sisällön analysointiin organisaatioissa, ja millä tavoin teoriaa voi hyödyntää. Honkaranta kokeili genre-teorian soveltamista, menetelmiä, ja tekniikoita tapaustutkimuksissa neljässä eri organisaatiossa. Lisäksi hän keräsi tietoa sisällön hallinnan kehittämistarpeista.Honkaranta havaitsi tapaustutkimuksissa, että sisältöanalyysia tekevä analyytikko voi hyödyntää onnistuneesti sisällön analyysivaiheessa genre-teoriaa, sekä väitöskirjatyössä kehitettyjä genre-pohjaisia menetelmiä. Genre-teoriasta johdetut periaatteet tu…
User Psychology in Interaction Design: The Role of Design Ontologies
In the various forms of interaction design, it is essential to analyze, understand, and predict human behavior. This is equally true with devices such as information systems that are meant to interact with people. The importance of these problems has inspired scientists to develop numerous approaches to investigate and explicate human actions. However, they have mainly been characterized by intuitive and folk psychological approaches to the human mentality in interaction. To improve the scientific foundations of design, we present here a psychology-based approach to collecting user knowledge, as well as a related design practice. The former can be called user psychology and the latter the a…
Managing Converging Content in Organizations
Content management is essential for organizational work. It has been defined as “a variety of tools and methods that are used together to collect, process, and deliver content of diverse types” (McIntosh, 2000, p. 1). Content management originates from document management. In fact, a great deal of contemporary content management system functionality has evolved from document management systems. Documents are identifiable units of content, flexibly structured for human comprehension (Murphy, 2001; Salminen, 2003). They have traditionally been considered as containers for organizational content. Document management considers the creation, manipulation, use, publishing, archiving, and disposal…
Content Management in Organizations
Content management may be characterized as “a variety of tools and methods that are used together to collect, process, and deliver content of diverse types” (McIntosh, 2000, p. 1). At least three differing approaches on content management may be identified: 1) Web content management, 2) Document management, and 3) Utilization of structured documents.
Challenges in the Redesign of Content Management
The Finnish Centre for Pensions (FCP) is a government organization acting as the central body for private pension institutions in Finland. One of its central tasks is to produce and publish guideline documents for ensuring that the pension institutions carry out pension provisioning in a unified way. Due to problems in the maintenance of the documents and requests for faster information delivery by the Internet, FCP carried out a content management development initiative during 2002-2004. The case follows the changes in components of the content management environment: in the activities of work processes, actor roles, systems, and content items. The case shows that in content management red…
Towards Practical Cybersecurity Mapping of STRIDE and CWE — a Multi-perspective Approach
Software vulnerabilities are identified during their whole life-cycle; some vulnerabilities may be caused by flaws on the design while other appear due to advances on the technologies around the systems. Frameworks such as OWASP are well- known and are used for testing a systems security before or after implementation, and such testing is carried out against the existing system. Threat modeling however focuses on the early stages of the system design when it is feasible and easy to fix security-related flaws and prevent possible damage caused by them. For example, STRIDE is one very popular threat modeling framework. A STRIDE threat modelling specialist deals with abstract categorizations o…
Two Methods for Schema Design for Intelligent XML Documents in Organizations
XML markup language provides means for incorporating semantics, i.e. “meaning” of logical content parts residing within documents. Therefore it has become the lingua franca for Semantic Web, e-Business applications and for enterprise application integration. In order to realize novel, intelligent XML-based document applications in organizations, schemas defining the domain-oriented semantics are needed. So far, the potential of XML has not bee fully utilized in organizational documents, due to the lack of XML support in common and inexpensive office software. Due to the arrival of XML support on common software such as Microsoft Office 2007 and Open Office 2.0 organizations need knowledge a…
