... just to collect some notes after the MPDL plenum
WebBlog versus Wiki[edit]
Web blogs....
- support one-way communication of fixed information packages. After posting, a blog article shouldn't be changed any further.
- often allow commenting of postings.[1]
- are sorted by date (last comes first) and often allow commenting of postings
- are comparable to mailing lists and news groups
Wikis...
- support collaborative creating and editing of information. After its first creation, a wiki article is expected to be edited mercilessly by a group of persons
- are organized in a structured way (see CoLab ;)
- are comparable to web sites and word documents in "change mode"
Blogs and Wikis
Possible addressees[edit]
- MPDL internal -> not required? use mpdl-internal mailinglist instead. The archive is available via....
- MPG internal -> not required? use mpg-internal mailing lists like minerva-liest or mpg-info?
- World Wide Distribution -> to announce official MPDL news or individual viewpoints of team members
Many examples...[edit]
are out there everywhere, e.g.
- BioMed Central established a blog for posting announcements, see http://blogs.openaccesscentral.com/blogs/bmcblog/
- DabbleDB Project blog, see http://blog.dabbledb.com/ for a typical blog accompanying an evolving web application.
- Living Reviews project blogs, see http://blog.livingreviews.org/ for an example of a seemingly external blog hosted on the MPDL blog server; this example highlights another functionality of blogs: they can be used to syndicate content. The overview over the latest Living Reviews publications is generated from the rss feed of the journal's blogs on the fly.
- OCLC collected a list of individual blogs from selected team members, see http://www.oclc.org/community/talk/blogs/default.htm. They evn call them the "OCLC's official blogs" ;)
In September 2007, Cornelius Puschmann visited us to talk about "institutional blogging"[2]
