Intranets are almost as old as the concept of a web site. More than twenty-five years ago the text Business Data Communications closed with a discussion of intranets (Stallings, 1990). Underlying technology improvements in intranets have been incremental; intranets were never seen as killer developments. Yet the popularity of Online Social Networks (OSNs) has led to increased interest in the part OSNs play – or could play – in using intranets to foster knowledge management. This chapter reviews research into how social graphs for an enterprise, team or other collaboration group interacts with the ways intranets have been used to display, collect, curate and disseminate information over the knowledge life cycle. Future roles that OSN-aware intranets could play in emerging technologies, such as process mining, elicitation methods, domain-specific intelligent agents, big data, and just-in-time learning are examined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
