    Workflow management of sprints and software tests: Coordination, consensus, and cooperation in the enterprise wiki of the German National Library of Science and Technology
    (New York, NY : International Institute for Science, Technology and Education, 2016) Strobel, Sven
    This paper discusses the workflow management of sprints and software tests at the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) and pays special attention to how the enterprise wiki can be used to support forms of group interaction such as coordination, consensus (finding), and cooperation. The enterprise wiki helps to organize who has to do what by when (coordination). At TIB, it essentially supports the project managers in planning, organizing, and controlling the workflows of the project. Moreover, it facilitates and accelerates the decision making within the team (consensus) and helps the team members to share knowledge and develop ideas by editing common documents (cooperation). The workflows for sprints and software tests as well as their management are illustrated by the example of the TIB project relaunching the TIB|AV-Portal. The paper argues that establishing workflows in the wiki makes collaborative working more efficient and easier to handle. This is shown with respect to the team’s coordination, consensus finding, and cooperation in the project. The paper also specifies the TIB concepts for sprints – a method to develop concepts collaboratively – and software tests. The topic discussed here relates to subject areas such as knowledge management and project management and, more specifically, to collaborative working and computer-supported cooperative work.

    Englischsprachige Erweiterung des TIB|AV-Portals: Ein GND-DBpedia-Mapping zur Gewinnung eines englischen Begriffssystems
    (München : VDB, 2014) Strobel, Sven
    Die Videos des TIB|AV-Portals werden mit insgesamt 63.356 GND-Sachbegriffen aus Naturwissenschaft und Technik automatisch verschlagwortet. Neben den deutschsprachigen Videos verfügt das TIB|AV-Portal auch über zahlreiche englischsprachige Videos. Die GND enthält zu den in der TIB|AV-Portal-Wissensbasis verwendeten Sachbegriffen nur sehr wenige englische Bezeichner. Es fehlt demnach ein englisches Indexierungsvokabular, mit dem die englischsprachigen Videos automatisch verschlagwortet werden können. Die Lösung dieses Problems sieht wie folgt aus: Die englischen Bezeichner sollen über ein Mapping der GND-Sachbegriffe auf andere Datensätze gewonnen werden, die eine englische Übersetzung der Begriffe enthalten. Die verwendeten Mappingstrategien nutzen die DBpedia, LCSH, MACS-Ergebnisse sowie den WTI-Thesaurus. Am Ende haben 35.025 GND-Sachbegriffe (mindestens) einen englischen Bezeichner ermittelt bekommen. Diese englischen Bezeichner können für die automatische Verschlagwortung der englischsprachigen Videos unmittelbar herangezogen werden. 11.694 GND-Sachbegriffe konnten zwar nicht ins Englische „übersetzt“, aber immerhin mit einem Oberbegriff assoziiert werden, der eine englische Übersetzung hat. Diese Assoziation dient der Erweiterung der Suchergebnisse.

    Developing the web portals of the German National Library of Science and Technology: Tools and workflows used
    (ISAST, 2016) Strobel, Sven
    Teams working on the development of software systems use certain tools and workflows of product and knowledge management. These tools and workflows help them plan, monitor and control the product at all stages of the product lifecycle as well as capture, develop and share project-related knowledge. This paper discusses the tools and workflows development teams of the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) use when developing the web portals. The use case illustrated here is a project, in which the interaction concept and screen design of the video portal of TIB (TIB|AV-Portal) had to be adapted to the new look and feel of the main portal (TIB-Portal). In the course of the project, the team gathered and structured preliminary requirements in the enterprise wiki, created an Axure user interface prototype, evaluated the prototype and specified the requirements using sprints from the Scrum framework, commissioned external screen designers and software developers to create a new screen design based on the prototype and implement the requirements, tested the implementations in a collaborative workflow and approved their deployment after debugging.
