Compendium

Description 

Taken from an article by Simon Buckingham-Shum on November 22nd, 2007 

Compendium was a software tool that was originally developed over a series of Research Projects that ran from 2002 until around 2007. It provides a flexible visual interface for managing the connections between information and ideas.

It placed few constraints on how users organized material, though many found that it supported structured working, such as following a methodology or modelling technique. Our particular interest was in visualizing the connections between people, ideas, and information at multiple levels, mapping discussions and debates, and identifying the skills needed to do so in a participatory manner that engaged all stakeholders.

Validated in both small and large-scale projects across diverse sectors in society, it was the result of over 15 years of research and development at the intersection of hypertext, collaborative modelling, organizational memory, computer-supported argumentation, and meeting facilitation.

Personal Use

Many people used Compendium to manage their personal digital information resources, as it allowed them to drag and drop any document, website, email, image, etc., organize them visually, and then connect ideas, arguments, and decisions to these. Compendium thus became the “glue” that allowed users to pool and make sense of disparate material that would otherwise have remained fragmented in different software applications. Users could assign their own keyword “tags” to these elements (icons), create custom palettes of icons with special meanings, overlay maps on background images, and place/edit a given icon in multiple locations simultaneously: things didn’t always fit neatly into just one box in real life.

Group Use

Extending Compendium’s support for personal sensemaking, we had a particular interest in what we termed “collective sensemaking” and developed a technique called Dialogue Mapping, along with its extension, Conversational Modelling. Our experiences with these techniques, for capturing and managing—often in real time and under pressure—the perspectives that emerged in meetings during open discussions or collaborative modelling, led us to claim that Compendium offered innovative strategies for addressing some of the key challenges in knowledge management and meaning-making:

  • Improving communication between disparate communities tackling ill-structured problems
  • Real-time capture and integration of hybrid material (both predictable/formal and unexpected/informal) into a reusable group memory
  • Transforming the resulting resource into the appropriate representational formats for different stakeholders

For a firsthand account of using Compendium for Dialogue Mapping, please refer to this blog.

The software 

Compendium

Compendium software was a Java-based desktop application developed by KMi and built on top of a piece of software called Mifflin, that was initially developed in Verizon research labs. It was designed to support the IBIS (Issue-Based Information System) methodology, among others. Mifflin was designed to be a next generation version of the QuestMap product.  QuestMap was the first commercially available software that supported the IBIS methodology.  

Being Java based, Compendium had installers available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Over time other branches of Compendium software came into being, as well as integrations into other tools. These are detailed further below. 

CompendiumDS (Design Studio) 

This version of Compendium was used on the award winning OU module Design thinking: creativity for the 21st century providing a radically stripped-down user interface for students to map design concepts in Compendium, and tutors to comment on them.

CompendiumLD

CompendiumLD was a software tool for designing learning activities using a flexible visual interface. It was developed as a tool to support lecturers, teachers and others involved in education to help them articulate their ideas and map out the design or learning sequence. Feedback from users suggests the process of visualising design makes their design ideas more explicit and highlights issues that they may not have noticed otherwise. It also provided a useful means of representing their designs so that they can be shared with others. CompendiumLD provided a set of icons to represent the components of learning activities; these icons could be dragged and dropped, then connected to form a map representing a learning activity. The icons for mapping argumentation provided by Compendium were also available and could be used within CompendiumLD maps to map issues with or discussions about particular learning activities.

CompendiumCN (CogNexus Institute)

This version of Compendium was optimized for very large data sets and collaborative mapping via locally networked users on an intranet. Developed to support CogNexus Group’s large client organizations for whom Compendium is a key tool.   

CompendiumNG

In 2009 the original Compendium Source Code was released as open source under the lesser GNU public license (LGPL) and in 2012 the Compendium community established CompendiumNG as an effort to maintain and further develop this great software. https://github.com/CompendiumNG/CompendiumNG 

Flashmeeting Integration

Compendium mapping was integrated into the Flashmeeting video conferencing tool (*** link to Flashmeeting research archive page ***), to allow conversations to be mapped during meetings in a shared interface.

Projects

Below is a list of research projects where Compendium was used and developed further, adding various specialisations and additional features, as required for each project. 

CoAkting

https://kmi.open.ac.uk/projects/name/coakting

For this project we integrated the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP, originally named Jabber) into Compendium. This allowed us to leverage their architecture to add real-time shared-view mapping into Compendium.

It was also under this project that we worked with Nasa Aims to use compendium on their Field Trials. See more detail in the Use Case section, under ‘Compendium and NASA’s Mobile Agents’ <create link to use case?> 

Memetic

https://kmi.open.ac.uk/projects/name/memetic

For this project we integrated Compendium into a video conferencing system.

Example Use Cases 

Collaboratively Modeling Mission Control at NASA

 By Maarten Sierhuis written on  11.03.06

Screenshot explaining work processes for Space Shuttle and International Space Station (ISS) mission control

A group from the NASA Ames Research Center held a workshop for collaboratively modeling the work processes for Space Shuttle and International Space Station (ISS) mission control. 

The Work Systems Design & Evaluation group at NASA Ames Research Center was engaged in modeling and simulating mission operations at NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas. The overall objective of the Mission Operations Design and Analysis Toolkit (MODAT) project is to show how detailed mission operations modeling and simulation could be used in the analysis and design of new mission operations at JSC. The hypothesis was that our Work Systems Design & Evaluation approach, using workplace observation and collaborative modeling and simulation of current and future work processes, wold bring more rigorous model-based work systems engineering to the design of mission operations at NASA. 

This work was funded by Johnson Space Center Directed Discretionary Funds (CDDF).

Compendium in Civil Engineering 

Image of Structure of Compendium in Civil Engineering 

The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry presented a unique combination of challenges. Building materials and energy expenditures account for substantial proportions of UK consumption but the means to improve on these are inhibited by poorly integrated decision-making across the building lifecycle. 

Compendium was used in a pilot study of civil engineering information management to determine its compatibility with existing practices and to develop use scenarios for future work. Data was collected through adaptation of existing documents into map-based formats, examination of information repositories and interviews with engineers exposed to the mapping methods on a live project [1].

Compendium and NASA’s Mobile Agents 

Image of Compendium and NASA's Mobile Agents  

Use of Compendium with NASA’s Mobile Agents project, simulating human+robotic surface exploration of Mars. Compendium was integrated with other systems enabling them to read and write maps directly to Compendium. Compendium was used as the user interface for specifying the exploration route (formal maps interpreted by software agents), linking and displaying the multimedia science data gathered, and for discussing the data by scientists on Mars (face-to-face) and Earth (in internet meetings). Earth-bound scientists used a ‘Mars-meeting replay tool’ which turned the Compendium map into an index hyperlinked into a video of the meeting, enabling them to jump to the point where a given node was created.  

Compendium and Conflict Resolution

ViewCraft developed a methodology called Conflict Cartography designed to support the resolution of conflict in organizations and communities. They successfully applied this approach in complex natural resource, environment, labor and agriculture conflicts. Compendium was used in concert with other methods and tools to: design and conduct conflict assessments, organize and analyze disparate information, share stories and perspectives, and help parties achieve resolution and agreement.  

Compendium for Literature Analysis

Compendium for Business Process Analysis

Compendium for Business Process Analysis
Image of Ron Wheeler's window explaining Process Modelling

Compendium was used as a Business or Computer System modeling package. In order to support a computer system modeling requirement, A set of stencils was created in Compendium that made it easy to capture and share process and database models. The stencil images were easy to create by using OpenOffice’s drawing package. It included flowchart symbols and arrows that are suitable for modeling.  

Your own custom graphics could be mixed in with other stencils or the basic nodes that are part of the Compendium package (plus, minus, lightbulbs, web references, etc) so that you could enrich a process model with links to websites or reference documents.
