MIKE2:Collaboration Environment

From MIKE2.0 Methodology

MIKE2.0 is hosted within a comprehensive collaboration environment that allow users to engage in knowledge sharing, content development and skills improvement. The capabilities provided by omCollab include:

• A Wiki to collaboratively create and share content (based on MediaWiki which powers Wikipedia, the world's largest Wiki).

• Blogs to publish individual or group-based information (based on Wordpress, the world's most popular blogging platform).

• Social Bookmarking for storing, sharing and discovering web bookmarks. We have released this as omBookmarks, a fork of the codebase from Scuttle.

• Social Networking – "facebook light" functionality for our IM community that is integrated into the other components.

• Forums to support discussion groups and frequently asked questions (based on phpBB, the most widely used open source forums solution)

• Mashup from MIKE2.0, to build integrated solutions based on open content and internally held BearingPoint assets, thus enabling the concept of an Integrated Content Repository for Information Development.

• Search for users to discover content across federated repositories.

• Rich User Interface with advanced navigational components, an integrated skin and single sign on to provide common look and feel across the platform.

• Open Methodology Compliance (OMC) capability to link an organisation into the MIKE2.0 open standard.

There are also a number of extensions to these components, that can be found of the Special:Version page of MIKE2.0.
