First of all, I think we need to clarify terms. Folksonomy is the term used for the classification of mechanisms adopted in social and collaborative environments. This is also known as collaborative tagging, social classification and some other buzzwords you can easily Google. I think that folksonomy is very undervalued…
I was inspired to see Josh’s post on Solidsmack – Your Future 3D CAD Interface May be Soft, Cozy Memory Foam. I think this is a great idea for an alternative user experience for CAD and design, which will make it more adaptive and user-friendly. I find the research related…
Since last year, I have seen many discussions on the Web about PLM 2.0. The number of posts is growing… I searched on the PLM side, starting from the initial Dassault Systems announcements last year: Dassault Systems: PLM 2.0 Online for all based on V6 Platform.

How can we improve user adoption of PLM in the organization? What technologies can we use?? How can we reuse what we already have? I’ve found that many companies are using Microsoft SharePoint. It’s interesting that although SharePoint provides a lot of capabilities, not all of them are used by…
RSS technology is used widely today for communication and notification about changes in Web content. I think that RSS is massively undervalued as a technology for the PLM community and in Enterprises in general. What would happen if we used RSS to notify about CAD or 3D Content? Today’s RSS…
I’d like to come to raise the idea of visual WIKI. This is a possible way to make PLM more collaborative and more adaptable for users’ needs. In today’s world, PLM companies are struggling about how to deliver PLM implementation quickly and at a low cost. The traditional way –…
