266 B. Concepts and Theories
The map supports staffing of multimedia projects. The map visualizes what
experts are available for the company’s five areas of competence animation, data
base, graphic design, project management and technology know-how and the three
product lines Web systems, stand-alone systems, CD-ROMs, at the company’s
three main locations Basel, Berlin and New York. Additionally, two employees are
not located in a single office, but float between the three locations.
Figure B-45 shows a portion of the main knowledge structure used by the
author’s work group as the central access structure to a knowledge workspace
implemented in the knowledge management system Open Text Livelink 435 .

FIGURE B-45. Knowledge map of the structure of a knowledge workspace
The first level of the knowledge structure consists of the terms department,
projects, research, support, teaching and topics. Thus, it reflects the two core processes
of a university department, research and teaching. In the research branch,
there are a number of workspaces to support specific research streams that the
work group is engaged in. This includes the Ph.D. workspaces of the research
assistants. Teaching contains workspaces for each individual course or seminar.
