Streaming Sensemaking

John Jonas has about the only techno-centric/analytical take on Knowledge Management I've seen that seems to avoid the traps of (a) thick/clunky semantic-trending-toward-AI technology, and (b) large complex models. Not surprisingly, it focuses on (a) context, and (b) streaming processing of event data.

This presentation needs the voice track to fully communicate (especially his description of how these concepts informed the fraud detection systems he built for casinos), but it clearly shows the challenge posed by the hyperconnectivity-driven growth in data and decisions. Regardless of where this particular technology goes, Jonas has some of the key nouns right (context, sensemaking, etc.).
