图数据库驱动的知识管理应用特性对比研究——以Roam Research为例

Comparative Research on the Characteristics of Graph Database-driven Knowledge Management Applications:Taking Roam Research as an Example

[目的/意义]分析图数据库驱动的新型知识管理工具特性,使知识管理界的研究者和使用者改善和提高其知识的交流方式及知识的产出效率。[方法/过程]梳理传统知识管理工具遇到的问题,以Roam Research为例,用对比方式展现图数据库驱动知识管理应用的有益特性。通过梳理文献,对比知识协作的其他形态,展望这一新型应用给知识社区带来的新机遇。[结果/结论]通过对比分析和实例研究,认为Roam Research的细粒度、双向链接、可视化图谱、开放接口、Ad hoc结构等特性,可显著提升知识管理工具的能力范围,而且为大规模非线性知识社区的协作和知识的快速生产提供基础。在技术的发展、信息过载环境下思考方式的转变值得引起知识管理、知识社区和知识生产领域的研究者足够的关注与跟踪。

[Purpose/significance]This paper analyzes the characteristics of a new knowledge management tool driven by graph databases for researchers and users in the knowledge management community.This will improve and enhance the exchange of knowledge and improve the efficiency of knowledge.[Method/process]This paper compared the problems encountered in traditional knowledge management tools and showed beneficial features of knowledge management applications driven by graph database in a comparative manner by taking Roam Research as an example.By combing the literature,we compared other forms of knowledge collaboration and looked forward to the new opportunities that this new application brought to knowledge communities.[Result/conclusion]Through comparative analysis and case research,this paper concludes that features of Roam Research such as fine grit,bidirectional link,visual graphs,open interfaces and Ad hoc structures will significantly enhance the range of capabilities of knowledge management tools,and moreover,provide a basis for collaboration in large-scale nonlinear knowledge communities and rapid production of knowledge.The development of technology and the transformation of the way of thinking in the information overload environment deserve enough attention and tracking by researchers in the fields of knowledge management,knowledge communities and knowledge production.
