The Army's Battle Command Knowledge System (BCKS,) has deployed MarkLogic Server from Mark Logic to support knowledge management and information sharing efforts. The BCKS' solution is called the Warrior Knowledge Base (WKB).With its technology, Mark Logic reports in a recent press release, soldiers can rapidly discover, access and use content. They can build virtual documents, pulling together the most relevant information from many search results such as lessons learned, reports and articles written by soldiers, civilians and contractors. The technology helps the experienced soldier share information with the less experienced, according to Mark Logic. Further, it reports, rapid knowledge transfer enables warfighters to respond to changing conditions and apply new tactics faster than the enemy."Connecting our 90,000-plus members with relevant documents in the WKB repository within seconds, and then sharing that content with other forum members, is our goal," says Mark Uhart, WKB integrator and knowledge management consultant. "The WKB shows promising capabilities that have already demonstrated great utility."Uhart continues, "For example, doctrinal content in Army field manuals published in English-Arabic (used in Iraq) or English-Pushto (used in Afghanistan) can be difficult to discover, access and understand using a traditional database approach. The file sizes are also very large, which could make finding relevant content a time-consuming task on a low-bandwidth network. The metadata assigned to these types of documents, and the fact that content can be discovered and viewed page-by-page without having to download the file, allows discovery and use of only the relevant content. BCKS has the capability to store and manage content in 37 different languages."The Army's Battle Command Knowledge System is a major subordinate organization of the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.

The FBI is testing a new collaborative internal Web site, or wiki, called Bureaupedia that officials say will enable users to create an encyclopedia of lessons learned, best practices and subject-matter expertise. Officials see Bureaupedia as a knowledge management tool that will let agents and analysts share their experiences to ensure that their accumulated insight remains after they retire. The project is a collaborative effort between FBI's chief knowledge officer and chief technology officer. The FBI's new wiki uses the same open-source software as Wikipedia, and after the test period is complete, the agency will launch it on the FBI's secure intranet, FBINet. Via FederalComputerWeek

Army Knowledge Online, one of government's first knowledge portals and Web 2.0 projects (years before the term Web 2.0 was coined), plans to announce next week that the site will reach a major milestone: the 1 billionth log on. The Army created AKO in 1998, and at the time Miriam Browning, then the director of information management in the Army's office of chief information officer, told Federal Computer Week that the site leverages the Army's "intellectual capital in a dynamic and collaborative way using the principles of knowledge management and Internet/intranet technologies. Our goal with AKO is to enable the Army to achieve a strategic advantage in the networked, knowledge-based global community of the 21st century." In 2001, AKO offered soldiers a proprietary and secure instant messaging application.According to an email Appian Corp., which built the AKO portal, sent out on Tuesday, the 1 billionth log on to the system "is a historic milestone. We're not aware that any other portal has ever hit the one billion mark - or even come close. To put it in perspective, if a typical user session is 12 minutes, AKO has been used for more than 22,000 man years. That's as if 100 soldiers had sat down after George Washington's victory at Yorktown (1781) and used the system nonstop until the present day." Via nextgov
