User-Centric On-Demand Self-Service
The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing highlights On-Demand Self-Service as one of the essential characteristics of the cloud model.

Slides from an ISKO workshop
Document management systems, content portals, intranets and collaboration platforms rely heavily for their effectiveness on both taxonomies and search working as an integrated whole. Effectiveness means that diverse users can get their jobs done well using the toolset, and it means that business goals are supported. The importance of this cannot be understated. It is not a simple task to approach the building of a taxonomy appropriate to a diversity of users and a set of business goals, nor to optimise the eventual search and retrieval experience. It is easy to deliver a project poorly. Taxonomy and search projects are prone to unrealistic expectations, poor knowledge of the socio-technical requirements (i.e. how to scope and implement the links between business and social needs and the technological opportunities) and poor implementation including insufficient provision for change management. However any failure is an opportunity to learn what not to do. In this half day workshop our three facilitators will share examples from their years of experience of projects that failed to meet their objectives, and participants will use the reverse brainstorming technique to build a set of guidelines to improve the chances of success in taxonomy and search projects. We'll organise the workshop in three stages:
Before - how to scope a project for success
During - the methodologies and evidence you need to deliver a good result
After - how to implement a taxonomy and/or search capability so that it succeeds
