MUMMY - The Project

Users Needs_____

Efficient mobile KM using pocket-sized devices is still faced with open issues, such as on-line KM facilities for mobile-rich multimedia and hypermedia support to link personal notes, project documents, and other knowledge objects within a knowledge base. For instance, project managers in the facility management domain are still faced with an error prone decision-making process, because of missing physical files and folders or unseen plan material. Neither integrated ad hoc notes nor image capturing is provided for mobile, business-relevant decisions and planning, nor a possibility for a context-sensitive retrieval. The conventional workflow acquires data onsite in a paper form and the digital update is done afterwards in the office. Incorrect input is harder to recognise offsite and corrections are frequently not performed at all, or done only with big delays.
