Navigation Tool:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX1ACRONYM LISTINTRODUCTIONAs knowledge management (KM) and information technology (IT) have developed andgrown, they have evolved numerous technical terms and phrases that those not intimatelyinvolved in these disciplines may find difficult to understand. These terms are useful in efficientlycommunicating among professionals, but they can be difficult to absorb in a rapid manner, and itcan be difficult to obtain consistent definitions. There is a spectrum of tools to address differentaspects of the jargon development phenomenon. At the low end of the range are lists that defineeach letter of an acronym but do not usually provide much else—they are essentially data-leveltools. Many glossaries provide short definitions of terms and phrases; they are essentiallyinformation-level tools. Unless one has an idea or context already, it is difficult to trulyunderstand when only provided with information. This encyclopedia addresses a void in thepresent spectrum. It is an attempt to create and distribute a knowledge-level tool, although it isnot as voluminous as a full-boat encyclopedia (which would be impossible to adequatelydistribute). This encyclopedia was constructed using a number of different sources. Much of it,however, is tacit knowledge taken from my experience on-the-job at the Program Executive Officefor Information Technology (PEO-IT), the Department of the Navy (DON) Chief InformationOffice (CIO), and from courses taken at the Information Resources Management College (IRMC)to achieve certifications (CIO and National Security Telecommunications and InformationSystems Security Instruction [NSTISSI] 4011).This document is not all-inclusive, but it provides a first step at capturing and elucidatingmany commonly used KM and IT terms and phrases. Descriptions are limited to KM and IT wordusage though some words have other meanings (not addressed here) as well. A Web version ishosted on the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) and PEO-IT Web sites athttp://www.dau.mil/pubs/pubs-main.asp and http://www.peo-it.navy.mil, and included infuture versions of the DON Knowledge Centric Organization (KCO) Toolkit CD. The onlineversion will be maintained and periodically updated. Please help keep the online version currentby submitting additional terms and comments via the Web site. For more information, feedback,or to submit changes, please contact me at 703-601-3061, 703-946-2731, orpollockn@spawar.navy.mil.I have added a considerable number of quotations from various sources to enhance theencyclopedia. They are an attempt to extend the knowledge inherent in this document into thelonger scope of human knowledge and into the realm of wisdom. I anticipate that some readerswill find them of particular value and interest while others will find them perplexing or even3
annoying. I have differentiated them from the text via differing font size and placement at the endof each entry. However, similar to Zen Buddhist koans, the quotations that may appear the leastrelevant may be the very ones to shed light where it is needed most (though I had to stretch a bitto find a quote for a few of the entries). I hope you find them enjoyable as well as enlightening. AsSamuel Johnson (1709–1784) stated: “Every quotation contributes something to the stability orenlargement of the language” (from The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, Oxford University Press,New York, 1980, p. 281, No. 7) and Pettibone Poole said, “He who laughs, lasts” (from A Glass Eyeat the Keyhole, 1938 as quoted by Robert Byrne in The 637 Best Things Anybody Ever Said, Atheneum,NY, 1982, #72).USESThis encyclopedia can, of course, be used as a reference document (similar to the EncyclopediaBritannica or Americana) for KM and IT terms and phrases. It can also be used as a training aid forKM and IT courses. In addition, in can be used as an INDOC (indoctrination) tool for newemployees. Such usage can provide the person new to IT or KM with basic knowledge fromwhich to build and can elicit informed questions to expand the person’s personal knowledge baseby eliciting implicit or tacit knowledge from more experienced employees. In addition, PEO-ITintends to employ the encyclopedia as part of its Enterprise Solutions outreach program.NAVIGATIONAn alphabetic banner at the start of the document provides hyperlinks to the letters of thealphabet within the document as well as to the acronym list. Depending upon your software, youmay have to hit the “control” key while clicking the left mouse button to reach the desiredlocation. The letters and acronym list may also be directly accessed through “Insert” on the toolbar, followed by “Bookmark,” selecting the element desired, and then “Go to.”The acronym list is attached at the beginning of the document. It includes references to whereacronyms are used within the encyclopedia and can, therefore, be used as an abbreviated index.Searches in Microsoft Word can also be made. These can be facilitated (if searching for entries) byselecting “advanced search,” “font,” and “bold” since the entry headers are all in bold. Thus, onlythe entry headers (which are repeated in the acronym list) will be found via this search.DISCLAIMEROpinions, conclusions, and recommendations expressed or implied within are solelythose of the authors. They do not necessarily represent the views of the Department of theNavy or any other U.S. government agency. Cleared for public release; distributionunlimited (from Information Age Anthology: Part Four, International Affairs, David Albertsand Daniel Papp, Eds., National Defense University (NDU) Press, Washington, DC, 1987,p. iv).4
ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThe idea for this document came from my former boss, John DeSalme, former DON programexecutive officer for space, communications, and sensors (PEO-SCS) while he was attending ourDON CIO electronic Business/Knowledge Fair 2001 on August 30, 2001. The effort to create thisencyclopedia was encouraged by our deputy chief information officer, Ms. Alex Bennet, withoutwhose support it would certainly not have been possible. I thank Messrs. Joseph Cipriano andSteven Ehrler (PEO-IT) and Dan Porter (DON CIO), who supported my request for a rotationalassignment at the DON CIO, and Ms. Eileen Roberson for her continued support that enabled meto complete the encyclopedia.I also wish to thank my instructors at the IRMC: Jay Alden, LTC Carr, Dr. Chang, NormCrane, Pete Denega, Jack Egan, Ed Fitzpatrick, Gerry Gingrich, Bill Hodson, Phil Irish, LTC CraigKaucher, Howard Looney, Dr. M. L. Martin, LTC McNamara, John Michel, Robert Norris, JeromePaige, Les Pang, Phil Parsons, Blair Peterson, Linda Polydys, MAJ Cliff Poole, CAPT Jean Sando,John Saunders, Geoff Seaver, Carolyn Strano, Brian Sutton, Dwight Toavs, Charles Tompkins,Nancy Wills, N. Wood, et al., and the many individual contributors to this pocket encyclopedia:DON CIO Contributors: Karen Danis, Jill Garcia, Floyd Groce, Matthew Hart, CAPT JamesKantner, Debbie Lemmeyer, Jean Pate, Lynda Pierce, Sandra Smith, and Frank Sowa.Other Contributors: David Akin (University of Maryland), John Andre (GSA), Richard Burk(HUD), Dr. Robert Burkuhl (SOCOM), Charles Cather (HQDA, U.S. Army), Ken Creighton (IITResearch Institute), Matt D'Antuono (SSC Charleston, Washington Navy Yard), Clay Dean(NAVFAC), Walt Dyer (PEO-IT), Becky Fitzgerald (CINCPACFLT, U.S. Navy), Virgil Frizzel(George Mason University), Karen Gilmore (DAU), Beth Gramoy (SPAWAR Systems Center, SanDiego), Gary Hacker (OPM), Janice Herd (Library of Congress), John Hickok (DAU), Hans Jerrell(DAU), Erik Johnson (PEO-IT), Seth Kahan (World Bank), Geoff Malafsky (TII Corp.), Dr.3Margaret Myers (ASD (C I)), Dick Opp (PEO-IT), Lisa Pirone (EDO Corp.), Mike Rauscher (U.S.Forest Service), Dr. Vincent Ribiere (American University), Harriet Riofrio (OSD), CharlesRogers (SSC Charleston, Washington Navy Yard), Janet Scheitle (U.S. Army), Susan Tarr(Library of Congress), Susan Turnbull (GSA), Bob Turner (FAA), Peter Williams (Utah StateUniversity), and Bill Windhurst (SPAWAR).
