Reference excerpt

The Method for an Integrated Knowledge Environment (MIKE2.0) was an open source delivery methodology for enterprise information management consultants. MIKE2.0 was released in December 2006 by BearingPoint's Information Management team under the leadership of Robert Hillard. The project used Creative Commons Attribution License and was implemented by Sean McClowry. The project was run by the MIKE2.0 Governance Association, a non-profit organisation based in Switzerland, with BearingPoint and Deloitte as the founding members. In March 2013 a book Information Development Using MIKE2.0 was published promoting it. In March 2015, DAMA-International (now known as the Data Management Association) and the MIKE2.0 Governance Association announced an agreement to transition the methodology and associated IP to DAMA-International.

Description The methodology provided a framework for information management. It covered how information is created, accessed, presented and used in decision-making to how it is kept secure, stored and destroyed.

Information development While initially focused around structured data, it coined the term "information development". The MIKE2.0 approach is based on the premise that traditional software delivery has under-focused on the information management. The goal of MIKE2.0 is to create a new competency, specifically for managing information,

Integrated content repository

MIKE2.0 introduces the concept of an integrated content repository. This repository is a federated hub of shared assets from the Internet and content held internally within an organization. Using this concept, organizations can create mashups to the MIKE2.0 standard and information management assets on the World Wide Web. Although they are not required to share any of their assets with the open source community, they are encouraged to contribute. The content repository architecture is based on using wiki-pages created in MIKE2.0, assets that are linked from other sites using a social bookmarking tools and common tagging and extensions that allows users to create mashups into their organization.

Open methodology framework MIKE2.0 claimed to be a pilot project for a "framework". It proposes to be an approach which sits between a completely open Wikipedia-style model and a more rigorous development approach seen with software development. The collaborative technology, the structure of the content model and a number of content governance articles are used to enable this concept. The methodology states that this model is likely to evolve over time .

Content model

MIKE2.0 is made up of building blocks, given in a block diagram.

Products Products tend to focus on a certain type of problem as opposed to being generalized for information management like the overall implementation guide.

SAFE Architecture

The approach of the MIKE2 Methodology is to drive implementation of information management projects through a conceptual architecture framework known as strategic architecture for the federated enterprise (SAFE). SAFE goes across applications, data, and infrastructure and is designed to accommodate the inherent complexities of a highly federated organisation. Using a Conceptual Architecture helps align projects to a target vision for the future and to take the complexity out of the myriad of vendor choices around integration and information management.

Information governance Information governance is a term used in MIKE2.0. The governance model provides assessment tools, information standards, organizational structures and roles and responsibilities in relation to managing information assets. Governance 2.0 is another term used, along with Enterprise 2.0 techniques and technologies.

Overall task list Overview and Key Concepts frame the overall approach as well as the rationale for why MIKE2.0 was created. The overall task list is a project management and project implementation methodology consisting of five phases, activities for each phase, tasks for each activity and inputs/outputs for each task. These are: Phase 1 – Business Assessment and Strategy Definition Blueprint Phase 2 – Technology Assessment and Selection Blueprint Phase 3 – Information Management Roadmap and Foundation Activities Phase 4 – Design Increment Phase 5 – Incremental Development, Testing, Deployment and Improvement The task list is underpinned by the information development approach and tightly integrated with SAFE architecture.

Usage Models show how the different tasks are applied for different solutions. Usage models use an indicator approach to show the relevance of an activity.

Supporting assets Supporting assets complement the overall methodology with:

Tools and technique papers Deliverable templates Capability statements Software assets Other tools and guides Supporting Assets are typically the lowest-level assets of the overall approach.

Collaboration environment

The MIKE2.0 collaboration environment is provided through omCollab, an open source collaboration product that provides the following capabilities:

A Wiki to collaboratively create and share content (based on the same MediaWiki software that powers Wikipedia) Blogs to publish individual or group-based information (based on WordPress) Social Bookmarking for storing, sharing and discovering web bookmarks Social Networking for the MIKE2.0 community to store basic profile information and to interact with one another. Tag (metadata) and categories are used to classify articles, blogs and bookmarks into a common taxonomy. MIKE2.0 brings these two concepts together in the bookmarking component. Techniques and technologies to mashup to MIKE2.0, to build integrated solutions based on open content and internally held assets Search for users to discover content across federated repositories. MIKE2.0 uses Google Custom Search. A rich user interface with advanced navigational components an integrated skin and single sign on to provide common look and feel across the platform An open methodology compliance (OMC) capability to link an organisation into MIKE2.0 The overall product is referred to as "omCollab" and was released in 2008.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with MIKE2.0 methodology

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what MIKE2.0 methodology claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to MIKE2.0 methodology before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about MIKE2.0 methodology ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of MIKE2.0 methodology

In research: MIKE2.0 methodology appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses MIKE2.0 methodology in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: MIKE2.0 methodology is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Enterprise architecture, Information science, Methodology, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for MIKE2.0 methodology outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
