Although I'm not a fan of the Web 2.0 hype-title, I just call it the web, ebizQ blogger Sandy Kemsley (who it looks like will be at ARIS ProcessWorld 2007 in February) ties in some of a bloggers favorite tasks (tagging, and RSS syndication) in her 2006 Wrap-up / 2007 Look-forward post:
"There are two more Web 2.0 characteristics that I think we're going to start seeing in BPM in 2007: tagging and process syndication. Tagging would allow anyone to add freeform keywords to a process instance (for example, one that required special handling) to make it easier to find that instance in the future by searching on the keywords. Process event syndication would allow internal and external process participants to "subscribe" to a process, and feed that process' events into a standard feed reader in order to monitor the process, thereby improving visibility into the process through the use of existing feed technologies such as RSS (Really Simple Syndication).
It truly will be interesting to see how these blogging-popularized knowledge ellicitation (tagging) and knowledge sharing (syndication via RSS) techniques and tools integrate in with BPM product offerings.
