This talk will trace the development of Siemens' largest knowledge base, “Wikisphere,” which began in 2008, to highlight three key principles that contributed to its success. While some use cases are fairly straightforward, others emerged in unexpected areas. Factors such as the degree of openness, level of structure, and extent of automation seem to play crucial roles in understanding the adoption or decline in usage. Finally, the current “AI tsunami” serves to illustrate why hypertextual content offers significant structural advantages over digital artefacts from the “document galaxy.”
