To help forum visitors find answers to common questions easily, and to reduce the amount of repeatedly asked question postings, the COE forum is collecting faqs. (Frequently Asked Questions)
If you know or have seen such postings, or, from your own experience know common newbie questions and their answers, please let us know. Either send me an email (click on the sunglasses icon to find my email address) or post it in the relevant Discussion Area yourself.
If you post it, try to use these guidelines to help people find it easily.
The subject should begin with "FAQ:" followed by a clear description to help them find the right faq.
(To find all faqs type 'faq' in the search box at the top of the list of threads.)
Please give credit to the original Authors where appropriate.
Comments to the postings in the thread are welcomed to refine an improve the information. Updates and corrections of the faq original posting by the author will also help ensure the infortmation is concise and complete. |

I second the idea. Having said that what makes a topic (Thread herein) suitable for FAQs? Finding “topics of interest” could be difficult if there are many FAQ submissions. May be, if submissions are categorized, we could ease the pain.
For beginners, KBE consist of at least 5 workbenches (KWA, KWE, PEO, PKT or BKT) not counting, Parameters, Equations, Relations, Languages, and VBA. I am already seeing the confusion on this KBE track's submissions about “what topics or threads deal with which workbenches” if the supporting workbenches are not mentioned by name within the thread’s descriptions?
May be FAQs could deal with “General Category" referring to perhaps multiple workbenches or other topics of interests such as “KBE process” or “Best Practices.” Threads/Questions on a particular workbench perhaps could start with the “name of the Primary workbench” followed by a suitable Title for the chosen thread?
This way all submissions would be automatically categorized in accordance with their relevance or point of use (KWA, KWE, PEO, PKT or BKT, VB, FAQ and General)
What do you think?

The answer could come out of watching to see how things develop. We can always change the category when we have some FAQs to look at.
Also, it would not be too bad if a FAQ seeker had to click through 2 or 3 posts before finding the right answer. I would be delighted if that was all it took to solve some of my problems.
Try it and see! |

Brian,
I agree with your breakdown and labels, as a start.
Workbenches (v5)
General
In the former, the explosion of the collection will generate plenty of questions. In the latter, that explosion necessitates that users easily find a coherent base. But, “KBE process” or “Best Practices” are not sufficient to cover the issues. We will need the following two items.
Knowledge Capture
Knowledge Verification
Those two bring in the larger picture dealing with how KBE fits with the world. The first relates to requirement management (including those items not covered by the PLM umbrella) as well as the ever growing base of knowledge acquired through time and effort. The second implies a continual scrutiny of the validity and value of the tool suites and their associated practices. In terms of verification, the focus can even lead to the underlying scientific paradigms.
Given the ability to search text and to build indexes, other partitions can be built as required by ontological shifts, of which, I expect to see a few in the next few years. Progress tends to lead to a type of re-shuffling which has always been problematic. Perhaps, we’ll get better at dealing with this.
