A jamjar is a container for a collection of "tiddlers" - a tiddler being a small discrete item of knowledge. Related items of knowledge may thus be grouped together into a collective entity callad a "jamjar". The history of this derivation is as follows: in Tiddlywiki we create small items of electronic knowledge that are referred to as tiddlers; we do not have a collective noun to refer to a group of them. Small boys (and some girls) used to carry collections of tiddlers (the fish variety) around in jamjars. Hence, our use of this term as a collective expression for a collection of small knowledge objects derived from the Tiddlywiki domain. We also refer to small items of derived knowledge as "nuggets"; however, it is important to keep this term free of implementation dependencies. So, in knowledge capture terms, we data mine for nuggets and then represent them within a more pragmatic framework such as Tiddlywiki - where the term "tiddler" is used. This involves a knowledge transformation from "nuggets" into "tiddlers". Further details are given in my paper "Managing e-Knowledge - Mapping Nuggets onto Tiddlers" which is available on request.

jam jar[edit]
If jamjar is a misspelling of jam jar, why is there only this entry and why does jam jar redirect to jamjar?

A good old fashioned mess. I deleted jam jar and jam-jar which redirected here. Under what basis is jamjar a misspelling? Shouldn't it be a (not very common) alternative spelling, and of which one? Are all three readily attestable? Also should the car sense use {{trans-see}}? IMO no because car is standard English, and jamjar isn't. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:37, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- Well, the last thing we want are translations of the car sense of jamjar. How would you propose to discourage them? DCDuring TALK 16:03, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
- As long as they were colloquial they'd be fine, like French bagnole. Perhaps trans-see, but to another synonym of car that's more colloquial. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:05, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
