  ABC: An Introduction to Knowledge Management (KM) - CIO.com - Business Technology Leadership 

  http://www.cio.com/article/40343/ABC_An_Introduction_to_Knowledge_Management_KM_

  KM has assumed greater urgency in American business over the past few years as millions of baby boomers prepare to retire over the coming decade. Tens of millions of baby boomers turned 60 in 2005, so ... those of them who aren’t already retired are certainly planning to do so soon. And when they punch out for the last time, the knowledge they gleaned about their jobs, companies and industries over the course of their long careers walks out with them—unless companies take measures to retain their insights. In addition to an immanent mass retirement, the outsourcing trend has forced CIOs who have entered into outsourcing agreements address the thorny issue of transferring the knowledge of their full-time staff members, who are losing their jobs because of an outsourcing deal, to the outsourcer’s employees in order to smooth the transition to the newly restructured IT organization. What constitutes intellectual or knowledge-based assets? Not all information is valuable. Therefore, it's up to   [More...] [Less...]

  Knowledge engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_engineering

  Knowledge engineering (KE) refers to the building, maintaining and development of knowledge-based systems . It has a great deal in common with software engineering , and is related to many computer science ... domains such as artificial intelligence , databases , data mining , expert systems , decision support systems and geographic information systems . Knowledge engineering is also related to mathematical logic , as well as strongly involved in cognitive science and socio-cognitive engineering where the knowledge is produced by socio-cognitive aggregates (mainly humans) and is structured according to our understanding of how human reasoning and logic works. Various activities of KE specific for the development of a knowledge-based system: Assessment of the problem Development of a knowledge-based system shell/structure Implementation of the structured knowledge into knowledge-bases Acquisition and structuring of the related information, knowledge and specific preferences Testing and vali   [More...] [Less...]

  Knowledge Management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_management

  [ edit ] Approaches to Knowledge Management There is a broad range of thought on Knowledge Management with no unanimous definition. The approaches vary by author and school. Knowledge Management may be ... viewed from each of the following perspectives: Techno-centric : A focus on technology, ideally those that enhance knowledge sharing/growth. Organisational : How does the organisation need to be designed to facilitate knowledge processes? Which organisations work best with what processes? Ecological : Seeing the interaction of people, identity, knowledge and environmental factors as a complex adaptive system . In addition, as the discipline is maturing, there is an increasing presence of academic debates within epistemology emerging in both the theory and practice of knowledge management. British and Australian standards bodies both have produced documents that attempt to bound and scope the field, but these have received limited acceptance or awareness.

  Knowledge 

  http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/knowledge/knowledge.html

  is the perception of the agreement or disagreement of two ideas -- John Locke (1689) BOOK IV. Of Knowledge and Probability. "An Essay: Concerning Human Understanding. Locke gave us the first hint of what ... knowledge is all about. Since that time, others have tried to refine it. Davenport and Prusak (1998, p. 5) define knowledge as, "a fluid mix of framed experience, contextual information, values and expert insight that provides a framework for evaluating and incorporating new experiences and information." Notice that there are two parts to this definition: First, there is content: "a fluid mix of framed experience, contextual information, values and expert insight." This includes a number of things that we have within us, such as experiences, beliefs, values, how we feel, motivation, and information. The second part defines the function or purpose of knowledge, "that provides a framework for evaluating and incorporating new experiences and information." Notice how this relates back to L   [More...] [Less...]

  The TAO of Topic Maps 

  http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/materials/tao.html

  When topic maps are being interchanged using SGML or XML syntax, topics are represented by <topic> elements. The one-to-one relationship between topics and subjects does not prevent there being multiple ... <topic> elements for the same subject provided that these are merged to form a single topic when the interchange document is processed. Merging can take place on the basis of subject identity or the topic naming constraint. Of course, the fact that two topics do not specify the same subject identity is not sufficient to conclude that the topics do not refer to the same subject; the only thing that can be proven is that there is identity, not that there is not identity. A short explanation for non-English native speakers: In the first example, the verb “to marry” is used once in its normal sense (to get married to), and once is the sense of “to perform the marriage ceremony for”. The multiple ambiguity in the second example can best be explained using two topic associations: [time]------   [More...] [Less...]

  XML.com: What Are Topic Maps 

  http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/09/11/topicmaps.html

  Many years ago, I started looking into SGML and XML as a way to make information more manageable and findable, which was something I had been working on for a long time. It took me several years to discover ... that, although SGML and XML helped, they did not actually solve the problem. Later I discovered topic maps, and it seemed to me that here was the missing piece that would make it possible to really find what you were looking for. This article is about why I still think so. What Topic Maps Do When XML is introduced into an organization it is usually used for one of two purposes: either to structure the organization's documents or to make that organization's applications talk to other applications. These are both useful ways of using XML, but they will not help anyone find the information they are looking for. What changes with the introduction of XML is that the document processes become more controllable and can be automated to a greater degree than before, while applications can no   [More...] [Less...]

  What Knowledge Tears Apart, Networks Make Whole By Karen Stephenson Reprinted from Internal Communication Focus, no. 36 Every organization has a wealth of knowledge stored in the memories and intuitions ... of its employees. This tacit knowledge is shared through formal and non-formal networks which bond and motivate people within the organization. Karen Stephenson goes at the importance of trust in the creation of such networks and explains why managers must harness the power of networks to efficiently guide innovation and change. Introduction Knowledge economy, knowledge organization, knowledge networks, knowledge by any other name I call a fad. After listening to knowledge gurus spout less and less about knowledge, I have come to the conclusion, that we are going 'knowhere' with knowledge. Too much knowledge without integration tears us apart. The wisdom to integrate knowledge by assembling key people and skills remains the ancient art. Experience has long been considered the best teach   [More...] [Less...]

  The worlds of biology and physics both provide massive parallelism that can be exploited to speed up lengthy computations—with profound consequences for both everyday computing and cryptography. This article ... explores these possibilities and then, drawing also on material from a previous article, sketches what developments we may expect to see in the next few decades of computing technology.   [More...] [Less...]
