Knowledge management

Knowledge management
Process of creating, sharing, using and managing the knowledge and information of an organization Knowledge management (KM) is the collection of methods relating to creating, sharing, using and managing the knowledge and information of an organization.[1] It refers to a multidisciplinary approach to achieve organizational objectives by making the best use of knowledge.[2] An established discipline since 1991,[3] KM includes courses taught in the fields of business administration, information systems, management, library, and information science.[3][4] Other fields may contribute to KM research, including information and media, computer science, public health and public policy.[5] Several universities offer dedicated master's degrees in knowledge management. History[edit] In 1999, the term personal knowledge management was introduced; it refers to the management of knowledge at the individual level.[12] Research[edit] Dimensions[edit] Strategies[edit] Motivations[edit] KM technologies[edit] Related:  Organizing, understanding, analysis, & publishingSaved WikiLife Management

How to organize your EndNote library By Sarah Tanksalvala EndNote includes a number of functions to help organize your sources and find exactly what you want when you want it. Properly organizing a large number of sources can save you hours of work and frustration. Here are five ways to organize your EndNote libraries, along with tips to use them more efficiently: 1) Smart Groups: Smart groups let you automatically sort your sources by select criteria. Expert tip: When auto-importing files, use smart groups to sort your sources before you ever read them. 2) Group Sets: Whether you’ve manually created your groups or created a smart group, you can combine groups either by creating a new group from smaller ones, or by creating a group set. Expert tip: Create very specific groups and then combine them under broader group sets so you can target precise references when you’re looking for something, or general groups for browsing. 4) Tagging and comments: Add comments and tags to any source and then use those for searches later.

Knowledge representation and reasoning Knowledge representation and reasoning (KR) is the field of artificial intelligence (AI) devoted to representing information about the world in a form that a computer system can utilize to solve complex tasks such as diagnosing a medical condition or having a dialog in a natural language. Knowledge representation incorporates findings from psychology about how humans solve problems and represent knowledge in order to design formalisms that will make complex systems easier to design and build. Knowledge representation and reasoning also incorporates findings from logic to automate various kinds of reasoning, such as the application of rules or the relations of sets and subsets. Overview[edit] Knowledge-representation is the field of artificial intelligence that focuses on designing computer representations that capture information about the world that can be used to solve complex problems. This hypothesis was not always taken as a given by researchers. History[edit] Characteristics[edit]

What Is Programme Management? Traditional Project Management approaches tend to look at a project as a discrete entity having its own set of resources (the budget and project team) and producing its own set of deliverables that deliver benefit to the organisation. In a complex organisation such as a college or university rarely is any project completely self-contained. Even a relatively simple IT application is likely to require interfaces to other systems and most of our activities impact on a diverse range of stakeholder groups. Large organisations such as ours also tend to have hundreds of individual projects running at the same time and many find themselves at the mercy of inter-departmental competition for resources. This infoKit assumes you are familiar with the terms and concepts in our Project Management infoKit. At its simplest Programme Management can be defined as A group of projects managed together for added benefitTurner (1999) The additional benefits might include: Projects Versus Programmes MSP website

Knowledge base A knowledge base (KB) is a technology used to store complex structured and unstructured information used by a computer system. The initial use of the term was in connection with expert systems which were the first knowledge-based systems. The original use of the term knowledge-base was to describe one of the two sub-systems of a knowledge-based system. A knowledge-based system consists of a knowledge-base that represents facts about the world and an inference engine that can reason about those facts and use rules and other forms of logic to deduce new facts or highlight inconsistencies.[1] The term 'knowledge-base' was to distinguish from the more common widely used term database. At the time (the 1970s) virtually all large Management Information Systems stored their data in some type of hierarchical or relational database. Flat data. Early expert systems also had little need for multiple users or the complexity that comes with requiring transactional properties on data. See also[edit]

Kinship Web of human social relationships In anthropology, kinship is the web of social relationships that form an important part of the lives of all humans in all societies, although its exact meanings even within this discipline are often debated. Anthropologist Robin Fox says that the study of kinship is the study of what humans do with these basic facts of life – mating, gestation, parenthood, socialization, siblingship etc. Broadly, kinship patterns may be considered to include people related by both descent – i.e. social relations during development – and by marriage. Kinship can also refer to a principle by which individuals or groups of individuals are organized into social groups, roles, categories and genealogy by means of kinship terminologies. In biology, "kinship" typically refers to the degree of genetic relatedness or the coefficient of relationship between individual members of a species (e.g. as in kin selection theory).

Quality System - Quality Management Plans A Quality Management Plan documents how an organization will plan, implement, and assess the effectiveness of its quality assurance and quality control operations. Specifically, it describes how an organization structures its quality system, the quality policies and procedures, areas of application, and roles, responsibilities, and authorities. The elements of a quality system are documented in a Quality Management Plan. Both EPA organizations and organizations performing data collection activities funded by EPA are required to document their quality systems. The Quality Management Plan is an organization or program-specific document; it describes the general practices of an organization or program. Project-specific details of individual projects of the organization or program are documented in a Quality Assurance Project Plan (see QA Project Plans).

Tutorial 4: Introducing RDFS & OWL Next: Querying Semantic Data Having introduced the advantages of modeling vocabulary and semantics in data models, let's introduce the actual technology used to attribute RDF data models with semantics. RDF data can be encoded with semantic metadata using two syntaxes: RDFS and OWL. After this tutorial, you should be able to: Understand how RDF data models are semantically encoded using RDFS and OWLUnderstand that OWL ontologies are RDF documentsUnderstand OWL classes, subclasses and individualsUnderstand OWL propertiesBuild your own basic ontology, step by stepEstimated time: 5 minutes You should have already understood the following tutorial (and pre-requisites) before you begin: Tutorial 3: Semantic Modeling In the last lesson, we compared some of the more popular traditional forms of modeling data with the semantic model, and then introduced a situation where data sharing was enhanced and made significantly easier by using a semantic web approach. 4.1 A Starting Example 01. 08. 09. 10. 11.

Last.fm Social music Web radio site On 30 May 2007, it was acquired by CBS Corporation via its streaming division CBS Interactive, today a part of Paramount Global, for £140 million (US$280 million, equivalent to $396,500,000 in 2023).[2] The site formerly offered a radio streaming service, which was discontinued on 28 April 2014.[3] The ability to access the large catalogue of music stored on the site was later removed entirely, replaced by links to YouTube and Spotify where available.[4] History[edit] Audioscrobbler and Last.fm (2002–2006)[edit] Last.fm was founded in 2002 by Felix Miller, Martin Stiksel, Michael Breidenbruecker and Thomas Willomitzer, all of them from Germany or Austria, as an Internet radio station and music community site, using similar music profiles to generate dynamic playlists. An update to the site was made on 14 July 2006, which included a new software application for playing Last.fm radio streams and for logging of tracks played with other media players. Features[edit]

Change management Change management is an approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations to a desired future state.[1] In a project management context, change management may refer to a project management process wherein changes to the scope of a project are formally introduced and approved.[2][3] History[edit] 1960s[edit] Everett Rogers wrote the book Diffusion of Innovations in 1962. 1980s[edit] McKinsey consultant Julien Phillips first published a change management model in 1982 in the journal Human Resource Management, though it took a decade for his change management peers to catch up with him.[4] Robert Marshak credits the big 6 accounting firms and management consulting firms with creating the change management industry when they branded their reengineering services groups as change management services in the late 1980s.[5] 1990s[edit] In 1994, Daryl Conner founded Conner Partners and in 1993, he wrote the book, Managing at the Speed of Change. 2000s[edit] 2010s[edit] Approach[edit]
