The focus of much of the current development in Knowledge Management is on extracting knowledge from the normal operations of the organization.
The well known Create - Capture - Organize Access - Use cycle is employed to 'manage' the knowledge.
But in knowledge-based organizations the creation of new knowledge, or its conversion into technology in the innovation cycle, is the core business of the organization.
The 'within-and-between minds' knowledge, while being the most precious organizational asset, staunchly resists the Capture - Organize - Access stages.
Against this rationale, the paper explores the issues particularly relevant to knowledge management in knowledge-based organizations, based on experience in the CSIR (the "National Technology Lab") in South Africa.

Clinicians were keen to practice evidence-based medicine but found that they didn't have the time and/or expertise in order to keep up to date with the latest developments.
The National Strategic Programme for the NHS outlines its strategy to: 'Support staff through effective electronic communications, better learning and knowledge management, a reduction in the time spent finding essential information and to make specialised expertise more accessible.'
Despite this programme, research has shown that within health and social care services, knowledge management is still very much in the early stages of development and channels of communication are often disparate.
CHAIN was established as a feasibility/pilot project in the London region as part of the NHS Research and Development programme.
A limited allocation is being held and booking early is therefore recommended.

"Sales Management" and "Sales Knowledge" are two capabilities required to drive a successful sales organization.
Sales Management refers to the ability to take a "lead" or "cold call" situation and systematically navigate through an organization in order to determine and interface with the various decision makers.
Sales personnel are required to maintain a contact history, follow-up and construct an internal consensus builder within the client organization.
Knowledge generally revolves around customer requirements, applicable solutions, product performance or product compatibilities, etc.
In response to sales force requests the technical and product management organizations often transfer their knowledge to marketing organizations to codify the information into brochures and websites.

We believe that the intersection of technology and education will help meet this need and be an immensely powerful trend for the foreseeable future.
We anticipate the e-knowledge industry capturing an increasing share of the education market, as technology and the Internet encroach on one of the world's oldest and largest industries.
Distributed learning is education that is delivered via an alternate means, such as the Internet, CD-ROM, television, video cassette, pre-recorded audio, etc. Historically, the most common form had been CD-ROM software through which users could respond to interactive content and quizzes; however, we believe that an enormous market is emerging in distance education that is provided over the Internet.

Tomorrow's careers in science and technology will thus have to cope with requirements, and not exclusively with traditional job profiles for which universities and engineering schools are still training.
The present paper is based on a report of the working group of the Euroscience Association involving professors, science managers, job agencies and young scientists.
Knowledge is part of the human capital of engineers and scientists and is recognised to be central to the development of new technologies and products.

The ability to leverage organizational expertise is a critical success factor in most forms of knowledge work.
The design of computer-based support for knowledge management requires extensive, costly and inefficient cycles of knowledge elicitation to generate a reasonable knowledge map.
We propose an alternative approximation technique which reduces these costs, while providing functionally equivalent data.
As with the test participants, people found the KMI engaging, challenging and even fun.
In evaluating the responses, we found no significant difference in scores among the three organizational groups of technical developers, writers or support.
We have argued the value of knowledge mapping approximations as a profitable alternative to standard knowledge assessment techniques.

What is the EKC and how will it be valuable to agencies, businesses, and the public?
Create new knowledge related to e-Learning and Knowledge Management, synthesize existing knowledge, and inform the design and development of next generation tools.
· Supports delivery of knowledge to the public and its agents during times of calm and crisis.
· Searchable, auto-archiving, expert network How can the EKC be accessed?
The servers continuously update their information and share their meta-data with other servers in the network thereby providing inherent redundancy.
The DKRs contain information gathered through web pages, emails, message board postings, etc.
The collaboration system features layers of collaboration -- text, audio to text, audio, video, Access Grid -- based upon the needs and hardware capabilities of the users.

The term 'traditional knowledge' is used to describe any knowledge, innovation, or custom of indigenous, tradition-based local communities that is of relevance in ensuring the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.
Within the framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the contracting states have undertaken to respect and promote traditional knowledge and to make it generally accessible.
Biological resources and traditional knowledge are defined by indigenous peoples as a common good.
This is in contrast to the practice of the WTO which through the TRIPS agreement (Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) is seeking to institute private and individual rights to knowledge and intellectual property.

Many forms of support are provided to organisations helping them to make the most of their knowledge assets through an integrated approach that takes account of their people, business processes and technical infrastructures.
The success factors that were identified point to the importance of achieving strategic fit between business direction and knowledge-related management practices.
Winning Commitment for KM The study demonstrated how the process of building commitment to knowledge management initiatives can be fragile and easily shattered by inconsistencies in management actions and behaviour.

For example, the phrase 'knowledge environment' includes data files, clinical information, and scholarly publications.
The knowledge environment must evolve to protect intellectual property and personal confidentiality while assuring a basic level of easy access to digital resources.
To achieve this will require legislative and regulatory action that assures the continuation of fair use for educational uses and defines parameters for access to information needed for health care.
ORGANIZATION & OPERATIONS: Health sciences centers have support staff available to help walk-in clients plus information professionals who are certified for their skill at computer-mediated communication, clinical information service, instructional design, research support and other technology-enabled functions.
COMMUNICATION & ACCESS: The chief risk is that the knowledge environment will evolve in a way that excludes portions of the population from access and information delivery.

The e-Knowledge resource is now too precious to waste and companies need to move beyond ad hoc management of it.
The challenge is, how do we accelerate learning and innovation, in a planned, intelligent, and systematic way.
Organizations and individuals are suffering from rapid change, elevated risk, information overload, shrinking market cycle times.
What we offer that's unique, is a deep understanding of knowledge enabling software, codification of e-Knowledge performance pathways into identifiable patterns.
By helping customers to understand and recognize these patterns and how they work, we provide superior guides to taking profitable action.
We also help clients to rethink their businesses in the light of new mental and knowledge business models.

We report on experience with using RDF to provide a rich content language for use with FIPA agent toolkits, and on RDFS as a metadata language.
This is a great advantage to the programmer.
While the RDF model is simple and may not be expressive enough to represent complex and sophisticated knowledge, higher-level layers can be nicely built above RDF to incorporate the richer semantics.
This is demonstrated in our RDF encoding of the CIF constraint language.

Motivation (why do we care about knowledge systems?) What is meant by knowledge representation?
To know what we think, to be masters of our own meaning, will make a solid foundation for great and weighty thought.
Automatic classification can be done if concepts have clear definitions, classes can be organized into a hierarchy rather than the user specifying their exact place Hybrid classification schemes are also sometimes employed However concepts are not always easy to identify
