We describe a theoretical basis and a practical representation framework on which community knowledge can be built and used.
The dimensions need not be independent in the sense that a value in one or more dimensions may affect or determine a value in another dimension - the brightness of a colour will effect its saturation (chromaticity).

Tuesday 9th February 1999 - Knowledge Technologies International (KTI) has released a radically advanced version of The KBO EnvironmentTM only four months after it was first unveiled (October 23rd 1998).
Its major new addition is the Standard Application Architecture (SAA) which for the first time provides a foundation for knowledge exchange and sharing and enables far easier implementation of the technology to empower the Knowledge-Based Organization (KBO).
Like DNA the software incorporates a fundamental 'understanding' of every element of a process or design so that it can replicate, disassemble, reassemble or vary that process or design without breaking the fundamental rules.
The Standard Application Architecture (SAA) is a new environment, a new toolkit, and a new methodology for rapid development, integration, and deployment of Knowledge-Based Applications.
KnowManage
Staff functions are being reduced, as are management structures.
There is a need to replace the informal knowledge management of the staff function with formal methods in customer aligned business processes.
There are trends for employees to retire earlier and for increasing mobility, leading to loss of knowledge.
There is a need to manage increasing complexity as small operating companies are transnational sourcing operations.
Creation of the culture that encourages knowledge sharing.
What are the opportunities for using the knowledge asset?
A Knowledge leader or champion -- someone to drive the Knowledge agenda and provide commitment.
Compelling vision and architecture -- framework that drives the agenda forward.

knowledge management, respondents, business, competitors, finance, budget, findings, technology, employees, store.
Knowledge management is the discipline of capturing these knowledge-based competencies, storing and disseminating them for the benefit of the organisation as a whole.
Only 2% of respondents considered knowledge management to be a fad that would soon be forgotten -- this contrasts with the results of a survey last year* in which almost a third of respondents thought knowledge management a fad.
Respondents acknowledged the cost of failing to look after their organisation's intellectual capital -- in other words, of failing to convert individual knowledge and know-how into corporate knowledge.
However, those organisations which had suffered damaged relationships with key client/supplier, were more likely, as a result, to have heard of knowledge management (48% had, 21% had not) and to have put a knowledge management initiative in place (53% against 40% whose organisations had suffered damage but not pursued a knowledge management initiative).

Design: Conceived as an anatomical enhancement of the UMLS Semantic Network and Metathesaurus, the anatomical ontology was formulated by specifying defining attributes and differentia for classes and subclasses of physical anatomical entities based on their partitive and spatial relationships.
The ontology accommodates both the systemic and regional (topographical) views of anatomy, as well as diverse clinical naming conventions of anatomical entities.
Segments of anatomical information have been incorporated as illustrative examples into knowledge representation methods (see for instance, Lucas 22), or as indispensable components of clinical applications.23-26 Of the large controlled vocabularies, SNOMED 2 includes an extensive and detailed compendium of terms in axes that relate them to anatomy.

Data mining and knowledge discovery in databases have been attracting a significant amount of research, industry, and media attention of late.
At an abstract level, the KDD field is concerned with the development of methods and techniques for making sense of data.
The KDD process can be viewed as a multidisciplinary activity that encompasses techniques beyond the scope of any one particular discipline such as machine learning.
Statistics provides a language and framework for quantifying the uncertainty that results when one tries to infer general patterns from a particular sample of an overall population.
Each point on the graph represents a person who has been given a loan by a particular bank at some time in the past.

Over the last decade, a large number of strategy exercises in developing countries have proven to be little more than rapid, top-down 'translations' of external policies --or conditionalities for receiving aid.
The World Bank's particular requirements have meant that existing 'home-grown' poverty strategies may have been revived, displaced and/or superseded by the PRSP.
The case studies have indicated how SD requires a continually updated understanding of many issues.
It is too easy to say 'this local project is good, so we'll have a hundred more of them' without understanding the particular context and enabling policy and institutional conditions.

If they are to succeed in reaching their goals, all DLF participants realize that they must act quickly to build the infrastructure and the institutional capacity to sustain digital libraries.
Essential to the successful implementation and use of any digital library is the organization of that library, either directly or indirectly, by one or more knowledge organization systems (KOS).
These gazetteers are often organized using classification schemes or subject categories.
These types of KOSs may not follow the rules for hierarchy required in the ANSI NISO Thesaurus Standard (Z39.19) (NISO 1998), and they lack the explicit relationships presented in a thesaurus.

A study group is a collection of individuals who meet regularly to improve their understanding of some non-trivial subject, like a body of great literature, by participating in dialogue.
In the landmark books, A Pattern Language and A Timeless Way of Building, Christopher Alexander and his colleagues introduced the world to the idea of a pattern language.
Seeing each other as colleagues is critical to establish a positive tone and to offset the vulnerability that dialogue brings.
It's fairly easy to start a study group.
So the best locations will let groups grow by accommodating the formation of SUBGROUPs (18), seated in INTIMATE CIRCLEs (8).

After all, if all knowledge-how is knowledge-that, then all of the necessary conditions of knowing that something is the case are necessary conditions of knowing how to perform an action, and any thorough account of knowledge-how or intelligence will contain within it or presuppose a full account of knowledge-that or the apprehension of truths.
Hannah knows that Gilbert Ryle wrote The Concept of Mind.
take-home message of Ryle's distinction to be the claim that the efficacy of explicit representations depends on what Dennett calls "tacit know-how" (217--8).

Knowledge management combines the many sources and uses of knowledge into a cohesive force, capable of significantly enhancing the way business is planned, measured, and conducted.
Measurement and reporting on the status and progress of your knowledge assets is essential to ensure senior management understands and appreciates the significance of KM's contribution to the bottom line.
The Conference Board will report the results of its knowledge management research, and the output from its Knowledge Strategy Forum.
The opening session places boundaries on Knowledge Management as an organizational and business process tool.
The Conference Board of Canada has conducted considerable research in innovation, skills, learning, and organizational effectiveness.

Abstract: The goal of the novel tool HERMA (enHanced E-learning Repository MAnager) is to improve the efficiency of the knowledge transfer process in web-based learning environments.
The mechanism enables users to improve adaptive courseware enlargement and it supports the dynamic retrieval of the content, its presentation and navigation.
HERMA places this dynamically generated background knowledge at the disposal of learners across distinct viewing modes while navigating through the courseware.
A survey of hyperlink sources in research papers has shown, that some 20-30% become invalid links within one year (Lawrence et al. 2001).
Thus, the delivery of content with embedded linkages should happen in a semantic and adaptive way.

The importance of knowledge in the present economy has brought economists and business theorists face to face with philosophers and social scientists.
The phrase "Knowledge Management" is as indefinable as the word knowledge itself, sparking lively debates and confusion about this emerging new field of management practice.
IntraKnexa is a web based knowledge exchange where knowledge workers can easily discover who knows what in the enterprise and quickly gain access to expertise to solve problems.
IntraKnexa provides a knowledge exchange and repository that uses market dynamics to stimulate the continuous push/pull flow of knowledge needed to sustain continuous knowledge sharing.
It enables employees with questions to find the internal experts with the answers they need, when they need them.

These strategies must embody and take forward the vision set by the early founders and benefactors to ensure the longevity of these institutions and ensure that they move with the times and operate as major contributors to the local, regional and national economy.
The responsibility for this lies squarely on the shoulders of those currently involved in shaping the future of the HEI's and those involved in the wider strategies for Greater Manchester.
The HEI's, as are the Greater Manchester authorities, are keen to work in partnership to take forward this new and exciting agenda.
AGMA are working closely with the other sectors such as the health sector and it is hoped that this will develop into a more formal strategic partnership.
