Gartner estimates that by 2002, knowledge work will characterize the majority of jobs in a great number of industries -- with more than 50 percent of job activities based on the events and knowledge at hand.
According to a recent article in Infoworld, "Corporate Intranets and EIPs (enterprise information portals) have helped many organizations get a grasp on their corporate information.
WebSpace truly enables today's knowledge worker to "work the way s/he thinks," not forcing them to work where information may be stored or be constrained because of its type or structure.
With WebSpace, the marketing team's turnaround time is dramatically reduced, allowing them to respond quickly and effectively to this real-time threat.

Due to this research, healthcare systems have an increased interest in recycling knowledge acquired from previous best practices.
Professionals from the Knowledge Management and Knowledge Engineering domains had attempted to bring together different methodologies for knowledge recycling.
The focus of KE practitioners has been to put emphasis on codified knowledge (ie. to discover new ways of effectively representing healthcare related information).
Practitioners from KM have concentrated on macro/policy aspects on how healthcare-related information can best be disseminated to support knowledge recycling and creation of new knowledge.
This issue will assemble original and innovative contributions in the area of KM and KE applications for healthcare systems and clinical engineering applications.

Increasing fiber in your diet is very important to you.
Which of these muffins would you choose to maximize your fiber intake:
The oat bran muffins OR the honey wheat muffins?
Increasing fiber in your diet is very important to you.
Note: To compare fiber, look at the Nutrition Facts panel and compare
the % Daily Value of Dietary Fiber on each package.
the whole container of low fat cherry yogurt?
Note: Compare what you actually eat with the amount listed on the label.
To stay healthy, you want to limit the TOTAL amount of saturated fat
you eat during the day.

The Internet galaxy: reflections on the Internet, business and society.
Others argue that you can find what you need on the Internet provided that you look for long enough -- wrong again!
What of course it does mean is that Libraries must re-think and re-conceptualise their roles around the Internet, around a much better understanding of their key stakeholders and client groups, and really face up to the tough question of where do libraries and particularly librarians add real value to the customer.

As part of Project Quorum, we are developing a system (provisionally called Pangea) to empower students to collaborate in the construction and sharing of models of their beliefs about specific domains.
Concept maps, developed in an educational setting by Novak (1977), are used as the primary language for description and communication of concepts within assimilation theory, a cognitive learning theory that has had extensive application to education (Ausubel, Novak & Hanesian, 1978).
If Juan has previously claimed that 'fish have wings,' and Marta claims that 'fish can-be edible,' then the system might notice the connection, tentatively draw a (false) conclusion, and ask her if anything with wings can be edible.

The ability of firms to marshal and deploy expertise is one of the few sources of sustainable competitive advantage.
As a result, there is increasing acknowledgement in both the popular business press and in the scholarly literature of the importance of Knowledge Management in organizations.
Despite considerable research on this topic from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, there is a clear sense that there are currently many unresolved issues, challenges, and opportunities in this area with important implications for both research and practice.
Manuscripts must be electronically submitted to the Guest Editors of the special issue no later than July 1, 2003.

Most existing web data resources organize their information either in structured flat files or relational databases with basic retrieval capabilities.
In this paper, we describe the translation of the online immunological database MHCPEP into an OWEB system called MHCWeb.
We define a "knowledge base" as a data store that involves three types of meta-information, or information about the structure of information.
First, a hierarchical taxonomy of concepts in the domain of discourse.

Driven by the modern Internet culture and by knowledge-based industries, the study of knowledge acquisition has a renewed importance.
Although there has been considerable work in the area of knowledge capture, activities have been distributed across several distinct research communities.
This conference will promote multidisciplinary research that could result in a new generation of tools and methodologies for knowledge capture.
The text within each page should fit within 18 X 23.5 cm (7" X 9.25"), layed out in two columns and printed in 10-point Times Roman font.

TSLs are a generalization of both semantic networks and frames.
He stated that classification has been overrated and questioned (as did Ramesh Patil) the point of complete inferences that require limited expressiveness.
Loom features the ability to revise both terminological and assertional knowledge.
In the session on hybrid architectures, moderated by Nicola Guarino of LADSEB-CNR, Padova, Italy, discussion concentrated on a conceptual characterization of the differences between terminological knowledge, which has to do with terminology, and assertional knowledge, which has to do with assertions, rather than on a distinction between different formalisms.
The purpose of this session was to establish directions for the future development and use of terminological knowledge representation systems.

ontology, extraction, artists, Artequakt, biography, paragraphs, annotations, query, paintings, templates.
An overview of the system architecture is presented and the three key components of that architecture are explained in detail, namely knowledge extraction, information management and biography construction.
Manual annotation is impractical and unscalable, while automatic annotation tools are still in their infancy.
Hence specialised knowledge services may require tools able to search and extract specific knowledge directly from unstructured text on the Web, guided by an ontology that details what type of knowledge to harvest.
Manual ontology population is very labour intensive and time consuming.
The Artequakt project is dealing with many challenging issues related to ontology population and maintenance, knowledge extraction, and the generation of personalised artist biographies.

Scaleable across all levels of the organization, The author's transformational approach to Knowledge Management includes two major tools that enable project managers to improve project integration, formulate better scope and staffing decisions, improve communications, and more readily understand and manage project risks.
These tools, Knowledge Flow Analysis and Alignment Analysis, enable project managers to gain new insights into how knowledge is created, retained, transferred and used within their projects.
The understanding of how that knowledge becomes available to the people who are doing the work is just as important as how raw materials, parts, and assemblies flow through a factory.

The second objective was to explore how certain environmental attributes facilitate or hinder knowledge transfer among different organizations operating in the same environment.
A simulation model based on constructural theory (Carley, 1990, 1991) was implemented.
The general characteristics of the environment are defined by two attributes: uncertainty and competitiveness.
In addition, there is a collection of organizations with relationships among them, a representation of labor resources, and patents and articles repositories.
The results showed no significant effects of location importance, of the number of clusters of organizations in the environment, and no location importance X number of clusters interaction effects on any of the measures.

The possible worlds model (over 40 years old!): Besides the actual state of a airs, an agent considers a number of other states of a airs to be possible.
A protocol is described by a set of runs: each one describes what one possible execution of the protocol.
The coordinated attack problem Each time the messenger makes it, the level of knowledge rises.
Corollary: Any protocol that guarantees that if one of the generals attacks, then the other does so at the same time, is a protocol where necessarily neither general attacks.
We can easily show that common knowledge is also not attainable if communication is guaranteed, but there is no upper bound on message delivery time.
