· What is the business case for language technologies?
In the enterprise, employee time is wasted in inefficient search; and problems of navigation prevent adoption of knowledge management systems by users.
Existing search and knowledge management approaches have not solved these problems, and in many organisations information and knowledge sharing systems, such as B2E portals and intranets lie underused or unused.

I would like to stress that these are initial findings of some of the
issues currently on the agenda in Knowledge Management.
In showing the overall possibilities to transfer knowledge, the figure
below points to the realm where knowledge management initiatives meet
the greatest challenge.
What we generally have not seen, even in the most progressive situations,
is an integrated approach to knowledge and skills management that co-ordinates
the knowledge generation and distribution within organisational learning
initiatives, with the knowledge and skill enablement within individual
learning initiatives.
One reason for this lack of integration may be that the knowledge management
initiatives have come from IT oriented bodies and most individual learning
initiatives have come from Human Resources organisations.

Protocols such as Bluetooth and W-LAN facilitate a peer to peer exchange of arbitrary information in ad hoc networks where communication links may be created temporarily in a spontaneous manner.
On the other hand, standards like Topic Maps and Semantic Web gain acceptance that add semantics to Internet documents.
In order to handle these knowledge management tasks, Shark is based on a new concept, called knowledge ports.
We present a prototype implementation of the system using Topic Maps (XTM 1.0) to organize, SyncML to synchronize and KQML to exchange knowledge.
Therefore the mobile component of Shark is called Shark Mobile Station.

Some would argue that the solution for such states is to become technology followers and attempt to copy, imitate, or import necessary knowledge to meet necessary social and economic goals1.
Knowledge and learning capacities have to be built up and maintained in countries that currently lack a minimum, critical mass of resources.
The countries that fit this classification fall below the international mean for all components of a scientific and technological capacity index that includes GNP, number of scientists and engineers, number of S&T articles and patents, percentage of GNP spent on R&D, number of universities and research institutions.
This competition requests concept note applications in the following areas (not mutually exclusive).

The processes are studied in isolation and subjects (sic) are asked to perform a specific task, without any distractions or aids at hand.
In contrast, the cognition that happens during humancomputer interaction is much more 'messy', whereby many interdependent processes are involved for any given activity.
Don Norman's (1999) reaction to a recent CHI-Web discussion.
Furthermore, in its borrowed form, the concept of affordance has often been interpreted in a design context as suggesting that one should try to emulate real-world objects at the interface -- which is clearly a far cry from Gibson's ideas and is highly questionable.
A main objective for developing hybrid and overarching frameworks is to provide a more extensive, interdisciplinary set of concepts, from which to think about the design and use of interactive systems.

e-KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AS AN ENABLER OF e-GOVERNMENT DATES: Check with us for upcoming seminar dates LOCATION: Downtown Toronto, Ontario.
In the knowledge management field, there is a major paradigm shift occurring.
While transformation to the new thinking and perfecting the enabling technology may take some time, nevertheless the signs are everywhere that the future of knowledge intellectual property, intellectual capital, human capital, social capital, learning and intangible assets, is intimately associated with the growth and development and use of the e-knowledge marketplace.
The new thinking and new platform accepts that reality as a fundamental fact of life, and creates an on-line virtual community environment - the e-knowledge market - where people will have a greater ability, reason, and incentive to want to share and exchange knowledge.
Bryan Davis is Founder and President Of The Kaieteur Institute For Knowledge Management in Toronto.

The problem is that technology by itself often doesn't solve a company's inherent problems with intellectual capital, knowledge and information management.
Here, Pamela Holloway, a knowledge management practitioner and frequent speaker at KM events, suggests seven strategies for getting people to open up and share what they know.
Most reward systems still reward individual effort and knowledge.
If we want to create a culture that supports knowledge creation, sharing and re-use, we must reward those behaviors.
Reward valuable knowledge One of the mistakes we often make in knowledge management is leading people to believe that simply contributing knowledge or information is enough, and sometimes even worthy of reward.
Sharing best practices is popular these days, but what about sharing worst practices or lessons learned?

According to many philosophers, psychological explanation can legitimately be given in terms of belief and desire, but not in terms of knowledge.
Timothy Williamson has recently argued against this view.
Let be a case in which tigers inhabit the jungle while schmigers inhabit the mountains; one remembers one's encounters with tigers in the jungle but totally forgets one's encounters with schmigers in the mountains.
It does seem that is internally like -- in both cases one stands in the same relevant computationally individuated relation to a (narrowly individuated) mental representation of the same type; to use a familiar metaphor that Williamson adopts for vividness, we may say that in both and one's belief box contains a token of the same (narrowly individuated) Mentalese expression type.

This enables sophisticated automatic support for acquiring, maintaining, and accessing information.
Improving access to information sources is the first main goal of the On-To-Knowledge.
2. The Information Provider: Providing and maintaining large bodies of textual and semistructured information sources with current techniques is a labour-intensive and costly activity.
Acquiring: Text mining and extraction techniques are applied to extract semantic information from textual information (i.e., to acquire information).
The intermediate level (the representation level) uses this meta-information to provide automatic access, creation, and maintenance of these information sources.
They are our key asset in automating query answering, maintenance, and automatic document generation.

One of the ways to achieve this is through tacit knowledge exchanges in the form of sharing and transfer of knowledge by means of narratives, storytelling, reminders, best practices etc.
These Communities of Practice (CoPs) are informally created, evolve over time, and socially bind people together that share the same interests and passions.
The Web may be applied in new, innovative ways to draw dispersed community members together virtually and in particular, to promote tacit knowledge exchanges.
Within CoPs the use of Internet-based discussion and news groups (e.g. Usenet groups, Newsgroups, listservs) are popular forums for exchanging questions and ideas.
The style of this communication environment encourages both positive and negative communication in an open environment.

Malaysia is scheduled to develop into a knowledge society.
In the words of Dr. Mahathir: "In our pursuit towards developing the K-economy, knowledge has to replace labour and capital as the key factors of production in our economy.
The Silicon valley in California, the Munich electronic belt in Germany, the Hsinchu region of Taiwan or possibly, in the near future, the MSC in Malaysia are examples to illustrate this point.
Though it appears to be an established fact by now, that knowledge is a major factor of production, it is extremely difficult to estimate the contribution of knowledge to economic growth.

It needs to use a wide and expanding variety of media to communicate the results of its work to its clients and the public.
It also needs to preserve information from its work for the long-term and to share knowledge among its staff and with others so that it can improve service to its clients, the executive branch, taxpayers, and other governments, both domestic (state and local) and international.
Over the past few years, GAO's use of Web-based technology to do work, communicate with others, and exchange information and products has dramatically increased.
In 1996, GAO developed a knowledge management database on audit engagements that was an early attempt to collect, use, distribute, and retain organizational knowledge.

It is subject to change without notice and may not be referred to as an International Standard.
The Knowledge Interchange Format (KIF) is a computer-oriented language for the interchange of knowledge among disparate programs.
First, there are the basic characters of the language.
A KIF module is a set of sentences.
The basis for the semantics of KIF is a conceptualization of the world in terms of objects and relations among those objects.
Rather than use the extension function in the definition of structure, there is an alternative semantics for KIF-Core that uses the interpretation function of conventional first-order logic ([2], [3]).
