Further development of computerassisted radiology is associated with the use of new intelligent capabilities such as multimedia support and data mining in order to discover the relevant knowledge for diagnosis.
We use decision tree induction in order to learn the knowledge for computer-assisted image analysis.
He determined whether the whole tomogram or its part had to be processed and outlined the area of interest with overlay lines and he also outlined the nodule margins.
This heuristic search may lead to induced concepts which depend on irrelevant features, redundant, or correlated features.
We observed that a better error rate can be reached if the decision tree is only induced from a subset of features, see Table 4 and Figure 4.

For developing nations, the primary (if not the sole) purpose of knowledge
acquisition is economic development and poverty reduction.1 Unfortunately,
however, we do not have adequate understanding of the process of economic
development.
The effectiveness of any knowledge strategy depends critically on the
recognition of the distinctions between the three related dimensions
of knowledge espoused by these schools of thought.
To determine whether a country is making the best use of its limited
resources, we need information on what its resources are and how well
it is using them compared to other countries.
For example, a village in a developing country would probably benefit
more from knowing how to make a more efficient bullock cart than from
learning about Windows XP.

How do your customer support agents get to the information they need, without having to re-create or restructure your entire knowledge base solely for that purpose?
Your company has a substantial investment in information---the wealth of data about your products, customers and their needs.
But much of that information, which your customer support agents need to help your customers, is stored in unstructured formats and not readily accessible.
eGain Knowledge Gateway enables your agents and customers to find consistent, accurate answers through a wide variety of sources, including Lotus Notes and Microsoft Site Server indexes of ODBC databases, Microsoft Office documents, HTML documents, e-mail and PDF files.
It extends the intelligent searching capabilities and intuitive, conversation-driven access of eGain Knowledge to your unstructured information.

From a knowledge management perspective, 'the people' available to any organisation are seen as that organisation's 'human capital'.
The first kind of knowledge -- the kind that is easy to articulate and share with others - is known as explicit knowledge.
The second kind, the kind you know but don't know how to express, is known as tacit knowledge.
It is because learning occurs at moments like these that organisations need to create as many opportunities as practical for staff to achieve this kind of 'peer-to-peer' exchange.
As such, the 'watercooler' approach to knowledge management not only provides a soft entry option but also the natural starting point for the knowledge management programme.

First Postulate: The production and reproduction of the structures of knowledge has been a process constitutive of and constituted by the Modern World-System.
The result was the institutionalization of a set of disciplines, the social sciences, which would function to guarantee ordered change in the name of "progress" 789 Richard E. Lee
I have stated previously (Lee 1998b) that the combination of freedom and reason C. Wright Mills conceived as persuasion, today all too often taking the form of a pluralism blind to relations of power and privilege, no longer seems to adequately express the ethical imperative on the part of the individual social scientist to actively participate in the struggle Wallerstein envisions.
knowledge
students, peace, prophet, scholars, Allah, hadîth, sunnah, opinion, Muslims, Islam.
It is the duty of the scholars to embrace these students, teach them, guide them, and honor them.
One of the first things that a student of religious knowledge needs to know is how to go about the task of seeking knowledge.
Many students do this out of their love for debate and their desire to participate with others in the exchange of ideas.
If he gets into a dispute, he acts sinfully."4 Some people take this hadîth on its face value and ignore all the other texts dealing with hypocrisy.
These arguments show us that the opinion of the majority of the scholars is not due to their pointedly ignoring the hadîth, as some hasty students today are wont to believe.

For more information about our publications, or to subscribe to Knowledge Management Review contact vicky.burch@melcrum.com Balancing knowledge and capability -- and recognizing the distinction between the two -- is vital to successful knowledge management.
In this article, Ed Vail shows how the right blend of skills, tools and competencies, applied appropriately, can create business value.
This is shown in Figure 1, "Business value creation," where the "O" indicates that the gap decreases as effective action increases.
The components of competency are the different forms of intelligence1 and skill, which in turn are a combination of experience and task knowledge.
The only element missing from this mix is learning.

It is our intention within this paper to put forward for debate an innovative educational method which is particularly appropriate for management development.
We are experienced management developers; we have designed and managed large postgraduate management programmes -- particularly MBA's; our backgrounds have been in learning theory and philosophy and management information systems; we have written widely on the nature of learning and IT, and the management of such processes.

Knowledge or Learning
learning, practice, knowledge management, technology, support, creation, business, communities, sharing, core question.
Knowledge management and organizational learning are really two sides of a core question of how do knowledge and learning contribute to value creation and generate wealth for organizations and for the economy at large.
Many people steeped in learning organization practice are a bit confused by the sudden enthusiasm for knowledge management and may even feel that it is a wrong direction.
Along with that, skillfully employing technology to sustain and share the core knowledge resource of the enterprise is invaluable.
What I see in companies that are successfully leveraging knowledge are technologies astutely employed to support work groups and communities.
View - Education the Knowledge Professions
education, knowledge professions, knowledge manager, knowledge worker, knowledge engineer, knowledge scientists, practicing, spectrum, specialists, teaching.
These are the basic conditions of a competitive education market.
While there are some things that almost anyone in the knowledge professions should know, there is also a considerable amount that pertains far more to one role than to another.
The same is true for the knowledge manager, knowledge engineer, knowledge scientist, and the knowledge worker.
To understand the dynamics involved, let's start by drawing a line (one of many that could be drawn), placing the knowledge scientist on one end, and the average knowledge worker working in the office of your average company on the other.
What it does mean is that they need to work in concert with one another to offer the full spectrum of educational opportunities required by the knowledge professions.

Knowledge management in enterprises often reduces to the application of a single data base with technical or personal data in order to produce some useful information for a certain task.
A generic architecture will be presented which is based on the semiotic paradigm of information theory.
The architecture will be the kernel the metaphorical description of a knowledge factory an may be enhanced with a collection of helpful software agents.
While the two scenarios demonstrate how existing system architectures may be easily generated from the entire knowledge factory model it will be shown in the following that the model serves also well in a scenario with distributed functionality.
A generic architecture for knowledge management has been presented.

Abstract: This paper describes the development of the African Web Page (AWP), a website devoted to water resources issues affecting Africa.
The goals, missions, and content of the website are discussed, as well as the challenged that Internet use poses for the African continent where poverty mitigates against these technologies.
There have been several requests from organisations within the sector for the African Water Page to publicise an issue through the list or to solicit specific information for a sector related research project or survey.
One is a matter of time at the disposal of the author and the other is that the author spends a great deal of time travelling in Africa where Internet access is often very difficult.
