The Cogito Engine can acquire knowledge for use in its Knowledge Center from the information stored in many common industrial archives.
As the Cogito Engine acquires knowledge from enterprise databases, it automatically validates it, actually improving its integrity in the transition.
Links to external documents are stored in the appropriate Cogito nodes, from which the Engine will quickly access the documents, discover new knowledge, and replicate that knowledge in nodes and networks within the Knowledge Center.
The Cogito Engine reads PLC code in existing systems, replicates it in the Knowledge Center, and then displays it on demand in the appropriate logic diagrams.
The Engine monitors design development and refinement, assuring that all additions and modifications fall within specifications, and that they will instantly appear in all views of the affected subsystem.

"Monsanto's knowledge editor" -- the what and why of Monsanto's recent job announcement for a knowledge editor and a knowledge consultant.
"Knowledge Base Editor Roundtable" --summary of roundtable discussion held in Dallas February, 1998.
The Internet is a key tool in these endeavors because it is a global networking standard, capable of linking both internal and external information on different brands of computers.
The real issue is the need for a new role which combines the functions of database administrator, reference librarian, journalist, and project manager.
· Monsanto recently advertised for a "knowledge editor" -- a librarian responsible for identifying, classifying, organizing, and summarizing information relevant to the firm's business objectives.

Innovators can compensate in their education by choosing narrower expertise,
but narrowing expertise will reduce their individual capaci ties, with
implications for the organization of innovative activity --- a greater
reliance on teamwork --- and negative implications for growth.
At the sa me time, this literatur e has highlighted the critical role
of assumptions regarding the " knowledge production function",
which de fines how e ort in R&D is mapped into productivity enhancements.
X(t) is the productivity level of firm j,whereX(t) is the leading edge
of productivity in the economy, which can be achieved by any firm with
access to the entire set of productive ideas that have been produced
by the innovative sector.
At birth, an individual decides whether to become a wage worker or an
innovator.

We believe in sharing intellectual property freely, but also in giving credit to its creators.
People responsible for knowledge value creation can be inspired and supported, but they cannot be "managed" as people were managed in the industrial era, as mere extensions of the machinery.
Organizations obsessed with extracting and measuring knowledge, will not have much to measure unless they shift the focus of their knowledge initiatives to developing an open culture of communication and collaboration that is supportive to the sharing of innovative work and business practices.
If you are a CIO, Chief Knowledge Officer, or Chief Learning Officer, the "triple network" or "CAS" lens may be more useful.

This tacit knowledge is shared through formal and non-formal networks which bond and motivate people within the organization.
Karen Stephenson goes at the importance of trust in the creation of such networks and explains why managers must harness the power of networks to efficiently guide innovation and change.
These connections, or networks, of trust are the veins of a natural resource of knowledge, a honeycomb of collective consciousness which is mined for hidden sources of innovation.
If networks are natural, hierarchies are cultural.
These direct reports in turn have multiple direct reports to them and so on, as this selfreplicating pattern cascades down the hierarchy.

The initiative Semantic Web and the ISO standard Topic Maps define how semantics can be attached to arbitrary documents in the WWW without changing the documents itself.
It will be discussed what happens when knowledge exchange takes place.
It will be shown how knowledge ports can be used to establish location based information services.
In this paper we have discussed how knowledge management, mobile communication networks and a more intelligent Internet can change our communication structures.
An extension of Topic Maps and Semantic Web has been introduced, called knowledge ports.
Knowledge ports make it possible to manage knowledge exchange (spontaneous and location based) on a semantic level.

Many programs designate networks of sites for nature reserves, some of which are designated for scientific research, education, and environmental monitoring (e.g., Long-Term Ecological Research, Man and the Biosphere, Research Natural Areas, National Estuarine Research Reserves, and universities).
In planning for a new University of California (UC) campus near Merced, the UC Office of the President is considering establishing one or more additional NRS research and teaching reserves in the neighboring Sierra Nevada or the San Joaquin Valley.
In Stage 3 the NRS guidelines were interpreted into a logic network that was similar to Stages 1 and 2, starting with the three primary criteria of scientific and administrative suitability.

The extent to which knowledge transformation within and between tacit and explicit forms can be supported by the technologies is discussed, and some likely future trends are identified.
Through surveying some of the technologies used for knowledge management, this paper serves as an introduction to the subject for those papers in this issue that discuss technology.
Groupware might be thought to mainly facilitate the combination process, i.e., sharing of explicit knowledge.
However, the selection and discussion of the explicit knowledge to some degree constitutes a shared experience.
Manually assigning documents to the categories in a taxonomy requires signi ficant effort and cost, but in recent years automatic document classi fication has advanced to the point where the accuracy of the bestperforming algorithms exceeds 85 percent (F1 measure) on good quality data.

graph, concept type, engineer, ontology, initiate, Extractor, terminates, hierarchy, knowledge base, knowledge capture.
The methodology assumed here for knowledge-base development is to begin with a relatively small, basic ontology and extract conceptual graphs from text in the domain of interest.
A number of tasks in this process should be performed by a tool, so the engineer can focus on the difficult tasks of mapping expressions in the source text to concepts, linking concepts by relations, adding new concept types and relation definitions as needed.
To begin, the engineer will select a sentence word (token) which will generate the concept at which the graph is rooted.
Specification of a concept type then invokes the list of relations which can have that concept type as its source or target, so the engineer can select the appropriate relation.

Data, information, best practice and know-how are the assets of a modern organisation.They increase competitiveness, sustain innovation, and maintain the quality of products and services.
Knowledge management is also an issue in the exploitation of Earth Observation (EO) data, which have been acquired by a variety of instruments flown on board satellites, and the products and services derived from them by facilities of the corresponding ground segments.
Navigational System (Eknos), has demonstrated the viability of the chosen approach.
The architecture of K@Work implements a three-tier model, which separates the user interface (any web browser) from the web and application server and from the object oriented knowledge database.

The January 2001 Speech from the Throne recognized that no one government or organization can build a skilled workforce on its own.
· By 2004, more than 70 percent of all new jobs created in Canada will require some form of post-secondary education and only 6 percent of new jobs will be held by those who have not finished high school.
The Government will consider actions in a number of areas to help Canadians pursue learning opportunities and realize their aspirations, and increase our supply of labour.
To ensure that Canada continues to attract the highly skilled immigrants it needs and helps them to achieve their full potential in Canadian society and the labour market.

The World Wide Web provides a valuable infrastructure for enabling researchers to share the rapidly growing knowledge about biology and medicine, and a fully functional Semantic Web is necessary to support data submission and retrieval, the sharing of knowledge, and interoperation of related resources.
We are working with scientists from multiple medical research centers to build a pharmacogenetics knowledge base that is publicly accessible on the Web, called PharmGKB (http://www.pharmgkb.org).
PharmGKB contains an ontology comprised of clinical, pharmacologic, and biological knowledge.
After a user enters data through Web forms, the PharmGKB system automatically generates XML files from the data entered.

Upon completion of approved teacher preparation programs at Colorado institutions of higher education, teacher candidates will be able to demonstrate the knowledge and skills in Standard Seven.
The mere ability to operate various hardware and software will not constitute an acceptable level of proficiency.
Assessments strategies may include, but will not be limited to, evaluating teacher candidates' ability to: develop mock lessons in their primary content areas which effectively integrate technology for presentation to their peers; design mini-lessons which incorporate technology to be taught to small groups of students; analyze student achievement data using spreadsheets and other electronic tools; and integrate technology into the instruction of students in content specific, standards-based curricula during student teaching and other field experiences.
