Knowledge management (KM) is a dominant theme in the behaviour of contemporary organisations. While KM has been extensively studied in developed economies, it is much less well understood in developing economies, notably those that are characterised by different social and cultural traditions to the mainstream of Western societies. This is notably the case in China. In this paper, we develop an...

One major goal of Mathematical Knowledge Management is building extensive repositories, in which the mathematical knowledge has been verified. It appears, however, that maintaining such a repository is as hard as building it – especially for an open collection with a large number of contributors. In this paper we argue that even careful reviewing of contributions cannot cope with the task of ke...

This paper presents a knowledge evaluation and evolution in a knowledge management system by using a Semantic Wiki approach. The authors describe a Semantic Wiki called WikiDesign which is a component of a Knowledge Management system. Currently WikiDesign is used in engineering departments of companies to emphasize technical knowledge. This study explains how WikiDesign ensures the reliability ...

What is mathematical knowledge and how can it be managed? There are not only differing views around on the management aspect but there is no real clarity or consensus on what mathematical knowledge is; indeed there are questions as to what knowledge is and what mathematics is. For the sake of definiteness I will adopt a particular stance from which to work, namely that aspect of organizing the ...

We will present in this paper how to ensure a knowledge evaluation and evolution in a knowledge management system by using a Semantic Wiki approach. We describe a Semantic Wiki called WikiDesign which is a component of a Knowledge Management system. Currently WikiDesign is use in engineering department of companies to emphasize technical knowledge. In this paper, we will explain how WikiDesign ...

Math-aware fine-grain search is expected to be widely available. A key question is what roles it can play in mathematics. It will be argued that, besides finding information, math search can help advance and manage mathematical knowledge. This paper will present the short-term goals and state of the art of math-aware fine-grain search. Afterwards, it will focus on how math search can help advan...

We describe tools available and planned in the Theorema system for supporting the key issues of mathematical knowledge management: mathematical knowledge retrieval, mathematical knowledge composition, and the formal training of the users and creators of mathematical knowledge.

This short reflection paper is addressing the challenges of using SocialWare for personal knowledge management (PKM). Starting point is a critical discussion of the constitutive terms and concepts of PKM and SocialWare. This paper argues for a clear distinction between data, information and knowledge and presents some lessons learned from following this distinction.

Knowledge management is more and more happening in social environments, supported by social software. This directly changes the way knowledge workers interact and the way information and communication technology is used. Recent studies, striving to provide a more appropriate support for knowledge work, face challenges when eliciting knowledge from user activities and maintaining its situatednes...
