Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) such as electronic knowledge repositories (EKR) have brought substantial changes to the way organizations leverage their knowledge resources. Despite the importance of KMS, organizations are faced with a challenge to realize the benefits of KMS. One challenging issue that has not been extensively investigated by prior KMS studies is the factors that drive empl...

The paper presents research and development accomplishments achieved so far during work on a Knowledge Management Subsystem (KMS) for a e-health system called PIPS. The paper presents the Semantic Tools layer of KMS, and concentrates particularly on the PIPS Knowledge Inference Engine (KIE). The following issues are discussed: an analysis of freely available knowledge processors, conformance to...

Knowledge management (KM) has evolved from different disciplines and can be observed from various perspectives. The most important KM perspectives are personal communication and information technology (IT). Most IT companies have renamed their groupware and business intelligence products to fit the KM concept and to further develop them as knowledge management systems (KMS). In fact, they devel...

In order to solve domain equations over 1-bounded compact metric spaces, xed points of functors on categories of 1-bounded compact metric spaces are studied. Two categories of 1-bounded compact metric spaces are considered: KMS and KMS E. In both categories, objects are isomorphic if and only if they are isometric. As a consequence, provided that the operation of a domain equation can be extend...

Organizations are increasingly adopting Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) to realize firm and operational level benefits. Many KMS fail to yield desired outcomes due to the lack of understanding of the antecedents of successful KMS. Prior studies have established organizational culture as a key antecedent of successful KM. This study investigates the relationship between KMS effectiveness, in ...

Knowledge management systems (KMS) are increasingly becoming popular and important in managing organizational knowledge. This motivates a closer inspection of the degree of usability of various types of KMS. This paper is an analysis of KMS from a philosophical angle: with the help of veritistic social epistemology we analyze which KMS are likely to be used more in comparison to others. Veritis...
