This article presents two approaches for automated building of knowledge bases of soil resources mapping. These methods used decision tree and Bayesian predictive modeling, respectively to generate knowledge from training data. With these methods, building a knowledge base for automated soil mapping is easier than using the conventional knowledge acquisition approach. The knowledge bases built ...

Conceptual design knowledge concerning with functions of products and phenomena unintended by designers is scattered around various forms such as the functional model and the FMEA sheet, which are dependent on engineering tasks. Aiming to promote sharing of such knowledge among designers, this paper proposes a knowledge transformation system from extended functional models to FMEA sheets based ...

One of the most popular techniques for identifying knowledge in organizations is knowledge mapping. It can help decision makers to better understand the knowledge flow within the organizations. Mapping organizations knowledge, especially in research institutes, has attracted much attention from senior managements in recent years. Libraries, among the most important parts of research institutes,...

One of the major problems of knowledge mapping tools is rather static content or its slow generation. Our main objective is to provide a visualization of personal knowledge network as a part of knowledge mapping framework together with capturing of academic knowledge assets. We are going to use the Topic Map-based ontology and use its main advantages. Among its greatest positive features is tha...

Clinical decision-making can be improved if healthcare practitioners are able to leverage both the tacit and explicit modalities of healthcare knowledge, yet at present there do not exist knowledge management systems that support any active and direct mapping between these two knowledge modalities. In this paper, we present a healthcare knowledge-mapping framework that maps (a) the tacit knowle...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate students’ perception of concept maps as a learning tool where knowledge transfer is the goal. This article includes an evaluation of the learning performance of 42 undergraduate students enrolled in a nanotech course at a university in Taiwan. Canonical correlation and MANOVA analyses were employed to examine if students’ perceptions toward concept ma...

Ontology-based knowledge management systems enable the automatic discovery, sharing and reuse of structured data sources on the semantic web. With the emergence of multilingual ontologies, accessing knowledge across natural language barriers has become a pressing issue for the multilingual semantic web. In this paper, a semantic-oriented cross-lingual ontology mapping (SOCOM) framework is propo...

The design of a user interface can be considered an information mapping task. The task consists in mapping (a) information from the task domain of the artefact being designed as well as other relevant constraints on the design process, onto (b) a set of input/output modalities which, when fully specified, will constitute the user interface of the artefact. Interface designers thus essentially s...
