conclusions this study revealed the main components of knowledge storage. an enhanced preservation of explicit knowledge is recommended in the nursing educational system so that in the future, students and educators can easily access the same knowledge from storage sources and not from individuals who might be carrying only a single experience of the subject. results data analysis showed that n...

The base of Semantic Web specifications is Resource Description Framework (RDF) as a standard for expressing metadata. RDF has a simple object model, allowing for easy design of knowledge bases. This implies that the size of knowledge bases can dramatically increase; therefore, it is necessary to take into account both scalability and space consumption when storing such bases. Some theoretical ...

Knowledge Placement & Management in wireless sensor networks has been a research area in recent years. Many existing Sensor Knowledge Management Systems view sensor data as a continuous stream that is sensed, filtered, processed, and aggregated as it “flows” from sensors to users. We argue that the Knowledge Management infrastructure will need substantial redesign to fully exploit the presence ...

Modern technologies of Semantic Web, the growing complexity of information systems, the needs of knowledge bases and smart Web agents require conceptual models to gain an improved form of semantic knowledge models – i.e. ontology. Currently, the main technique of storing ontology is based on files containing descriptions of ontology in RDF/RDFS or OWL. On the other hand, the relational database...

In this chapter knowledge management is considered from a process-oriented point of view, instead of a resource point of view. Managing knowledge is therefore something more than collecting, storing, ordering and disseminating information and documents: it regards all the processes through which human beings create new (tacit and/or explicit) knowledge transforming the existing (tacit and/or ex...
