The paper presents a scheme for categorizing knowledge engineering tools. The classification of knowledge acquisition systems has revealed some interesting facts about these systems. It seems that systems which are able to work on multiple tasks produce very shallow (i.e., not of expert-level) knowledge bases. On the other hand, systems which produce expert-level knowledge bases function on a s...

Organizational knowledge creation theory explains the process of making available and amplifying knowledge created by individuals as well as crystallizing and connecting it to an organization’s knowledge system. What individuals get to know in their (working) lives benefits their colleagues and, eventually, the wider organization. In this article, we briefly review central elements in organizat...

A major step in building guideline-based clinical care systems is encoding medical knowledge in guideline documents for interpretation by the computer. Guideline models provide the structure to encapsulate guideline knowledge. Developers who are familiar with the guideline model and domain experts who have relevant medical knowledge work as a team to encode guidelines using knowledge acquisitio...

This paper explores the issue of using knowledge management as an instrument for the development and sustainability of this knowledge society. The paper attempts to achieve its purpose through four main integrated steps: providing a brief review of knowledge management and the knowledge so...

In this paper, we propose a concept of knowledge management “Knowledge Liquidization and Crystallization”, and a system “Knowledge Nebula Crystallizer” to support the process. “Exhibition designing” was chosen as an application of our methodology to a real work place in cooperation with a Japanese advertising company, as it is an example of the tasks that highly depend on implicit knowledge of ...

this paper aims at designing a path for the creation and preservation of learning organization through knowledge management process. knowledge management process includes knowledge creation, knowledge documentation, knowledge dissemination, and knowledge application elements. the basic idea of this paper is that documentation step (including knowledge storing, valuation, coding and classificati...
