Knowledge Organization for Exploration

چکیده
To support applications, such as efficient browsing in large knowledge bases and cooperative knowledge discovery in large databases, the concept of rule similarity is essential. In this paper we define such a measure, called distance, and then put in the service of various knowledge exploration processes. Rule distances allow us to place all the available knowledge on a “map”, in which proximity reflects similarity. Users can then browse in the knowledge, by iteratively visiting rules and examining their neighborhoods. In our cooperative knowledge discovery process, users suggest a hypothetical rule that has been observed. If the hypothesis is verified, the system may suggest other, even better, rules that hold; if refuted, the system attempts to focus the hypothesis until it holds; in either case, the system may offer other rules that hold and are close to the hypothesis. Our work is within the formal framework of logic databases, and we report on an experimental system that implements our approach.

Exploration, Exploitation, and Knowledge Management Strategies in Multi-Tier Hierarchical Organizations Experiencing Environmental Turbulence
James G. March conceived organizational learning as a balance between the exploration of new alternatives and the exploitation of existing competencies. This study extends March’s model to consider exploration and exploitation in hierarchical organizations. First, the effect of additional tiers is analyzed and related to March’s original constructs. Second, the study evaluates additional effect...
متن کاملManaging and Organizing Concurrent Knowledge Exploration and Exploitation
Both in theory and in practice insight is limited about how firms in dynamic environments could organize to manage concurrently the strategic processes of exploring new knowledge and exploiting existing knowledge. To contribute to this issue, a conceptual framework is developed which considers the ability to exchange knowledge across organization-units within a firm as a prerequisite to achieve...
متن کاملExtending March's Exploration and Exploitation: Managing Knowledge in Turbulent Environments
We extend March’s model of exploration and exploitation to consider how environmental turbulence impacts organizational knowledge in hierarchies of varying size and depth. We then evaluate additional effects of a knowledge management (KM) system that collects and shares knowledge from expert individuals in an organization. We find that in the absence of personnel turnover, a management strategy...
متن کاملImpact of implementing knowledge management project on organizational culture: case study in a medical university
Organizational culture has a significant influence on the success of organizations. Culture determines the kinds of responses that the organization makes to required changes and will make to new problems. It can help predict how well the organization will deal with change. One of these changes is a knowledge management project. Knowledge is viewed as a driver in the definition and development o...
متن کاملComparison of various knowledge-driven and logistic-based mineral prospectivity methods to generate Cu and Au exploration targets Case study: Feyz-Abad area (North of Lut block, NE Iran)
Motivated by the recent successful results of using GIS modeling in a variety of problems related to the geosciences, some knowledge-based methods were applied to a regional scale mapping of the mineral potential, special for Cu-Au mineralization in the Feyz-Abad area located in the NE of Iran. Mineral Prospectivity Mapping (MPM) is a multi-step process that ranks a promising target area for mo...
متن کاملA clustering approach for mineral potential mapping: A deposit-scale porphyry copper exploration targeting
This work describes a knowledge-guided clustering approach for mineral potential mapping (MPM), by which the optimum number of clusters is derived form a knowledge-driven methodology through a concentration-area (C-A) multifractal analysis. To implement the proposed approach, a case study at the North Narbaghi region in the Saveh, Markazi province of Iran, was investigated to discover porphyry ...
