Knowledge Refinement Effectiveness
نویسنده
چکیده
Electronic knowledge repositories represent one of the fundamental tools for knowledge management (KM) initiatives. This research examines organizational and dyadic factors that determine the effectiveness of knowledge refinement, the process of evaluating, analyzing and optimizing the knowledge object to be stored in a repository. A survey study with a matched-triad design was conducted with 318 authors, validators and users of a global knowledge repository system. Results revealed that perceived procedural justice, expertise gap, communication frequency, and shared understanding significantly influenced the quality of refined knowledge, while perceived procedural justice also positively influenced the quality of initial knowledge contributions. These findings are discussed with respect to future research and managerial practices.

A Novel Approach to Ontology Management
The term ontology is defined as the explicit specification of a conceptualization. While much of the prior research has focused on technical aspects of ontology management, little attention has been paid to the investigation of issues that limit the widespread use of ontologies and the evaluation of the effectiveness of ontologies in improving task performance. This dissertation addresses this ...
متن کاملBuilding Successful Knowledge Repository Systems: Knowledge Refinement, Quality and Usage
Existing research on knowledge repositories has largely focused on supply-side driven research questions, such as employee motivation to contribute knowledge. This research turns attention to the demand-side issue of knowledge usage. Using the Information Systems (IS) success framework (DeLone and McLean 2003), this research theorizes knowledge quality as an important antecedent to knowledge us...

This paper describes knowledge awareness (KA), a new concept for inducing collaboration in an open ended and collaborative learning environment. Sharlok (sharing, linking and lookingfor knowledge) is also proposed as a testbed of KA, which has a knowledge building and collaborative learning environment connected via Internet. To enhance collaboration opportunities in this situation, KA provide...

Ontology mapping is a task aiming to align semantic resources in order to foster the re-use of information and to enable the knowledge and data expressed in the matched ontologies to interoperate. When ontology mapping algorithms are applied in practice, a manual refinement is furtherly necessary for validating the correctness of the resulted resource, especially, as it happens in real-world ca...
متن کاملAdjoint sensitivity analysis for time - dependent partial differential equations with adaptive mesh refinement q
A new adjoint sensitivity analysis approach is presented for time-dependent partial differential equations with adaptive mesh refinement. The new approach, called ADDA, combines the best features of both the adjoint of the discretization (AD) and discretization of the adjoint (DA) approaches. It removes the obstacles of applying AD to adaptive methods and, in contrast to DA, requires for its us...
