2. Types of Procedural Knowledge Procedural knowledge forms an important part of expertise. This paper describes a system which allows domain experts to themselves enter procedural Knowledge into a knowledge base. The system, a stylized form of scientific English embodied within the Unit System for knowledge acquisition and representation, has been used successfully within the domain of molecul...

Organisations can be interpreted as a collection of actors who produce value for clients. In order for organisations to stay competitive there is a need for organisations to continuously develop their ability. An organisation’s ability is determined by its ability to effectively apply existing knowledge to create new knowledge and to take action that form the basis for achieving competitive adv...

A knowledge base about any domain should satisfy some basic properties. One of these properties is completeness. Assuming that a knowledge base is temporal, that is, it contains explicit time references in its rules and facts, we may face a problem of an infinite number of possible premises, as the number of temporal references (e.g. in business documents) is unlimited. A technique for reducing...

The high potential for synergy between Knowledge Management (KM) and eLearning seems obvious given the many interrelations and dependencies of these two fields. However, the relationship has not yet been fully understood and harnessed. This workshop therefore aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners, who are interested in combining findings from both fields. On the one hand learn...

One important success factor for Software Research and Development organizations is their ability to systematically manage knowledge and information. Based on our experiences, we examine the characteristics and the activities that need knowledge-based support in software R&D organizations in academic environments. A tailored KM solution is outlined considering knowledge content, process, organi...

Much of the work in agent programming assumes an execution model where an agent has a knowledge base (KB) about the current state of the world, and makes decisions about what to do in terms of what is entailed or consistent with this KB. Deliberation or planning then would involve looking ahead and gauging what would be consistent or entailed at various stages by future KBs. We show that in the...

Ardans method ArdansSas (2006b) and technology ArdansSas (2006a) of knowledge capitalization and structuration are used with different industries (automotive, aerospace, energy, defence, steel, health, etc.) for more than a decade in France and Europe. The proposed solutions in knowledge management and especially in expertise capitalisation have set a lot of feedback over time. With a view towa...
