Engineers often need to discover and learn designs from unfamiliar domains for inspiration or other particular uses. However, the complexity of technical design descriptions unfamiliarity domain make it hard engineers comprehend function, behavior, structure a design. To help quickly understand complex description new them, one approach is represent as network graph design-related entities thei...

Simplifying and structuring qualitatively complex knowledge, quantifying it in a certain way to make it reusable and easily accessible are all aspects that are not new to historians. Computer science is currently approaching a solution to some of these problems, or at least making it easier to work with historical data. In this paper, we propose a historical knowledge representation model takin...

Negotiation is an essential component of collaboration: By means of knowledge negotiation, a group of knowledge workers or collaborative learners determines what knowledge they have constructed together and accepted as a group. We develop the concept of “knowledge negotiation” as an important aspect of knowledge building and knowledge management, and then adapt CSCW support for negotiation to C...

This paper focuses on how teachers guide construction of knowledge in classrooms. We suggest that guidance hinges on the kind of dialogue teachers choose to engage students in. We propose several classroom dialogue types relevant for the construction of knowledge and suggest that critical dialogue is particularly effective for knowledge construction. We describe a lesson on probability conducte...

ANDASA is a knowledge management platform for the capitalization of knowledge and cultural assets for the artistic and cultural sectors. It was built based on the priorities expressed by the participating artists. Through mapping artistic activities and specificities, it enables to highlight various aspects of the artistic research and production. Such instrument will contribute to create netwo...

Knowledge management at an organisational level can only be brought into practice if a corporate memory is defined. Unfortunately, at this moment there is no complete and procedural specification on how to build it. This paper presents a complete and generic knowledge representation scheme that makes it possible to conceptualise/represent the knowledge of any domain in a systematic way, guiding...

This paper reviews how the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL), an intelligence unit within the US Army, has entrenched a unique knowledge reuse process into its modus operandi. It highlights several issues related to knowledge reuse, including the collection, distillation and dissemination of knowledge, the role of subject experts in the knowledge reuse process and how technology facilitate...

We present a Fourier transform representation of the gamma functions, which leads naturally to a distributional representation for them. Both of these representations lead to new identities for the integrals of gamma functions multiplied by other functions, which are also presented here. 1. Introduction. Considering the time since Euler extended the domain of the fac-torial function from the na...

— Knowledge management is a key issue for many public and private organisations. We propose in this paper a metamodel for corporate knowledge representation and management.
