Self-medication, defined as the act to treat oneself with or without drugs, is a common practice in industrial countries. A study of available computerized solutions in this field highlights that this issue has not been considered with enough attention, although they provide valuable services to both patients and health care organizations. This paper presents XIMSA, a self-medication knowledge-...

This research is focused on the use of knowledge management techniques to develop reusable web-based intellectual assets to leverage the learning process for individual learners. The literature review reveals that corporate solutions of knowledge management are not directly applicable due to the lack of adaptivity needed to provide individualized feedback to the learner, and their localized nat...

This paper addresses the realization of modularized knowledge models within a heterogeneous application domain using an existing knowledge management tool. The application domain we deal with is travel medicine, which combines medical aspects with geography, climate, holiday activities and associated traveling conditions. In this paper we present the application’s requirements and show how know...

In this paper we present KBAAA, a prototype system that provides a web-based interface for the analysis and assessment of knowledge base acceleration systems. KBAAA displays items from a voluminous document stream that are deemed central to a given target entity. Results can be visualised on a timeline along with the number of pageviews and edits made for that entity in the knowledge base. If a...

This study investigated the influences of learning styles/preferences, prior computer skills and experience with online courses on adult learners’ knowledge acquisition in a web-based special education course. Forty-six adult learners who enrolled in a web-based special education course participated in the study. The results of the study showed that (a) learning styles/preferences had significa...

Preserving and fostering knowledge is the vital interest of a network-like virtual organization. The decentralized and geographically distributed organizational structure inhibits knowledge flow. The particular conditions of knowledge management in virtual organizations are discussed by the example of an empirical study we carried out in a service company. We analyze how technical and organizat...

In this paper we describe the MBase system, a web-based, distributed mathematical knowledge base. This system is a mathematical service in MathWeb that ooers a universal repository of formalized mathematics where the formal representation allows semantics-based retrieval of distributed mathematical facts.

Problem: Several geoparsers are available, each with their own gazetteer and toponym recognition and resolution approaches. However, they often lack extensibility, implementations are not accessible, or they are fixed to a particular gazetteer. This makes adjustments to other application domains difficult and prevents easy experimental setup. HeidelPlace provides: •A generic gazetteer model sup...
