Design/methodology/approach – The study has taken an interpretative approach, using two knowledge-intensive South ISFAHAN (Iran) companies as case studies, both of which are characterized by the need to process and use knowledge on a dail...

One of the primary problems in knowledge representation and learning is determining how multiple instances of concepts should be organized and represented. Symbolic approaches, such as semantic networks, have been successful at representing structured knowledge for parallel access. However, such approaches have had difficulty organizing multiple instances for automatic generalization and effici...

The great evolution of ontologies during the last decade, bred the need for storage and querying for the Semantic Web. For that purpose, many RDF tools capable of storing a knowledge base, and also performing queries on it, were constructed. Recently, fuzzy extensions to description logics have gained considerable attention especially for the purposes of handling vague information in many appli...

Traditionally, computing has meant calculating results and then storing those results for later use. Unfortunately, committing large volumes of rarely used data to storage wastes space and energy, making it a very expensive strategy. Cloud computing, with its readily available and flexibly allocatable computing resources, suggests an alternative: storing the provenance data, and means to recomp...

Knowledge sharing visibility is a critical environmental factor which can reduce social loafing in knowledge sharing. This is especially true in IT-based knowledge sharing. As such, it is imperative that we better understand how to design IT-based Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) to support high knowledge sharing visibility. This paper examines the impact of knowledge management technology fu...
