Organizations need to remain competitive in today’s marketplace. Technology change impacts knowledge competencies that require alteration quickly, to reduce operating costs, and eliminate human errors. Updating computer system documentation procedures require unlearning to maintain competency. Physician end-users possess specialized competencies, or knowledge base in documentation of patient da...

During the past decade a number of modelling frameworks for knowledge based systems have been developed. In this paper an approach to the comparison of modelling frameworks is proposed, based on the aims and purposes behind the frameworks. A purpose oriented comparison of the frameworks DESIRE, CommonKADS, PROTÉGÉ-II, MIKE, VITAL and KARL provides insight in their differences and similarities.

Complex real world domains can be characterized by a large amount of data, their interactions and that the knowledge must often be related to concrete problems. Therefore, the available descriptions of real world domains do not easily lend themselves to an adequate representation. The knowledge which is relevant for solving a given problem must be extracted from such descriptions with the help ...

The Pellucid project developed an adaptable and customisable platform for enabling experience management in public organisations. A framework for experience management has been developed based on the generation of ‘active hints’ that are presented to the user according to working context. Working context encompasses both position in the work process and domain-specific characteristics. The pape...

Reference documentation is an important source of information on API usage. Programmers, however, can easily overlook reference information because of its tedious nature, and because the information they seek can be buried among irrelevant or boiler-plate text. We propose to detect and recommend fragments of API documentation relevant and important to a task. We categorize pieces of information...

Architectural knowledge is reflected in various artifacts of a software product. In a software product audit this architectural knowledge needs to be uncovered and its effects assessed in order to evaluate the quality of the software product. A particular problem is to find and comprehend the architectural knowledge that resides in the software product documentation. In this article, we discuss...

BACKGROUND The current economic environment necessitates efforts to prevent avoidable losses in clinical revenue in academic cardiothoracic surgery programs. Inadequate documentation frequently results in delayed, denied, or reduced reimbursement. With the recent increase in integrated residency programs, documentation and compliance are becoming increasingly dependent on junior residents; howe...

Multilingual technical documentation is increasingly important due to the rising complexity of technical products. Our main point in this paper is the fact that it is possible to model product knowledge in such a way that this representation, together with additional linguistic resources, can be used for the knowledge based generation of multilingual technical documentation. The advantages of t...

Today, the architectures of software systems are not stable for their whole lifetime but often adapted driven by business needs. Preserving their quality characteristics beyond each of these changes requires deep knowledge of the requirements and the systems themselves. Proper documentation reduces the risk that knowledge is lost and hence is a base for the system’s maintenance in the long-run....

One of the major issues for knowledge management in a project environment is the poor project success analysis and the lack of proper documentation on the results of the previous projects. In this research, we investigate in which way project success analysis, presented as a framework, can improve knowledge management in project environment. An empirical research was conducted in order to defin...
