KMi Seminars
The Clockwork Project
This event took place on Tuesday 07 June 2005 at 12:30

 
Dr Zdenek Zdrahal KMi, The Open University

In the talk, the results of the CEC supported project ?Creating Learning Organisations with Contextualised Knowledge-rich Work Artefacts? (Clockwork, 2001-2003) will be presented. The main objectives addressed in the project were:

? Supporting teams in sharing knowledge enriched simulation models of dynamic systems,
? Supporting reuse of simulation and modelling knowledge across the organisation.

The problems of creating and sharing design knowledge in engineering will be discussed. The Clockwork methodology is supported by a web-based toolkit that allows designers to formally and informally annotate and later retrieve engineering models. Examples of Clockwork applications and the development after the end of the project will be also presented.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
