Modelling Knowledge Management Systems of a Distance Education Institution, supported by Semantic Web Technology
This event took place on Wednesday 01 November 2006 at 11:30

Knowledge management is important to every organisation, especially to distance education institutions where staff are geographically dispersed, and students are separated from the university, tutors and classmates. What are the main knowledge management requirements of a distance education institution? How can knowledge management systems solve those requirements? How can semantic web technologies support the knowledge management systems? In this talk, I will present my research motivation, expectation, investigation and conclusion about them. I will also describe the approach to model the knowledge management systems based on user and knowledge ontologies.

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.
