Scientific and Scholarly Classifications are not "Naïve": a Comment to Begthol (2003). Knowledge Organization, 31(1), 55-61.Hjørland, Birger, Nicolaisen, Jeppe January 2004 (has links)
In her paper Beghtol (2003) outlines how scholarly activities and research leads to classification systems which subsequently are disseminated in publications which are classified in information retrieval systems, retrieved by the users and again used in scholarly activities and so on. We think this model is correct and that its point is important. What we are reacting to is the fact that Beghtol describes the classifications developed by scholars as â naïveâ while she describes the classifications developed by librarians and information scientists as â professionalâ . We fear that this unfortunate terminology is rooted in deeply anchored misjudgments about the relationships between scientific and scholarly classification on the one side and LIS classifications on the other. Only a correction of this misjudgment may give us in the field of knowledge organization a chance to do a job that is not totally disrespected and disregarded by the rest of the intellectual world.

COPLINK: A case of intelligent analysis and knowledge managementHauck, Roslin V., Chen, Hsinchun January 1999 (has links)
Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / Law enforcement agencies across the United States have begun to focus on innovative knowledge management
technologies to aid in the analysis of criminal information. The use of such technologies can serve as
intelligence tools to combat criminal activity by aiding in case investigation or even by predicting criminal
activity. Funded by the National Institute of Justice, the University of Arizonaâ s Artificial Intelligence Lab has
teamed with the Tucson Police Department (TPD) to develop the Coplink Concept Space application, which
serves to uncover relationships between different types of information currently existing in TPDâ s records
management system. A small-scale field study involving real law enforcement personnel indicates that the use
of Coplink Concept Space can reduce the time spent on the investigative task of linking criminal information
as well as provide strong arguments for expanded development of similar knowledge management systems in
support of law enforcement.

Knowledge mobilization: The challenge for information professionalsKeen, Peter G.W. January 2006 (has links)
This paper examines the challenges that the success of library and information systems design and implementation is now generating. It makes a distinction between management and mobilization and argues that the organizational success of the interrelated fields of knowledge management and in-formation systems (KM/IS) rests on strengthening (1) their descriptive understanding of how individuals in organizations make their own choices about accessing, using and sharing knowledge and (2) corre-sponding prescriptive recommendations for adapting the technical designs of KM/IS to best accommo-date those choices. It is success that has created this need, in that every major trend in KM/IS adds to user choices and reduces institutional control; the library now has no locked doors and experts can â meetâ wherever they are and whenever they want. Blogs bypass all the formal traditions, practices, edi-torial policies, verification procedures and protections against libel and misrepresentation of traditional print media. The frequent use of the term â democratic journalismâ to describe the blog phenomenon (George, 2006) in itself implies that traditional journalism is non-democratic. While KM/IS is not driven by a search for profits in the mass consumer market, it shares the same basic aim as leaders in consumer electronics, mobile data services, and even the gaming field. It is a commitment of institutional funds, whether from research grants or in-house sources, to innovate through information technology. The pur-pose of the innovation is to enable and encourage new behaviors. Knowledge management is focused in this regard on knowledge-sharing and collaboration. Information services are generally more centered on individual information-seeking and learning. When user choices determine the adoption and impact of this type pf innovation, then obviously it is essential to understand the foundations and dynamics of choice.

Inclusive knowledge translationWener, Eleni Britt 21 August 2013 (has links)
This three-phased qualitative study examined the extent to which VP-Net succeeded in conducting Inclusive Knowledge Translation (IKT). Three phases of data collection: documentation of VP-Net knowledge translation activities, semi-structures interviews, and a focus group/critical reflection, were conducted with a total of fourteen participants. Key findings indicate that before a researcher can work to include people with disabilities in their research, they need to ensure inclusion in their own lives. Only then can a researcher move onto the Elements of Inclusive Knowledge Translation and incorporate them in their work. This research is important as Inclusive Knowledge Translation, a new and innovative concept, has never been studied before therefore there is a lack of evaluation conducted regarding the effectiveness of knowledge put into action. Embedded assumptions regarding characteristics and qualities of researchers and research users leave people with disabilities out of the research process.

Knowledge in consultancy firms : An exploratory study of knowledge and knowledge management in consultancy firmsJovancic, Natalie January 2015 (has links)
Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore how knowledge and management of knowledge is experienced and perceived at a consultancy firm and derive from the experiences of the participants when portraying the phenomenon of knowledge in such a setting. Aspects covered in this research are individual and collective knowledge, the complexity of project-based organisations and the different ways of perceiving knowledge (structural and practice). All of these aspects were accounted for in order to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences of the consultants, the knowledge environment at a consultancy firm, and how knowledge can be managed in such a setting. The research was inspired by my personal/professional experience of knowledge at a consultancy firm where I, prior to this research, was given the task of re-designing the content management system. In the initial planning phase I recognised a need to find out more about the way the consultants were working, how they used knowledge and how they perceived the knowledge had been managed. Qualitative data was collected through individual and group interviews and the philosophical tradition of phenomenology was derived from. The findings from the interviews showed three main themes of how knowledge was perceived; 1) ways of working (differing experiences depending on the context of internal or external work or individual or group project assignments), 2) the knowledge culture and 3) the process and structure of knowledge management at the firm. Based on the findings it is concluded that regardless of practice based knowledge sharing the project-based setting of consultancies requires more, it requires some documentation in order to enable collective knowledge through embedded artefacts. It can also be concluded that the lack of structure or processes contributes to further complexity which would suggest that implementing structure through for example a process oriented approach would ease the process of knowledge management and improve the perception of knowledge at the consultancy firm.

Registered Nurses’ perceived importance of knowledge sources in relation to structural empowermentAvery, Lorraine 08 January 2015 (has links)
Background: Empirical knowledge is a highly valued knowledge source. Empirical, esthetic, moral/ethical, personal, sociopolitical and unknowing are six knowledge sources used in nursing practice.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of the six knowledge sources and the relationship of these knowledge sources to structural empowerment (SE) by clinical practice nurses employed in adult specialty areas.
Methods: Clinical vignettes were used to determine the importance of the six knowledge sources and SE was measured by the Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-II. Data from qualitative interviews provided further understanding related to the use of pluralistic knowledge sources by the nurse participants.
Results: The nurse participants perceived all six knowledge sources as important in clinical practice. Perceptions of SE were partially explained by the nurse participants’ perceived importance of the six knowledge sources and personal knowledge. The qualitative interviews revealed that the nurse participants valued the knowledge of their peers particularly in unfamiliar clinical situations. A myriad of personal and professional consequences were described by participants when their practice environments were perceived to be uncaring including feelings of anger and emotional exhaustion.
Significance: The nurse participants valued pluralistic knowledge sources and wanted to use more of each of the six knowledge sources. The clinical context, patient acuity and time were important factors in the types of knowledge sources used by the nurse participants.
