Introduction

• Aims• Problem statement

– Knowledge reusability– Explicit knowledge reuse (ex. Docs)– Tacit knowledge exploitation (ex. Experienced

people’s opinions)

Page 3: Supporting the learning process through Knowledge Based Systems

• What is knowledge?Data InformationKnowledge

• Questions to be answered– Where is knowledge located?– How can it be better exploited through

technology means?

• Benefits from Knowledge Based Systems (Skyrme at el., 1997)

• Quick responding to changes• Innovation • Effectiveness

• Famous case studies (Davenport et al., 2001)– Ernst & Young

– Microsoft

– HP

• Activities concerning knowledge reuse– Personalization: Knowledge sharing through person to

person communication

– Codification: Knowledge capture and storage in repositories

– Discovery: Knowledge extraction from databases or the Internet
