Abstract

Data warehousing has captured the attention of practitioners and researchers alike. But the design and optimization of data warehouses remains as an art rather than a science. This book presents the first comparative review of the state of the art and best current practice in data warehousing. It covers source and data integration, multidimensional aggregation, query optimization, update propagation, metadata management, quality assessment, and design optimization. Also, based on results of the European DWQ project, it offers a conceptual framework by which the architecture and quality of datawarehousing efforts can be assessed and improved using enriched metadata management combined with advanced techniques from databases, business modeling, and artificial intelligence

Abstract

Ontologies have been developed and investigated for quite a while now in artificial intelligente and natural language processing to facilitate knowledge sharing and reuse. More recently, the notion of ontologies has attracied attention from fields such as intelligent information integration, cooperative information systems, information retrieval, electronic commerce, and knowledge management. The author systematicaliy introduces the notion of ontologies to the non-expert reader and demonstrates in detail how to apply this conceptual framework for improved intranet retrieval of corporate information and knowledge and for enhanced Internet-based electronic commerce. In the second part of the book, the author presents a more technical view an emerging Web standards, like XML, RDF, XSL-T, or XQL, allowing for structural and semantic modeling and description of data and information.

Abstract

One out of two companies have increased their productivity or saved costs with knowledge management. This is a result from a comprehensive cross-industry survey in Europe about knowledge management run by the Competence Center Knowledge Management at Fraunhofer IPK, Germany. Best practices in knowledge management from leading companies are described for practitioners in different industries. The book shows how to integrate knowledge management activities into the daily business tasks and processes, how to motivate people and which capabilities and skills are required for knowledge management. The book concludes with an overview of the leading knowledge management projects in several European countries.

Abstract

As the most comprehensive reference work dealing with knowledge management (KM), this work is essential for the library of every KM practitioner, researcher, and educator. Written by an international array of KM luminaries, its approx. 60 chapters approach knowledge management from a wide variety of perspectives ranging from classic foundations to cuttingedge thought, informative to provocative, theoretical to practical, historical to futuristic, human to technological, and operational to strategic. The chapters are conveniently organized into 8 major sections. The first volume consists of the sections: foundations of KM, knowledge - a key organizational resource, knowledge processors and processing, influences an knowledge processing. Novices and experts alike will refer to the authoritative and stimulating content again and again for years to come. The second volume consists of the sections: technologies for knowledge management, outcomes of KM, knowledge management in action, and the KM horizon. Novices and experts alike will refer to the authoritative and stimulating content again and again for years to come.

Abstract

The key focus of this book is to integrate elements of information and knowledge management, together with the business process and intellectual capital. The book questions some of the fundamental concepts and principles currently used to manage information that revolve around business processes. Specifically, it addresses the argument to more effectively evaluate the contributions of human and systems capital (which are defined) to a process, highlighting the need to make more conscious decisions about what role each will perform in the developed process.

Content

Key Features - Covers the integration of the intellectual capital with business processes - Provides practical guidance an analysis of the complete business process (including products and customers) from a human and systems capital perspective - Provides practical frameworks that enable readers to implement the suggested strategies regarding the development of intellectual capital round business processes, which are explained throughout the book The Author Liz Taylor has worked in the knowledge and information management field for the past eight years. Readership The book is primarily aimed at those individuals in a service provision environment, who are responsible for change and/or effective business processes. Contents Introduction - the current environment; practical opportunities to expand the concepts; the way forward? Intellectual capital - definitions in context; capital relationships; introduction to the business process Human capital - the organisational perspective; relationship with corporate learning and development; tacit knowledge and the individual; contributions and collaboration; knowledge transfer Systems capital - information and communication; tools and enablers Examining the process (1) - the process jigsaw; inputs, outputs and by-products Examining the process (II) - creation of knowledge; influencing factors Managing expectations - adaptability and flexibility; environmental assessment; customer components; acceptable standards Maximising potential -focus of developments; effect of peripheral business activities; mapping potential contributions to a business process; prioritising development And the future? - the information and knowledge management vision; next steps

Abstract

The value of an organization is given not just by its tangible assets but also by the knowledge embodied in its employees and in its internal and external structures. Explicit knowledge can be shared as information and is easy to handle. Tacit knowledge has been neglected by effectiveness-orientied management techniques but is crucial for both the operational efficiency and the core competence of an organization. This book provided a survey of the use of information technology for knowledge management, and its chapters present specific research on how technologies such as computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), workflow, and groupware can support the creation and sharing of knowledge in organizations
