Puzzle 2

HORIZONTAL

2. Type of knowledge that cannot be codofied or expressed in written form.

ans : Tacit

4. One of the attribute of a web-based system.

ans : a. Platform independence and portability - a platform-free application, the Web allow knowledge management systems interoperate across diverse platforms and operating system environments within the enterprise.

b. Robust access - if Web- centric protocols are used as the basic for the enterprise-level integration, the knowledge management system can take advantage of the Internet's global network backbone, which offer multiple, redundant, and robust paths for moving sensitive data reliably-even if networks fail at multiple points.

c. Integration with legacy and existing systems - A collaborative knowledge-sharing platform can use wrappers to access legacy data through Web browsers, and HTTP and associated open Web protocols to integrate this data across the enterprise.

d. Security - When used as the primary access mechanism, Web browsers with built-in encryption provide a layer of security; therefore, a Web-based platform minimizes long-term security costs by tightly integrating virtual network tunnels with the existing TCP/IP network.

e. Scalability - The Internet offers a convenient platform for building systems using established methods for managing Web server scalability.

f. Distributed connectivity, flexbility and customizability - Distributed resources and databases can be interconnected cost-effectively and reliably using virtual networks tunneled
within the Internet, and Web browsers provide a ubiquitous interface that is easily customized
to support multiple languages, regional preferences, and features across the enterprise.

g. Ubiquitous, consistent, intuitive client interface - A Web interface allows a variety of applications to run from almost any platform and provides a universal and lightweight client
through which end users can run applications and access repositories without switching to an
unfamiliar operating environment.

5.The function of knowledge servers.

ans : Aggregation Hub - In a knowledge server, plugin components or accessors periodically poll
remote data sources for new content. The knowledge server creates a reference, or card, for each new document to capture key metadata such as author, subject, and title. Each card maintains a link to the original content, which the knowledge server indexes in a text search engine. The knowledge server uses each card’s text index and metadata properties to organize them in a hierarchy of administrator-defined categories that users can view through a Web browser. In addition, knowledge servers direct users to sources of tacit knowledge when the limits of codification are reached. This is often implemented in the form of skill and resource directories, which can be automatically generated by associating content with its producers,
authors, or collaborators.(HOW THEY WORK)

6. Type of integration mechanisms that cannot legacy data with existing and new systems.

ans : Legacy - Legacy integration mechanismsconnect legacy data with existing and new systems. A “wrapper” provides connectivity between old and new data formats, often through a Webfront end. Although this approach is common insystems integration, it has not been adapted to knowledge management systems. Wrapper complexity depends on the structural complexity of the data sources to be integrated. Several scripting languages can be used to integrate data sources such as those on mainframes. For example, Knowledge Query Modeling Language(KQML) supports knowledge sharing among applications, especially in cooperative problem solving. Wrappers can also be written in Perl or Python, or with wrapper tools like those in the Araneus toolkit (Minerva+Editor) and theStanford-IBM Manager of Multiple Information Sources (TSIMMIS) project.(HOW THEY WORK)

8. Three main roles of knowledge networking, managing, exchanging and ____________ explicit knowledge.

ans : Integrating

VERTICAL

1. Type of knowledge that can be explicited or codified.

ans : Explicit

3. A tool that can be used to handle explicit, codifiable content.

ans : Data Warehouses - definition : respository of an organization's electronically stored data. Data warehouses are designed to facilitate reporting and analysis

Project Management Systems - definition : a term covering many types of software, including scheduling, cost control and budget management, resource allocation, collaboration software, communication, quality management and documentation or administration systems, which are used to deal with the complexity of large projects.

7. Type of knowledge that ensure information is used to address actuial business issues.

ans : Packaging -

Integrating Knowledgge on the Web

SORRY FOR THE LATE POST..

SICK FOR PAST FEW DAYS..

HAPPY SHARING & COMMENT-ING..

Amrit,T and Balasubramaniam, R (2001) in the article stated that in a knowledge management technology ( KMT ) has become one of the most important intangible assets of companies, particularly for knowledge-based companies. The implication or dilemma is how the Web-centric approaches can support the organization requirements.

The author suggested with a framework illustration of knowledge management. In order to have a suitable infrastructure for creating tacit and explicit process and artifactual knowledge he stated that a few mechanisms such as sharing, distributing and locating the knowledge is essentially important to address.

The author was of the opinion that knowledge management system integrate should existing in various method. For instances, creating a platform where the people and information system can be integrated easily. This supported by the knowledge held at one location must be transparently accessible from other location regardless of protocols and formats.

The author described the components of the knowledge management network where assists in establish, maintain and support the networks by defining what is the enterprise knowledge network. He stated that, there are three categories, which must be integrated in the content level and architectural. According to the author, tools are the primarily devices that facilitate the execution of one or more tasks. For instances, to convey information easier, faster, and effectively the multimedia information acts as a mechanism to stimulate management system to capture information which is especially helpful.

The component can classified as:

Information mapping
Information and knowledge exchange
Knowledge flow
Intelligent agent and network mining

The author pointed out that there is unrestricted possibilities to access across a variety of mobile and stationary platforms. This is because information is generated daily and needs to be integrated with existing data to the repository is as efficient as possible.

The author also commented that the Extensible Markup Language ( XML ) was designed to improve the efficiency of control over the information presented on the Web and having standardized for exchanging information that is structured for further processing.

The author identified that the challenges and opportunities in knowledge networking where can technically facilitates the knowledge networking’s potential. Tacit and explicit knowledge have been widely spread and there were a few attempts to specify the organization level architectures for conversion and reconversion of the knowledge. Interdisciplinary collaboration can help in yield technical advances by allowing technology-focused researchers to address the related issues.
