TL;DR: This paper describes knowledge management teaching and dissemination concepts to support the training of professionals in an organization to manage their knowledge assets based on AIAI's experience of working with large organizations to establish a technical knowledge management framework.
Abstract: This paper describes knowledge management teaching and dissemination concepts to support the training of professionals in an organization to manage their knowledge assets. They are based on AIAI's experience of working with large organizations to establish a technical knowledge management framework and to support their personnel in implementing the framework.The concepts support organizations who embark on a knowledge management programme. They promote the importance of knowledge management and the awareness of how knowledge management can be accomplished within, and across, operational divisions: create an awareness of a framework to achieve knowledge management; and establish a group of personnel who have skills in knowledge management techniques to enable them to facilitate the development, maintenance, use and sharing of the organization's knowledge assets.The main objective is to ensure that knowledge management techniques are rolled out across the organization. Importantly, these concepts provide the organization with the necessary training in the use of techniques to identify, analyse and manage knowledge assets.

TL;DR: The higher the degree of centrality of a woman in her social network, the less likely it is that she will experience Neonatal death, and the experience of neonatal death is significantly associated with the type of assistance she obtained at giving birth.

26 May 2003TL;DR: The development and use of an ontology of e-government services, based on the SmartGov project, is described, which identifies the knowledge required to deliver e- government transaction services and describes the use of a domain map to assist in knowledge management.
Abstract: This paper is about the development and use of an ontology of e-government services. We identify the knowledge required to deliver e-government transaction services. Based on the SmartGov project, we describe the use of a domain map to assist in knowledge management and motivate the use of an ontology as a domain map. We describe the development of the e-government service ontology and give a few examples of its definitions. We explain why the SmartGov project has adopted taxonomies, derived from the ontology, as its domain map. We highlight issues in ontology development and maintenance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the history of the often controversial triadic relationship between ethnography, theory and systems design and argue that the CHAT framework provided the opportunity to move from ethnographic intuition to design insight, and that therefore the answer to Nardi's question is no?simply training good ethnographers is unlikely to be enough for a number of reasons.
Abstract: The idea for this paper came from a debate at the 1998 ISCRAT conference in Denmark on cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT). A leading activist in the movement to bring CHAT into systems design, Bonnie Nardi, asked the question; would design not benefit more from training better ethnographers than from burdening them with such a complex set of theoretical concepts and debates as CHAT? This paper seeks to answer that question on the basis of our experiences applying CHAT concepts in a long-term design ethnography at a UK newspaper. It examines the history of the often controversial triadic relationship between ethnography, theory and systems design and argues that the CHAT framework provided us with the opportunity to move from ethnographic intuition to design insight, and that therefore the answer to Nardi's question is no?simply training good ethnographers is unlikely to be enough for a number of reasons (not least of which is the problem of how inexperienced fieldworkers become design ethnographers). The explicit use of theoretical frameworks, at least those such as CHAT which are particularly suited to design issues, discourages the tendency for ethnographers to see themselves as “proxy users” by encouraging greater reflexivity about the researcher's role in constructing the object of study. At a more pragmatic level, it helps the fieldworker navigate the apparently never-ending mass of “potentially interesting material” any field experience throws up.
