Week 10

KM Architecture:

We classify fundamentals for KM systems in Layers that represents internal technologies of company which are as follows:

The User Interface: Interface b/w user and KM system like a web browser which should be consistent and easy to use.
Authorized Access Control: This layer ensures the unauthorized access to the info stored in company repositories. It maintains security.
Knowledge-Enabling Application: It provides knowledge Bases(i.e how performance can improve?), dbms information and aurtomation tools.
Transport Layer: Ensures that company will become a network of relationships such as LANs. WANs. intranets, extranets, and the internet.
Middleware: It makes possible to connect old and new data formats.
Physical Repositories: Most bottom layer of KM architecture where all repositories are installed.

KM System Development Life Cycle:

~Evaluate existing infrastructure~Form the KM team~Knowledge capture~Design KM blueprint (master plan)~Test the KM system~Implement the KM system~Manage change and reward structure~Post-system evaluation

Chapter 5
Capturing Tacit Knowledge

Knowledge Capturing: The process of gathering information about the expert's experience and thinking.

3 Important Steps:

  • Use appropriate technique to gather info
  • Interpret the info
  • Build rules with the interpretations.

Level of Experts:

  • Highly expert persons. 
  • Moderately expert problem solvers. 
  • New experts.
Individual Expert: Ideal when building simple KM system, easily conflicts can be resolved.
Multiple Experts: It can benefit complex problem domain and allow alternative way of representing knowledge.

Types of Interview:

Structured: Questions and responses are definitive.
Unstructured: Neither the questions nor their responses specified in advance.
Semi Structured: Predefined questions are asked.
