  knowledge - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about knowledge
Knowledge is often defined as justified true belief, although philosophers dispute what would count as justification here, and some philosophers have argued that knowledge does not involve but replaces belief.
For Plato, knowledge is of the Forms, or universals, whereas belief is of changing, material things.
The existence of this latent knowledge is further proved by the interrogation of one of Meno's slaves, who, in the skilful hands of Socrates, is made to acknowledge some elementary relations of geometrical figures.

 Domain knowledge, search behaviour, and search effectiveness of engineering and science students: an exploratory study
Subject domain knowledge is the 'knowledge that users have of the topic being searched, or of the general subject area from which that topic is drawn' (Allen 1991b: 11).
Since domain knowledge is related to terminologies and vocabulary in a field (Allen 1991a), it is reasonable to assume that there would be a connection between the level of domain knowledge and the terms the user would select for use in the query formulation while performing the search.
Their work revealed that domain experts were content-driven, focusing on the answers to the search questions and had clear expectations for the answer to be found while search experts were problem-driven, focusing on the problem statement and the query formulation.

 Project: Knowledge reuse and ontologies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Domain knowledge organized without paying attention to its usage is difficult to find out how to incorporate what portion of it into a specific problem solving process.
Knowledge acquisition is known as a serious bottleneck in building knowledge-based systems, since it is difficult to elicit expertise from domain experts.
We eventually showed most of the domain knowledge except structural knowledge specific to each substation can be organized so as to be reusable across the three tasks and each task-specific knowledge represented in terms of task ontology is also reusable across substations whose structure is considerably different from each other.

 What is knowledge management?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
By the mid-1980s, the importance of knowledge (and its expression in professional competence) as a competitive asset was apparent, even though classical economic theory ignores (the value of) knowledge as an asset and most organizations still lack strategies and methods for managing it.
Unless the knowledge management approach incorporates methods of leveraging cumulative experience, the net result may not be positive, and the impact of implementation may be no more measurable than in traditional paper models.
Knowledge management has an important management component, but it is not an activity or discipline that belongs exclusively to managers.

But when this expert knowledge is combined with superior algorithmic approaches and supercomputing know-how, a Deep Computing solution is born.
Rather, customization is necessary at the level of the domain -- the set of information and expertise required for a given problem.
Once a solution has been built for a specific type of problem, it can be ported to other customers with the same problem, and often can serve as the basis for solutions to similar cross-industry challenges.

The hierarchical structure for a particular domain of knowledge also depends on the context in which that knowledge is being applied or considered.
This condition is easily met after age 3 for virtually any domain of subject matter, but it is necessary to be careful and explicit in building concept frameworks if one hopes to present detailed specific knowledge in any field in subsequent lessons.
There is still relatively little known about memory processes and how knowledge finally gets incorporated into our brain, but it seems evident from diverse sources of research that our brain works to organize knowledge in hierarchical frameworks and that learning approaches that facilitate this process significantly enhance the learning capability of all learners.

 Knowledge Sharing Papers
Principal obstacles to all current work in knowledge sharing involve the difficulties of achieving consensus regarding what knowledge representations mean, of enumerating the context features and background knowledge required to ascribe meaning to a particular knowledge representation, and of describing knowledge independent of specific interpreters or inference engines.
Much current work on knowledge acquisition for intelligent systems concentrates on the use of predefined models of problem-solving methods to define the roles in which domain knowledge is used to solve particular application tasks.
Knowledge engineers extend this model of problem solving with domain knowledge to define models of relevant application areas.

This is an interesting domain for research on human computer interaction as it combines a variety of problem areas such as temporal and spatial reasoning.
It seems to be harder for subjects with weak knowledge of the domain to keep to the optimal sequence of actions than for subjects with good knowledge, especially using the multimodal interface.
Subjects with weak domain knowledge were significantly slower when using the unimodal interface than the multimodal when solving the task for the first time.

Datum: 2002-11-04 Tid: 13:30 Plats: Alan Turing (Estraden) Namn: Martin Magnusson Titel: Domain Knowledge in TALplanner Abstract: Planning with domain knowledge is a relatively new and growing research area that allows tackling much larger planning problems than were previously possible.
This is achieved by allowing the encoding of domain knowledge as search control rules or heuristics, reducing the search space and guiding the search.
Also discussed are the challenges met and the modifica-tions made to the planner in order to perform efficiently in the domains and comply with all contest rules.

 ECML/PKDD-2004 Knowledge Discovery and Ontologies Workshop
The workshop is concerned with the interaction between prior knowledge as encoded in ontologies and derived knowledge as obtained by a knowledge discovery process.
Currently, in most KDD projects, prior knowledge is only present implicitly (in the head of the human analyst) or in the form of textual documentation.
Somewhat less traditional is the role of ontologies in incremental approaches to knowledge discovery, in which ontologies and machine learning methods are used in combination to mine, interpret and (re-)organise knowledge.

 Lost in Translation - Knowledge Transfer - CIO Magazine Jul 15,2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In others, knowledge transfer can be done well enough to make the outsourcing work, but only if CIOs understand the full extent of the knowledge that must be transferred and spend the time and money necessary to get it from here to there.
"Domain knowledge [the context of the work] is the part of knowledge transfer that people typically point to as a cause of failure," says Erran Carmel, associate professor at American University's Kogod School of Business.
In effect, the most likely candidates for knowledge transfer include the support of mature systems (if they are well understood and documented by the client) and the development of new, noncore systems—such as timekeeping systems or inventory control—that are a manageable size and can be easily separated from the company (and reintegrated).

 High-Quality Software Architecture Design
Domain analysis is considered to be essential in designing high-quality software systems.
Second, although most commercially available methods emphasize the importance of domain analysis, they mainly focus on analyzing the requirements of end-users, and fall short in identifying and applying solution domain knowledge.
Third, modeling domain knowledge is still a challenging problem because of the existence of multiple models and the intrinsic evolutionary nature of the software development process.

Similarly, you may have rules about the contents of particular fields (such as phone numbers or social security numbers, which must follow a particular format) or the fact that a grade assigned to a student for a course must be between 0.0 and 4.0.
The knowledge of the domain brings in constraints that make it better to design the database one way rather than another for a particular set of circumstances.
For example, in the previous exercise, the knowledge of the relationship of Dorm to Year and Sex also helped us to normalize, but this example was a bit contrived.

 AI-ED 2001 Conference
While it is necessary to explore future directions for research in regard to external representations of knowledge domains and learning processes, our primary interest is to develop an understanding of the requisite educational pedagogy.
Too much ‘external representation’ could distract a learner from the task at-hand if the learner is developing a n appropriate understanding of the material, but if the learner is not developing a correct understanding a highly intrusive intervention may be in order to intentionally distract the learner and provide correct information.
Although computers only perform as well as people in highly restricted domains, we believe that accurately identifying a learner’s cognitive-emotive state is a critical indicator that wil l determine how to assist the learner in appreciating an understanding of the efficiency and pleasure of the learning process.
