The Theory of Biomedical Knowledge Integration(Ⅳ)

This paper presented some philosophic viewpoints of the Theory of BMKI (The Theory of Biomedical Knowledge Integration), a new exploration in BioMedica l Informatics. It discussed an evolutional relation from propositional calculus, predicate calculus, through framework, to neural network.. The differences in e xclusivity and other natures were explored for physical systems(the real world), quasi-physical systems(the copies of the real world) and mental systems(the abs tracts of the real world). Based on their behaviours in cognitive sciences and k nowledge engineering, the new concepts quasi-infinity or -infinitesimal,potentia l knowledge,dynamic knowledge were introduced. This paper has also described so called "big-or" space which is the base of scientific understanding or associati on. Furthermore the paper put forward the viewpoint that "reasoning only can imp lement in an axiomatic space" and then outlined the building processes of such k ind of space. At last so called "beacon-and-compass strategy" in BMKI was introd uced.

Integrating Project Management, Software Development, and Knowledge Management Models: A Case Study in a Public ICT Services Organization

In project-based organizations knowledge is a critical resource used to develop and deliver products and services with a high level of quality. Therefore, a systematic and sustainable process is necessary to coordinate knowledge management, project management and product lifecycle. This scenario predominates in companies focused on the creation and maintenance of information systems. This article presents an exploratory study based on a framework that integrates cognitive, managerial, and operational processes in a public Brazilian organization that provides services in the area of information and communications technology, focusing on the construction and maintenance of information systems. Those processes are operationalized by three management models considering knowledge, project, and software development processes. Our proposal aims to understand the relationships between those three management models and their influence on the software development process in the organization under study. Our premise is based on the principle that cognitive management, project management, and software development management must be integrated to fulfill the demands of product development and service provision. The research data was composed of registers of working hours spent on software development and maintenance projects involving 244 people allocated to 5064 projects in the period from 2007 to 2013. The study resulted in the identification of the relationships among the three management models adopted by the organization, with emphasis on knowledge management activities, which were not directly identified, making it difficult to account for and measure them. We established a set of activities connected to each one of the knowledge management model phases. Since those activities were not visible before, our approach contributed to build a systematic process to register and relate activities linked to the dimensions of cognitive processes, project management, and software construction.

Audit-firm serving experience heterogeneity and audit knowledge integration:Evidence from the disclosure of key audit matters

Audit practice is a team effort led by signing auditors.We examine the impact of the heterogeneity of signing auditors’audit-firm serving experiences on the disclosure of key audit matters(KAMs).Auditors with more heterogeneous serving experiences demonstrate more adequate KAM disclosure,as evidenced by more KAMs,longer texts and clearer attributions in their disclosures.This effect is influenced by the quality of audit knowledge that auditors accumulate from different serving experiences and the team-and audit-firm-level knowledge integration environment.Furthermore,signing auditors with more diverse service experience tend to improve audit quality,reduce the incidence of restatement or misconduct and enhance the informativeness of financial reports.Our findings enrich the KAM disclosure research and provide insights into audit firms’human resource allocation and internal management.

Functional knowledge integration of the design process

Functional knowledge integration is the initial and core phase of a design process. It is the key phase to ensure that the functional requirement of the design product can be appropriately complied with, and its result is also the rudiment of the subsequent detailed design work. If this important phase can be supported by an increasingly distributed resource environment, and be automated such that its completion requires less manual work, the efficiency of the design process would be largely improved and its ability to promote innovation would be enhanced. Therefore, this study involved a detailed analysis of the functional knowledge integration of the design process, as well as the proposal of a corresponding running model. Based on the model, a computational algorithm and an evaluating method were established to automate functional knowledge integration. A corresponding computer program was developed to prove the feasibility of this approach, and it was used to design a solarpowered wiper blade.

Development and application of knowledge-based subject group integration platforms:A case study of Shanghai Institute of Ceramics,CAS

Purpose:According to the different requirements of research group users,we established the knowledge-based subject group integration platforms of Shanghai Institute of Ceramics,the Chinese Academy of Sciences(abbreviated as SIC CAS hereinafter),which were designed and constructed to better meet the needs of CAS research groups for their development,collaboration and communication.Design/methodology/approach:We first identified the requirements of users via preliminary investigation,and then chose CASI1 P,iLibrary and XKE technology,respectively as the building tools compatible with the major demands of users.These steps helped us complete the layout design of SIC CAS integration platforms,as well as its knowledge organization and integration.Findings:According to the need of users,we applied three types of platform construction technologies to five SIC integration platforms,and formulated standard norms for the further construction process,which could provide useful reference for a sustainable development for the extensive construction in CAS institutes.Research limitations:In order to make the SIC integration platforms more intelligent and have more functions,we need to enlarge the scale of the Platforms and upgrade the building tools for the platform construction.Practical implications:The nature of SIC sub-project integration platforms is to construct a content-sensitive environment which can embed knowledge services and knowledge applications seamlessly into scientific activities,so the Platform is expected to be a useful tool to help researchers better understand the recent development of the research field and form collaborations with their peers.Originality/value:SIC integration platforms are the only pilot construction that used 3different platform technologies in the first batch of knowledge-based subject group integration platforms of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.The construction is user-centered throughout the whole process,namely,from the technology selection,content construction to the sustainable development of the platforms,which are all based on user requirements.During this process,we have not only established sustainable mechanisms for both the personalized feedback and security management of the institutional knowledge of SIC CAS,but also formed a service team for the sustainable development of SIC integration platforms.

Integration of a Resource-Oriented Vocabulary with Knowledge-Oriented Vocabulary Systems

万维网信息网关面临着三大挑战:描述内容的直观的词汇表,词汇表系统的逻辑结构,以及不同的词汇表结构之间丰富的相互关系。本文试图解决美国国家教育图书馆发起的教育资源网关(GEM)遭遇的这些挑战。GEM的面向资源的词汇表定义了教育资源的范围和子类;然而,它缺乏主题类目之间和主题类目与关键词之间的相互关系。对GEM用户所作的一次调查表明,这种语义关联的缺乏对系统的检索效果具有负面的影响。作为对比,许多面向知识的词汇表系统含有语义关联及表达知识的结构。这篇论文报告了GEM语义项目第一阶段的成果,在这一阶段,作者通过分析其结构和特点,对GEM的受控词汇表增加了语义映射。在语义映射实验基础上,提出了两种模型来整合面向资源和知识的词汇表系统。元素-属性-值(EAV)模型注重于资源类型,可以方便地用文献类型定义来表达。语义层级模型则基于主题词条的语义含义和关系来对其加以处理。这两种整合模型可被用作词汇表建立和维护的理论框架。
