Knowledge Management

A logical trend in knowledge management tools is to try to simulate the natural way in which we organize our thoughts.

This will provide an interface to create or attach easily contained and linked by association and quickly, avoiding the traditional hierarchical organization to provide many applications. In this way the contents are organized in network structure, and become mental maps that shape our understanding of specific topics.

The digital magazine RUSC has published a complete monograph titled 'Communication and construction of knowledge in the new technological space'. The monograph composes of an introduction of Javier Nó Sánchez, and five interesting articles in which reflect on the training and the utilization of the virtual surroundings and the new technologies for the education, and how goes developing our process of learning in the net.

I attach the electronic document that contains the monograph complete, and include to continuation the summary of Javier and those that the authors have realized on his articles:
 

Datamining, is the no trivial process of discovering valid patterns, new, potentially useful and comprehensible inside a group of data, as the definition of Piatetsky-Shapiro published in the magazine "AI Magazine".
To simplify, we could say that data mining treats to extract knowledge from data.
By means of a series of processes applied in different phases on the data in gross, and defined by an expert that know the meaning of these data, and have clear the aims that pursues, can extract relations between these data, discover unseen patterns and build models that describe this knowledge.
The phases by which would have to happen this process of finding of knowledge are the following:

- Definition of the datamining task.
¿What objective pursue ?
- Data selection
- Data preparation
- Application of datamining processes on the treated data
- Evaluation and interpretation of the model obtained
- Integration of the results in the information systems

It is a continuous process, and can feature of different iterations, where the results of an iteration feeds the start of the following.

Abstracs: The different meanings of the terms information management, knowledge management, and quality management are analyzed; as well as their relation to the information institutions activities.
