Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

ABSTRACT

The study was designed to investigate the factors driving the academics to engage in work-related knowledge sharing activity using a conceptual model adapted from Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) of Ajzen (1991) and the two affective components (affective commitment and affect-based trust). A descriptive survey research design covering academics in all departments of the five faculties in The Polytechnic, Ibadan was employed.The literature review covered knowledge management KM, knowledge sharing KS and knowledge sharing behaviour KSB. Self-structured questionnaire based on the adapted model were administered as data collection instrument. Complete enumeration survey study was carried out because the total …

Towards Knowledge Sharing In Disaster Management: An Agent Oriented Knowledge Analysis Framework, Dedi Iskandar Inan, Ghassan Beydoun, Simon Opper

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Disaster Management (DM) is a complex set of interrelated activities. The activities are often knowledge intensive and time sensitive. Sharing the required knowledge timely is critical for DM. In developed countries, for recurring disasters (e.g. floods), there are dedicated document repositories of Disaster Management Plans (DMP) that can be accessed as needs arise. However, accessing the appropriate plan in a timely manner and sharing activities between plans often requires domain knowledge and intimate knowledge of the plans in the first place. In this paper, we introduce an agent-based knowledge analysis method to convert DMPs into a collection of knowledge units …

Tibetan Word Sense Disambiguation Based On A Semantic Knowledge Network Diagram, Lirong Qiu, Xinmin Jiang, Renqiang Ling

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

The method based on semantic knowledge is the most dynamic research direction in rule-based techniques. This method has been proven effective in studying English and Chinese word sense disambiguation. This study proposes two methods for selecting the correct Chinese meaning of Tibetan ambiguous words from Tibetan sentences in Tibetan-Chinese parallel corpora using semantic knowledge from HowNet and translation information from the aforementioned corpora. We can use these methods to build Tibetan-Chinese parallel corpora with word sense tagging. The two proposed methods are 1) the word sense disambiguation method based on HowNet and Tibetan-Chinese parallel corpora, and; 2) the semantic knowledge-based …
