Knowledge Management Tutor/Professor Prof. Dr. Uwe Lämmel Subject Information technology for Knowledge Management Contents Central part of the lecture is the representation of knowledge. Various types of knowledge representations were discussed. Knowledge Networks and Topic Maps are used to represent individual as well as organisational knowledge. Aim Students see the importance of knowledge management for an organisation and know the possibilities of information technology to support knowledge management. Students learn to deal with knowledge as an extension of information. You are able to extract knowledge from the real world and can translate it into a formal representation a computer can deal with. You can choose appropriate knowledge representation and processing for a certain problem. The advantage of a semantic search (knowledge based) against a pure syntactic one (google) will become evident.
