What is Knowledge Management?

I don't know how many different definitions of knowledge management are out there. Too many, for sure. Most of them are too long as well. Would you consider this very short definition of Semantic Knowledge Management?

  • Knowledge Management is connecting knowledge sources with knowledge needs through knowledge attributes.

So what is KM all about? It is not about people, per se. It is not about change management. It is not about content management, organizational culture, communities, etc. etc.

It is simply about knowledge and about ways of effectively making use of it in an organization. And the hypothesis here is that such effective use is only possible in the long run through knowledge attributes, i.e., by taking KM to the semantic level.

In doing so, some of those other things - people, communities, culture, change management, etc. - do come into the picture, of course. Nevertheless, our focus should remain on the core problem: knowledge and its effective use.

How would you assess the topic of the book? Would it be based on a Term/Keyword count which would relate the keywords to their conventional meaning and rank the ascribed topic of the book.
-In such a case, a book could belong to many topics.
-For example: A book by Issac Asimov, can be part of 'space studies' since it mentions space-ships, planets, etc., and it also can be part of science-fiction since it mentions a lot of ideas which may not match with the information found in conventional space/astronomy literature.
-In a way, topic selection would then depend on dis-similarities and similarity assessments.
-Would it be possible to then create keyword-vectors for each book to be classified and then compare them with subject clusters?
-Classification would be a priori though certain books are often used in inter-disciplinary studies and adopt multiple class labels along the way.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
