an empirical study of an informal Knowledge Repository in a medium sized software consulting company
International Conference on Software Engineering, 2003Co-Authors: Torgeir Dingsoyr, Emil RoyrvikAbstract:Numerous studies have been conducted on design and architecture of Knowledge repositories. This paper addresses the need for looking at practices where Knowledge repositories are actually used in concrete work situations. This insight should be used when developing Knowledge repositories in the future. Through methods inspired by ethnography this paper investigates how an unstructured Knowledge Repository is used for different purposes by software developers and managers in a medium-sized software consulting company. The Repository is a part of the company's Knowledge management tool suite on the Intranet. We found five distinct ways of using the tool, from solving specific technical problems to getting an overview of competence in the company. We highlight the importance of informal organization and the social integration of the tool in the daily work practices of the company.

Knowledge Management in Higher Education: A Knowledge Repository Approach
Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2005Co-Authors: John Wedman, Feng Kwei WangAbstract:One might expect higher education, where the discovery and dissemination of new and useful Knowledge is vital, to be among the first to implement Knowledge management practices. Surprisingly, higher education has been slow to implement Knowledge management practices (Townley, 2003). This article describes an ongoing research and development effort to implement Knowledge management strategies—specifically a Knowledge Repository approach involving a consortium of higher education institutionsstarting with teacher education and then expanding to other disciplines.

Developing a case-based reasoning Knowledge Repository to support a learning community—An example from the technology integration community
Educational Technology Research and Development, 2003Co-Authors: Feng Kwei Wang, John Wedman, Joi L. Moore, Chi-ren ShyuAbstract:People have long relied on storytelling for communicating ideas, transferring Knowledge, and consequently making decisions. This paper describes the design and development of a case-based reasoning (CBR) Knowledge Repository including its case library and the search engine to support the technology integration community. CBR assumes that community Knowledge can be captured in the form of stories (cases) so that the community members learn and solve problems by applying the lessons preserved in the stories to the current situation. The process and results of formative evaluation following the concept of participatory design are reported to set the context for further research and development.

Flying the KITE (Knowledge innovation for technology in education) through a case-based reasoning Knowledge Repository
On the Horizon, 2003Co-Authors: Feng Kwei Wang, Tawnya Means, John WedmanAbstract:Case?based reasoning (CBR), which has long been considered a branch of artificial intelligence, has recently gained great attention in the Knowledge management circle because of its capability for storing and retrieving experience?based Knowledge by emulating human memory, and its ability to function similar to organizational memory to preserve organizational Knowledge. While many successful CBR systems have been developed as Knowledge repositories for preserving intellectual capital and for problem solving in business communities, both the concept and methodology of CBR are still novelties in education communities. While there are a plethora of projects and practical pursuits for CBR applications in business, literature relating to designing, developing and evaluating practical CBR educational applications is conspicuously scant. Based on the issues encountered and lessons learned in a CBR system development project, this paper attempts to provide some pragmatic guidelines for those who are interested in applying the CBR Knowledge Repository approach to supporting Knowledge creation and diffusion in the education domain.
