Abstract: Knowledge exchange between heterogeneous communities of practice has been recognized as the critical source of innovation and creation of new knowledge. This paper considers the problem of enabling such cross community knowledge exchange through knowledge visualization. We discuss the social nature of knowledge construction and describe main requirements for practical solutions to the given problem, as well as existing approaches. Based on this analysis, we propose a model for collaborative elicitation and visualization of community knowledge perspectives based on the construction of personalised learning knowledge maps and shared concept networks that incorporate implicit knowledge and personal views of individual users. We show how this model supports explicit and implicit exchange of knowledge between the members of different communities and present its prototypical realization in the Knowledge Explorer, an interactive tool for collaborative visualization and cross-community sharing of knowledge. Concrete application scenarios and evaluation experiences are discussed on the example of the Internet platform netzspannung.org.

TL;DR: The research reported in this paper sought first to delineate the essence of knowledge visualisation in the form of a comprehensive definition as well as a list of essential criteria exhibited by effective knowledge visualisations, and to address the lack of guidance by producing a set of information visualisation guidelines.

The Knowledge-Creating Company

Abstract: Abstract How has Japan become a major economic power, a world leader in the automotive and electronics industries? What is the secret of their success? The consensus has been that, though the Japanese are not particularly innovative, they are exceptionally skilful at imitation, at improving products that already exist. But now two leading Japanese business experts, Ikujiro Nonaka and Hiro Takeuchi, turn this conventional wisdom on its head: Japanese firms are successful, they contend, precisely because they are innovative, because they create new knowledge and use it to produce successful products and technologies. Examining case studies drawn from such firms as Honda, Canon, Matsushita, NEC, 3M, GE, and the U.S. Marines, this book reveals how Japanese companies translate tacit to explicit knowledge and use it to produce new processes, products, and services.
