Background    (19O8)

This "Ontology in Knowledge Management and Decision Support (OKMDS)" mini-series is a collaboration between NASA, Ontolog and the (US) Federal Knowledge Management Working Group (KMWG) and is co-organized by a team of individuals from various related communities passionate about creating the opportunity for an inter-community, collaborative exploration of the intersection between Ontology, Knowledge Management and Decision Support, that could eventually lead us toward "Better Decision Making."    (19O9)

The mini-series will span a period of about six months (Nov-2007 to May-2008), during which we will be featuring Talks, Panel Discussions and Online Discourse on pertinent issues. We expect all the talks and panel discussion events to be offered in both 'real world' (augmented conference calls) and 'virtual world' (Second Life) settings.    (19OA)

Title: Creating Informational and Virtual Space for Knowledge Sharing    (19OK)

Abstract: (by JeanneHolm)    (19OL)

The use of knowledge management processes and technologies has been underway for some time--but does it really make a difference? How does access to the right information at the right time lead to better decisions by government executives on policy, implementations, and public safety? How can your organization's knowledge management resources be brought to bear on the core issues facing your employees and executives?    (19MP)

Join us for this discussion as we learn about two ends of the KM spectrum from the FAA and Nuclear Regulatory Commission looking at how a KM system and storytelling have helped the government personnel and the public to make better decisions.    (19N1)
