Description & Coverage
Description:

In recent years there has been a growing interest in the nature of knowledge, its structure, and its utilization. With the advent and proliferation of computers and databases, knowledge has become a commodity embedded in our tools and machines that we use for everyday needs. Knowledge and Knowledge Systems: Learning from the Wonders of the Mind provides key studies in the area of knowledge, its measurement and systems, and a novel approach to the structure of knowledge and its progress.

Knowledge and Knowledge Systems: Learning from the Wonders of the Mind applies to academics, information and knowledge professionals, and people involved in the regulation and policy-making of information and knowledge systems. Knowledge and Knowledge Systems: Learning from the Wonders of the Mind discusses the ubiquitous presence of databases and knowledge systems, data mining, knowledge dispersion and transfer, and a framework of how knowledge is structured and developed.

Reviews & Statements

The text aspires to provide a balance between the discussion of theory and the application of the notions and constructs that the theory had advanced.

– Eliezer Geisler, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA

Geisler considers how human knowledge is structured and how it progresses, by analyzing existing intellectual frameworks and presenting a new model. This model views knowledge as a construct outside the data-information continuum, as well as the cumulation of sensorial inputs, or cognitive processes, in the human mind.

– Books News Inc . (2008)

This volume explores where and how knowledge is formed and how it can be measured, how humans generate complex constructs from sensory input, and how we store and utilize this complex knowledge.
