The goal of this study is to explore how information is currently organized in digital cultural heritage collections in Arabian Gulf countries. it focused on Alqabas – a Kuwaiti institution with a strong reputation of early adopter of digital archiving and developer of major digital collections in Arab Gulf counties, accumulated experience in knowledge management. The mixed-methods study combined semi-structured interview of the Alqabas archive manager and in-depth content analysis of a sample of metadata records that represent items in Alqabas digital collections for accuracy, completeness, consistency, use of knowledge organization systems. The study reveals high metadata quality overall but lack of consistency for many metadata fields, explained in part by the absence of metadata creation guidelines and professional training for metadata creators. This indicates potential barriers to metadata interoperability in an aggregated environment for future projects similar to DPLA or Europeana.

Recent years have seen the development of quite a few measures of wisdom (e.g. Ardelt (2003); Glück (2017); Staudinger and Pasupathi (2003); Sternberg (1998); Webster (2003)). With a focus on information professionals working in the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) sector, this study is unique in the way it translated the quantitative measures used in previous study into a qualitative instrument that can allow wisdom aspects to be explored through interviews. Thus the purpose of this research was to investigate the key characteristics of wisdom for professionals working in the GLAM sector.

By writing this paper we tried to illustrate the practical difference between KM initiatives in R&D and industry. However, the overlapping of the approaches at some certain stages are visible. The information management has been considered as an essential part of the knowledge management in both of organizations. The capture of the critical knowledge in both organizations remains a main issue even if the selected methods are different. The coaching & mentoring program which are well implemented at the IRE (HZDR), are may be difficult to realize/accomplish at the BGE. However, the pilot coaching program is planned at the BGE, but currently not available due to the “young” founding date in 2017. One of the main concerns of the BGE as an implementer, is the motivation and encouragement of all employees to share and distribute their knowledge and benefit from each other.

Using technology and e-publication formats, Mobilizing Computable Biomedical Knowledge (MCBK) aims to promote learning health services and reduce time to get healthcare products to patients. This paper summarizes developing a community of practice (CoP) experts, providing educational activities, and plans for sustainable Open Educational Resource (OER) materials online as funded by an IMLS grant.* Activities were part of a pilot training for 20 knowledge managers, students and professionals in Library and Information Science (LIS) in December, 2021. The educational goal is to introduce MCBK concepts globally and and to promote KM and LIS leadership in designing healthcare repositories and accessing information. Beyond text and graphics, CBK publications provide encodable prediction models and computable information in electronic media. It is “dynamic knowledge” in open access formats. Such computable knowledge allows readers to evaluate and validate data or tools that may, for example, compute a risk score for infection. Analysis and review by e-journal readers may reduce time to implementation in healthcare systems or K2P (knowledge to performance) from years with traditional peer- reviewed publications to months using electronic, open access. The summaries and exercises in this paper are from presentations during the pilot training, which were assessed and recommended by student …
