The 17th International Conference on Knowledge Management was held in the historic city of Potsdam, Germany. Since the conference was among the first post-pandemic face to face conferences, the overall theme of the 17th edition of the ICKM conference rightly focused on “Knowledge, Uncertainty and Risks: From individual to global scale” at different levels of analysis and agency. This poster highlights the qualitative study which was conducted in a major regional hospital in Germany, using the FRAM to analyze the recurrent and complex process of surgical care preparation in the morning. The aim was to offer the hospital a detailed qualitative analysis to promote resilience and maintain a safe state of operating during this process. The FRAM illustrated relevant system functions and unveiled sources as well as effects or variabilities that are now in the process of being evaluated according to appropriate goals and values. In this way, the FRAM illuminates hidden but relevant knowledge, so to speak tacit knowledge, within a complex sociotechnical system that is difficult or impossible to identify otherwise.

Risk management is generally characterized by identification, assessment, and mitigation. In the literature on knowledge risk management (KRM), there appears to be much emphasis on taxonomies - which primarily focus on identification - and mitigation strategies, without particular attention to the evaluation phase of KRM. To address this gap, the present paper aims to systematically evaluate potential knowledge risks common at the operational level of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). More significantly, in SMEs, due to their flat structure, the majority of risk is borne by operational functions. This study adopts a quantitative approach by utilizing the grey-DEMATEL technique. The results of this study reveal outsourcing risks are the most critical of all operational knowledge risks followed by communication risks and improper knowledge application. Furthermore, it is observed the risks could be categorized into effect-risk (e.g. relational risk, espionage knowledge waste, continuity risk) and cause-risk (e.g. knowledge waste, risks related to knowledge gaps, risk of using obsolete/unreliable knowledge)

In Nova Scotia, the marginalization of African Nova Scotian learners in the public education system has led to an achievement gap, where their performance in terms of literacy and numeracy in annual assessments is often below the provincial average. This research aims to use machine learning to analyze student data collected by the Nova Scotia Department of Education and Early Childhood Development to provide evidence-driven insights into the schooling outcomes of African Nova Scotian students. We expect that these insights would enable the development of an equitable education system where African Nova Scotian students are able to achieve their maximum potential and overcome the barriers that they face at school. Through collaboration with the Regional Centers of Education, the Nova Scotia Department of Education and Early Childhood Development has been collecting data to track students’ education experiences. We aim to analyze this data using machine learning algorithms to identify learning patterns and promising school characteristics that would provide an understanding of how we can reduce the achievement gap that exists among African Nova Scotian students.

Organizations struggle to harness tacit knowledge – the knowledge that resides in the heads of knowledge workers, whereas there are always opportunities to capture knowledge during project management activities. Using a literature review, this paper analyzes how knowledge can be captured during different project management phases. It attempts to bridge frequently ignored areas of project management, knowledge management, and analytics.

Conference abstracts and project reports can be a valuable source for access to information on possible risks or experiences to build on. However, these collections are often not accessible in a convenient manner. This work explores the usage of knowledge graphs to support document discovery with an automated indexing approach. Therefore, an RDF/SKOS graph is built, consisting of nearly 1400 tagging labels manually extracted from literature on knowledge graphs and organized in a thesaurus structure. The feasibility is demonstrated with a small collection of texts from the domain of library IT. The graph is published online for further use (cf. https://w3id.org/kgcm/ ). This method may be usable to explore other knowledge domains. On the other hand, the graph-building process is both intellectually and technically demanding and needs support by an interplay of cooperative and mechanical processes in the future.

This paper examines social media users' self-disclosure.

Text summary has become a vital and more popular domain to preserve and highlight the core purpose of textual information as the amount of online information and resource texts has grown. Text summarization is the task of extracting key information from a text document. Text summarizing research in Afaan Oromoo is still rare and hasn't been thoroughly assessed. This study's primary goal was to evaluate the performance and method of extractive models on automatic extractive text summarization for Afaan Oromoo. Automatic Text summarization approaches can be classified as extractive or abstractive. Automatic abstractive text summarization was not included in this study. Existing automatic extractive text summarizing algorithms take key sentences from the source manuscript and provide a summary without changing the data. This paper examined and assessed some studies on the Afaan Oromoo Language Text Summarization system with a focus on methods and performance. In addition, the automatic extractive text summarization domain's challenges in Afaan Oromoo’s were also discussed. This paper used a systematic literature review method to examine the most recent literature in automatic extractive text summarization as it relates to the Afaan Oromoo language. We used a search engine, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, CiteseerX, peer-reviewed papers, and Academia to …

This paper presents the first results from an analysis of recent job advertisements from online platforms from English and German-speaking countries. The full texts of about 4100 job adverts carrying the terms “knowledge manager” or “knowledge management” either in in the job title or in the short description have been analyzed. The main research aim was to identify the most common KM job titles, providing a basis for further analysis of tasks and required competencies to compare the data samples. In particular, the research will address the following research questions: RQ1: What are the job titles used in job adverts related to KM? RQ2: Which tasks are mainly associated with different KM job titles (roles)? RQ3: Which competencies & skill sets are typically required in job adverts? This research inform KM practitioners and HR managers as well as the KM community about landscape of KM roles, main tasks and skills required on the labor markets in the German-speaking (AU, CH, DE) countries and three English-speaking (AUS, UK, USA) countries.
