The chapter presents the design of the prototype of knowledge-based decision support system for construction cost management.
By using Unified Modeling Language (UML), the model is implemented and developed into a prototype system of knowledge management for innovation.
Based on this integrated approach, a prototype of distributed knowledge management system for innovation is developed.
In epistemological terms, knower and known are the same, and this instance of unity serves as the prototype of all knowledge.
The prototype of such a knowledge management and reuse system has been developed and initially validated.
This paper provides the description of the prototype of a new knowledge specification language that we developed, to overcome these short-comings.
As a result, a prototype of an open knowledge-base system, which relies on the mainstream Linked Data technologies of the Semantic Web, was designed and created.
To iteratively design a prototype of a computerized clinical knowledge summarization (CKS) tool aimed at helping clinicians finding answers to their clinical questions; and to conduct a formative assessment of the usability, usefulness, efficiency, and impact of the CKS prototype on physicians' perceived decision quality compared with standard search of UpToDate and PubMed.
Recently, Capellari and De Stefano (2013, 2014), in a case study on university-owned and university-invented patents of two Italian universities, identified prototypes of different relational mechanisms of knowledge diffusion through patenting, embedding different rationales for the attribution of property rights.
To show the value of structured representations of data dealing with the issues related to the study of the structure of the bacterial ribosome, a prototype knowledge base of structural data pertaining to the 70S ribosome of Escherichia coli is build and named as "Ribosomal Experimental Knowledge Base" (RIBOWEB).
