Abstract

Enterprises have turned explicit- and even conceptualising on tacit-Knowledge Management (KM) to elaborate systematic approach to develop and sustain Intellectual Capital needed to succeed. To do that, you have to visualise your organisation as consisting of knowledge and knowledge flows, whilst being presented in graphical and visual framework, referred as Automated Organisational Cartography (AUTOCART). Hence, creating the ability of further actively classifying existing organisational content evolving from and within data feeds, in an algorithmic manner, hence potentially giving insightful schemes and dynamics by which organisational know-how is visualised. It is discussed and elaborated on most recent and applicable definitions and classifications of KM, representing wide range of views from mechanistic (systematic, data driven) to those that are more socially (psychologically, cognitive/metadata driven) orientated. Our contribution is through AUTOCART, as a framework for transfer of knowledge, thus if implemented and mediated through mobile devices, such model facilitates Mobile Learning for knowledge workers.
