Knowledge management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
Knowledge management (KM) comprises a range of strategies and practices used in an organisation to identify, create, represent, distribute, and enable adoption of insights and experiences.[ Such insights and experiences comprise knowledge, either embodied in individuals or embedded in organisations as processes or practices. - Thomas Page

Two primary meanings are sentience http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , which is the capacity for mental EXPERIENCE and self-awareness, which is the capacity to be aware of one’s awareness. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... 8 -12 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://www.sci-con.org/2004... - Thomas Page

A traditional Native American vision quest consists of a person spending one to four days and nights secluded in nature. This provides time for deep communion with the fundamental forces and spiritual energies of creation and self-identity. During this time of intense spiritual communication a person can receive profound insight into themselves and the world. This insight, typically in the form of a dream of Vision, relates directly to their purpose and destiny in life. - Thomas Page

Cognitive dimensions or cognitive dimensions of notations[1][2] are design principles for notations, user interfaces and Programming languages, described by researchers Thomas R.G. Green and Marian Petre. The dimensions can be used to evaluate the usability of an existing information artifact, or as heuristics to guide the design of a new one. Cognitive dimensions are designed to provide a lightweight approach to analysis of a design quality, rather than an in-depth, detailed description. They provide a common vocabulary for discussing many factors in notation, UI or programming language design. Also, cognitive dimensions help in exploring the space of possible designs through design maneuvers, changes intended to improve the design along one dimension. - Thomas Page
List of the cognitive dimensions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... Thomas Green originally defined 14 cognitive dimensions: Abstraction gradient What are the minimum and maximum levels of abstraction exposed by the notation? Can details be encapsulated? Closeness of mapping How closely does the notation correspond to the problem world? Consistency After part of the notation has been learned, how much of the rest can be successfully guessed? Diffuseness / terseness How many symbols or how much space does the notation require to produce a certain result or express a meaning? Error-proneness To what extent does the notation influence the likelihood of the user making a mistake? Hard mental operations How much hard mental processing lies at the notational level, rather than at the semantic level? Are there places where the user needs to resort to fingers or penciled annotation to keep track of what’s happening? Hidden dependencies Are dependencies between entities in the notation visible or hidden? Is every dependency indicated in both directions? Does a change in one area of the notation lead to unexpected consequences? Juxtaposability Can different parts of the notation be compared side-by-side at the same time? Premature commitment Are there strong constraints on the order with which tasks must be accomplished? Are there decisions that must be made before all the necessary information is available? Can those decisions be reversed or corrected later? Progressive evaluation How easy is it to evaluate and obtain feedback on an incomplete solution? Role-expressiveness How obvious is the role of each component of the notation in the solution as a whole? Secondary notation and escape from formalism Can the notation carry extra information by means not related to syntax, such as layout, color, or other cues? Viscosity Are there in the notation any inherent barriers to change? How much effort is required to make a change to a program expressed in the notation? This dimension can be further classified into the following types:[3] 'Knock-on viscosity' : a change in the code violates internal constraints in the program, whose resolution may violate further internal constraints. 'Repetition viscosity' : a single action within the user’s conceptual model requires many, repetitive device actions. 'Scope viscosity' : a change in the size of the input data set requires changes to the program structure itself. Visibility How readily can required parts of the notation be identified, accessed and made visible? Other dimensions[edit] In addition to the above, new dimensions are sometimes proposed in the HCI research field,[4] with different levels of adoption and refinement. Some of these candidate dimensions include creative ambiguity (does the notation encourage interpreting several meanings of the same element?), indexing (are there elements to guide finding a specific part?), synopsis ("gestalt view" of the whole annotated structure) or unevenness (some creation paths are easier than others, which bias the expressed ideas in a developed artifact). - Thomas Page
UIs ? } The authors identify four main user activities with interactive artifacts: incrementation [creation], transcription, modification and exploratory design. Each activity is best served by a different trade-off in the usability on each dimension. For example, a high viscosity (resistance to change) is harmful for modification and exploration activities, but less severe for the one-off tasks performed in transcription and incrementation. - Thomas Page
