Purpose – The idea that knowledge management can be a potential source of competitive advantage has gained strength in the last few years. However, a number of business actions are needed to generate an appropriate environment and infrastructure for knowledge…

This paper describes the implantation of a KA tool kit for use with sublanguage-specific corpora. The key idea of KA as an evolutionary process is discussed in detail. Special attention is paid to the system's attempt to avoid the pitfalls…

This paper proposes a process management system that enables new dynamic manufacturing models to be implemented. This system facilitates the automation of process modelling, thus reducing the workload for process engineers. To this end, it focuses on the incorporation of…

Purpose – Information and communication technologies have became pervasive in people’s lives and in this changing world education cannot remain anchored in old-fashioned models which ignore the evolution through which society is going. This paper seeks to present the gamble…

This paper discusses the recognition of textual entailment in a text-hypothesis pair by applying a wide variety of lexical measures. We consider that the entailment phenomenon can be tackled from three general levels: lexical, syntactic and semantic. The main goals…

In the present paper I describe the conceptual level of representation of a database, currently in development, which aims at fulfilling the Functional-Lexematic model. I will concentrate on the semantic component, as it is central for the theory of Functional…

In the last decade, advertising agency industry has experienced an enormous growth prompted by the structural and technological advances. According to The European Advertising and Media Forecast, from 1990 to 2000, in the assembly of the countries of the European…

This paper presents a proposal enabling the modelling of manufacturing processes independently of the structure and composition of the industrial plant where these processes will ultimately be implemented. The rationale for the proposal is in the incorporation of knowledge, supported…

El artículo desarrolla la temática de identidad profesional del Trabajo Social a partir de abordar los conceptos de tradición, historia, sentido, experiencia. Señala la presencia de la heterogeneidad en dicha construcción. Incorpora la categoría “identidad de frontera”, clave para comprender…

This paper describes the overall architecture of Episteme, a tool for the development of efficient LFG-based MT systems following the classical transfer approach. The
system incorporates a series of novel computational techniques which enhance the overall performance significantly: representation, storage…
