Abstract

ABSTRACT “How can drinking water sources be protected, and how can one learn from others who have faced similar problems?” These questions are becoming increasingly relevant in a context where anthropogenic activities threaten natural resources. We describe in this paper a knowledge acquisition and modelling process to support complex decision-making related to source water protection. We conducted online surveys, interviews and applied thematic analysis to gather and structure knowledge from documented and undocumented sources. Our process resulted in structured descriptions of cases that consist of past problems and their implemented solutions. Case design was based on know-how and knowledge needs expressed by water stakeholders. The case base forms the backbone of a knowledge-based recommender system prototype that implements case-based reasoning. It is meant to guide decision-makers in developing solutions based on past experiences. It is a successful application of knowledge management and sharing of lessons learned for decision-making in practice.

基于案例推理的水源水保护解决方案推荐系统：知识获取和建模

摘要“如何保护饮用水源，如何向面临类似问题的人学习？”在人类活动威胁自然资源的背景下，这些问题变得越来越重要。我们在本文中描述了一个知识获取和建模过程，以支持与水源水保护相关的复杂决策。我们进行了在线调查、访谈和应用主题分析，从有记录和无记录的来源收集和构建知识。我们的流程产生了对案例的结构化描述，这些案例包括过去的问题及其实施的解决方案。案例设计基于水资源利益攸关方表达的专门知识和知识需求。案例库构成了基于知识的推荐系统原型的主干，该原型实现了基于案例的推理。它旨在指导决策者根据过去的经验制定解决方案。这是知识管理的成功应用，也是在实践中分享决策经验教训。

期刊介绍： Knowledge management is a term that has worked its way into the mainstream of both academic and business arenas since it was first coined in the 1980s. Interest has increased rapidly during the last decade and shows no signs of abating. The current state of the knowledge management field is that it encompasses four overlapping areas: •Managing knowledge (creating/acquiring, sharing, retaining, storing, using, updating, retiring) •Organisational learning •Intellectual capital •Knowledge economics Within (and across) these, knowledge management has to address issues relating to technology, people, culture and systems.
