Our platform is intended to help pilot a smooth transition into a sustainable administration, help to boost rural services through digital innovation, and, in general, reduce the gap concerning the city’s world. Although the platform has arisen around a community belonging to the European Alpine Space, the lessons learned can be easily transferred to other scenarios in which determining and improving the degree of smartness maturity of the rural communities is a critical challenge that can facilitate undertaking public or private investments. Our goal is to provide the necessary tools for collaboration and sharing experiences and data collection and analysis to enable the best possible informed decision-making concerning the promotion of smarter villages.","PeriodicalId":127309,"journal":{"name":"J.

The application of virtual reality technology in teaching is a qualitative leap in the development of educational informatisation. Based on the data collected from questionnaires and in-depth interviews, this paper studies the feasibility of applying virtual reality immersion teaching in primary and secondary school English teaching. On this basis, this paper attempts to combine virtual reality technology with immersion teaching, and make use of its diversity, flexibility, interactivity and other characteristics to prospect the realisation of virtual reality in English learning, and strive to explore a virtual reality immersion English teaching mode suitable for primary and secondary school children, so as to make up for the shortcomings of traditional language education and optimise the learning effect, It provides a feasible reference for the application of virtual reality technology in English teaching in the future.","PeriodicalId":127309,"journal":{"name":"J.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to analyse who contributes to the collaborative creation of GA and how they are involved in the collaboration process. We propose an approach that first employs factor analysis to identify editing abilities and then uses these editing abilities scores to distinguish editors. Then, we generate sequence of editors participating in the work process to analyse the patterns of collaboration. Without loss of generality, we use GA of three Wikipedia categories covering two general topics and a science topic to demonstrate our approach. The result shows that we can successfully generate editor abilities and identify different types of editors. Then we observe the sequence of different editor involved in the creation process. For the three GA categories examined, we found that GA exhibited the characteristic of highly scored content-shaping ability editors involved in the later stage of the collaboration process. The result demonstrates that our approach provides a clearer understanding of how Wikipedia GA are created through open collaboration.","PeriodicalId":127309,"journal":{"name":"J. Inf. Knowl.

This study provided empirical evidence that show differences in KS horizontally (peer-to-peer) and vertically (between direct-report and manager) within an organisation. By focussing on “socialization” adopted from the organisational knowledge creation theory, the iceberg theory and the competing values framework, we addressed an unexamined area within the body of knowledge. Survey data of 82 employees and interview data of 23 employees were analysed. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used to analyse the quantitative survey data. The qualitative interview data were analysed through content analysis. A triangulation design was then followed to merge the data through an equivalent status ([Formula: see text]) interpretation to derive meta-inferences. MANCOVA displayed a statistically significant interaction between OC and KS via socialisation. The triangulated results showed that OC types distinctly impacted KS via socialisation with differences between seeking, contributing and the direction of knowledge flow (vertical and horizontal). The empirical evidence shows that organisations must consider the direction of knowledge flow (vertical or horizontal) when enforcing cultural values to drive KS via socialisation. Similarly, researchers should not ignore the directional knowledge sharing paradigm, nor the organisational knowledge creation theory, when examining intra-organisational KS.","PeriodicalId":127309,"journal":{"name":"J.

A speech recognition device is installed on the intelligent robot as the hardware support for running the speech recognition method. The online English speech standard database is constructed to provide reference data for speech recognition. The real-time speech information is collected, and the speech signal is preprocessed by pre-emphasis, framing, windowing and other steps. According to the principle of speech signal generation, the features of speech signal are extracted, and the results of English speech recognition are obtained by similarity calculation and matching. Compared with the traditional recognition method, the experimental results show that the recognition rate of the optimised speech recognition method is improved by 1.3%, i.e. the recognition accuracy is improved.","PeriodicalId":127309,"journal":{"name":"J.

The primary purpose was to investigate the information collection, use, reflection and values of professionals in the GLAM sector to determine if wise actions occur that may potentially benefit the community. Methodology: A qualitative approach was used to conduct this research using the wise action model’s (WAM) wisdom characteristics. Data were collected from information professionals working in managerial positions in the GLAM sector using in-depth interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Results: The findings indicate that while most participants exhibit some elements of wisdom, there are gaps that need to be addressed before wise functioning is deemed applicable in their roles. While knowledgeable information acquisition and community engagement were very visible, more emphasis on values and stakeholder well-being is recommended for wiser considerations. Originality/Value: Study of wisdom certainly deserves more attention in knowledge management research as previous studies have indicated. With increasing stresses in the lives of professionals, it is now more important than ever to gain an understanding of how much wisdom prevails in organisational functioning to improve the works of individuals and consequently improve the well-being of impacted communities.","PeriodicalId":127309,"journal":{"name":"J.

The acquired information can then be transferred into knowledge for use, archiving, or sharing. This study investigates the information-seeking behaviour and knowledge transfer among food industry business (fbiz) owners in Kuwait, and how these differ across generations of fbiz owners. Eighteen interviews with 10 large fbiz owners from different generations were carried out. The study found that the information needs of fbiz owners changed at different stages of their business. For information seeking, fbiz members consult a variety of information sources, with the newer generation relying more on online sources than word-of-mouth. Both paper-and-computer-based archiving is used, but information loss remains a threat. Effective knowledge transfer requires better communication between generations and appropriate archiving systems. Each fbiz in Kuwait, irrespective of generation, is required to follow Islamic law. This study brings together the related but differing fields of information behaviour and knowledge management. Most importantly, it contributes two models—a family business information behaviour model and a family business knowledge retention and transfer model that would be useful to the research and practice of information behaviour and knowledge management in family businesses.","PeriodicalId":127309,"journal":{"name":"J.
