Due to the great negative impact, the construction industry needs to undergo a paradigm shift from traditional construction to sustainable construction. To reach the goal of sustainable development, the construction industry needs to intensify its efforts to move to a knowledge intensive mode. Based on the analysis of e-Cognos and the concept of ontology, this paper proposes that e-Cognos ontology can be applied in the development of sustainable construction process ontology, which is a key part of knowledge management system (KMS). Following this, the application process of ontology-based KMS is analyzed using IDEF0 modeling method. Finally, this paper analyzes interorganizational collaboration model in sustainable project.

Logistics Management System

For the stored data of E-commerce platform and modern logistics management system, which is very difficult to form knowledge’s continuity and inheritance, about its researches on the related fields are insufficient, so the paper proposes an idea of constructing E-commerce platform and modern logistics management system based on knowledge management platform. Moreover, for a practical example, the paper introduces its application.

Este artículo describe el desarrollo de una arquitectura funcional orientada a la Gestión de Conocimiento Personal (GCP), definido desde el concepto de las lecciones aprendidas que se registran en una red social de uso masivo. Esta arquitectura funcional aplica de forma práctica la implementación de un sistema de registro de las lecciones aprendidas personales, en la nube a través de una red social Facebook. El proceso inicia con la adquisición de datos a partir de la conexión a una base de datos no relacional (NoSql) en SimpleDB de Amazon Web Services y a la cual se le ha configurado un algoritmo de análisis complementario para realizar el análisis semántico de la información registrada de las lecciones aprendidas y de esta forma estudiar la generación de Gestión de Conocimiento Organizacional (GCO) desde GCP. El resultado final es el diseño de una arquitectura funcional que permite integrar la aplicación web 2.0 y un algoritmo de análisis semántico a partir de información no estructurada aplicando técnicas de aprendizaje de máquina.Palabras Claves: Gestión de conocimiento, gestión de conocimiento personal, lecciones aprendidas, análisis semántico, computación en la nube, redes sociales, aprendizaje de máquina.This paper shows the development of a functional architecture oriented Personal Knowledge Management (PKM), defined from the concept of lessons learned that are registered in a social network for mass use. This functional architecture applied in a practical implementation of a registration system for personal lessons learned in the cloud through a social network Facebook. The process begins with the acquisition of data from the connection to a non-relational database (NoSQL) in SimpleDB of Amazon Web Services and which you have set up a complementary analysis algorithm for semantic analysis of information recorded lessons learned and thus study the generation of Organizational Knowledge Management (OKM) from PKM. The final result is the design of a functional architecture that enables web 2.0 application integration and semantic analysis of an algorithm from unstructured information using machine learning techniques.Keywords: Management of knowledge, management of personal knowledge, lessons learned, semantic analysis, computing in the cloud, social networks.

Purpose Knowledge management (KM) is the central know how for the construction industry. However, the delivery of construction projects is often plagued by schedule delays and cost overruns due to lack of working knowledge of project personnel. Hence, the need to appraise the practices of knowledge management in the construction industry has become all the more germane. This paper aims to determine the awareness of KM practices in Malaysia-based construction small and medium enterprises, and to investigate the benefits, tools and techniques, and challenges associated with knowledge management implementation so that effective measures can be devised to address them. Design/methodology/approach The research data were gathered using a structured questionnaire survey disseminated in the Klang Valley region in Malaysia. Responses were collected from 107 industry practitioners. The quantitative data are subjected to descriptive statistics, and the ranking with category of significance of the hypothesised variables is determined using the relative importance index (RII) technique. Findings The key benefits of KM practices are predominantly raising efficiency, quality, productivity and decision-making. The most preferred KM techniques are “face-to-face interaction”, “mentoring” and “documents and reports”. The highly significant tools are “groupware” and “telephone”. The major organisational issue hampering the implementation of knowledge management practices is “lack of motivation” while the critical cultural issue is relating to “bureaucracy and hierarchical”, and the vital people issue concerns “lack of trust”. Research limitations/implications The respondents were limited to only small and medium construction enterprises located in the Klang Valley region in Malaysia, which makes generalisation challenging. Practical implications KM provides not only a pragmatic but also a proactive approach to raising the competitive edge and capabilities of a construction company. Identification of the critical attributes of KM provides the basis for project managers in formulating KM strategies to enhance the chances of successful delivery of future projects. Originality/value The study contributes to the debate on the knowledge agenda in the construction industry, particularly from a fast developing economy’s perspective, where an effective KM can further contribute to realising a reasonable level of competitiveness operation.
