Digital Government: COPLINK Center: Information and Knowledge Management for Law Enforcement

电子信息管理与知识管理的问题许多政府机构所面临的信息和知识管理问题，源于信息的内容和格式所造成的获取和利用障碍。 这些问题使得信息（最终是知识）的创造和利用变得复杂而艰巨。 新的知识管理技术已经开始出现在一些不同的应用程序和组织中，如虚拟企业、合资企业、航空航天工程和数字图书馆。 然而，一直没有系统的尝试，研究的技术，社会和管理的基础，理论和方法的知识管理，可以采用在各种社会和工业环境。 COPLINK卓越中心旨在实现以下两个目标：1）开发知识管理系统技术和方法，适用于在社会和组织环境中捕获，分析，可视化和共享执法相关信息。 这种研究的基础将扎根于信息检索，计算语言学，信息可视化，人工智能，多媒体系统，多代理系统和电信。 2)研究组织、社会、文化和方法的影响以及各组织为最大限度地利用执法机构在信息和知识管理方面的投资而需要进行的变革。 这种研究的学术基础将以社会信息学、决策理论、传播理论、认知心理学以及管理和组织研究为基础。

EIA-9983304Chen, HsinchunUniversity of ArizonaDigital Government: COPLINK Center: Information and Knowledge Management for Law EnforcementThe information and knowledge management problems facing many government agencies stem from barriers to access and utilization resulting from the content and format of information. These problems make information (and eventually knowledge) creation and utilization and complex and daunting process. New knowledge management technologies have started to emerge in a number of different applications and organizations, such as virtual enterprising, joint ventures, aerospace engineering and digital libraries. However, there has been no systematic attempt to study the technical, social and managerial foundation, theory and methodology of knowledge management that can be adopted in various social and industrial contexts. The COPLINK Center for Excellence aims to achieve the following two goals: 1) Develop knowledge management systems technologies and methodology that are appropriate for capturing, analyzing, visualizing and sharing law enforcement related information in social and organizational contexts. The basis of such research will be grounded in information retrieval, computational linguistics, information visualization, artificial intelligence, multimedia systems, multi-agent systems, and telecommunications. 2) Study of organizational, social, cultural and methodological impacts and changes that organizations need to make to maximize and leverage on a law enforcement agency's investments in information and knowledge management. The academic foundation for such research will be based on social informatics, decision theory, communication theory, cognitive psychology and managerial and organizational research.
