The NASA Knowledge Management Team will hold its 2008 annual meeting and workshop July 15-17, in Pasadena, CA. All NASA personnel interested in or working in the field of Knowledge Management are welcome.
OVERVIEW
Day 1 is reserved for briefings from each participating NASA Center and Mission Directorate regarding their Knowledge Management activities. The afternoon will focus on benchmarking activities. Days 2 and 3 will be a workshop devoted to Search Architecture and Knowledge Architecture, beginning with an Overview and a Keynote Speaker. Attendees may opt to participate in one of the two topics. The Workshops will continue on Day 3, and the meeting will conclude with a discussion of tasks and priorities for the next year.
FOCUS
The 2008 workshop will include interactive discussions regarding specific tasks the group wants to take on and accomplish as a team.
