The document provides an overview of warehousing under customs in India. Some key points: - Goods can be deposited in public, private, or special warehouses licensed by customs authorities. - Goods remain warehoused for up to one year, though extensions are possible. Interest applies if goods remain over 90 days. - Owners can inspect, sort, manufacture, or deal with warehoused goods with permissions. - Goods can be cleared for home consumption or export upon payment of duties and permissions. - Provisions for transfer between warehouses, allowance for volatile goods, and consequences for improper removal are explained.

Right To Information Act 2005Ashish Kumar

The Right to Information Act 2005 aims to promote transparency and accountability by giving all Indian citizens the right to information. Key aspects include the right to inspect records, take notes and obtain copies of documents. Public authorities must publish information about their functions and processes, and designate Public Information Officers to provide information to requesters within defined timeframes. Exemptions exist for information that could harm national security or investigations. Citizens can appeal to Information Commissions if their requests are denied.

The document discusses India's Right to Information Act of 2005. It notes that the Act aims to promote transparency and accountability in government by giving citizens the right to access government information. It outlines what types of information can be accessed, including documents, records, samples, and electronic information. It also discusses exemptions to disclosure, such as information related to national security or that received in confidence. The Act established the Central Information Commission to hear complaints about non-compliance with information requests.

Right to information actRajesh Thakur

The Right to Information Act 2005 establishes a regime of transparency in India that overrides the Official Secrets Act. It gives Indian citizens the right to access information held by public authorities. The Act defines 'information' broadly and places obligations on public authorities to proactively disclose information. It also establishes procedures for citizens to request information, appeal rejections of requests, and penalties for non-compliance. The Act aims to promote transparency and contain corruption in governance.

DIKW Paradigm TodayEpistematica

DIKW modelSelf-employed

The DIKW model describes the hierarchy of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. Data are discrete facts, information provides context to data, knowledge comes from experiences and insights, and wisdom involves using knowledge to make well-informed decisions. For example, the time an incident is logged is data, the average time to close priority incidents is information, recognizing factors that impact closure times is knowledge, and determining solutions based on that knowledge is wisdom.

Knowledge managementSehar Abbas

This document provides an overview of knowledge management. It defines data, information, and knowledge and describes explicit and tacit knowledge. It discusses the history of knowledge management from the 1970s to present. It also outlines several common knowledge management models and describes the typical stages in the knowledge management life cycle including information mapping, storage, retrieval, use, and auditing. Finally, it discusses some key terms used in knowledge management.

About Wisdomdjfatbody

This document discusses the progression from data to wisdom. [1] Data is transformed into information through organization and patterns, information is transformed into knowledge through analysis and application, knowledge is transformed into intelligence through decision-making and skill, and intelligence is transformed into wisdom through accountability, foresight, and synthesis. [2] Knowledge provides the power to apply attributes critically or practically to make good decisions and balance execution with uncertainty. [3] Knowledge is important for both organizational adaptation and individual problem-solving.

The Future of Technology and InformationNick Finck

Evidence-driven design focuses on making sense of information by understanding relationships and patterns in data. As the cost of collecting and sharing data declines, transparency is increasing. However, simply having more accessible information does not equal wisdom; we must work to develop understanding from the data. Future technology will be less about finding information and more about making sense of what we find. Design will play a key role in helping people connect information to gain knowledge and wisdom. We should embrace failure as part of the learning process toward creating technologies and experiences that enhance comprehension.

2002 aera making decision support systems useful in the classroomChristopher Thorn

The document discusses improving school improvement processes through better use of decision support systems. It presents two models - an information seeking model and a decision making model - that can help administrators craft improvement processes. Sensemaking is identified as important as decision making. Needs assessment and data collection skills are areas that need strengthening. Rubric-based surveys could help educate schools and provide feedback on data acquisition, management, analysis and application capacities. The document provides examples of rubrics and recommendations for improving data access and use at both district and school levels.

Applying Corporate Knowledge ManagementTri Aji Nugroho

1) Colleges and universities have opportunities to apply knowledge management practices used in corporations to support their missions. 2) Knowledge management involves capturing both explicit knowledge found in documents and tacit knowledge held by individuals, and making it widely accessible. 3) Higher education institutions could benefit from knowledge management by improving decision making, reducing development cycles, and improving services through increased sharing of best practices and lessons learned.

Metastrucure of nursing informaticsengellyka

This document outlines different metastructures in nursing informatics including data, information, knowledge, and wisdom. It defines data as measurable facts without interpretation. Information is defined as data that has been interpreted and organized to acquire knowledge. Knowledge is information that has been learned through education and experience, providing understanding. Wisdom involves applying knowledge with insight and judgment to solve problems.

Managing Organization's KnowledgeGreenLeafInst

Knowledge management the ability of an organization to create, share and use the collective knowledge of its products, processes and people to increase workplace productivity and reduce activities that reinvent the wheel is being moved to the forefront of many corporate agendas. As firms seek to build competitive advantage in increasingly competitive markets, they are turning to a previously untapped resource: their employees’ knowledge.

This document discusses a knowledge dissemination model for sustainable agriculture production. The model focuses on participatory systems thinking involving common pool resources and users. It emphasizes collaboration, trust, communication and knowledge sharing through online channels and social networks to empower users and facilitate adaption, efficacy and positivity towards sustainable agriculture goals.

Maria CorpuzArk Group Australia Pty Ltd

Knowledge management (KM) deals with sharing lessons learned through databases, information management (IM) focuses on library services, and data management handles automation. KM involves validated data given meaning through experience, while information involves context and understanding. Intelligence applies knowledge through learning. Organizations approach these differently based on internal business units and external industry factors. Data quality, business intelligence, information security, and intellectual property are additional concerns for organizations.

Knowledge ManagementAKAGroup

This document discusses knowledge management and the evolution of approaches over time. It identifies three eras: 1) content management focused on capturing knowledge, 2) knowledge distribution focused on search and assisting work, and 3) knowledge consumption focused on transforming processes by leveraging networks. Most current approaches don't support collaborative work, instead information is siloed. The document proposes an optimal solution would unify information access, connecting people to people and people to information through a navigation and collaboration portal.

Taxonomy GovernanceChristine Connors

This document discusses the need to govern taxonomies and ontologies to ensure they remain up to date and effective as technologies, domains of knowledge, and user needs evolve. It describes what should be governed (concept labels, definitions, relationships, file formats), who should be responsible (taxonomists, SMEs, business stakeholders), and the workflow that should be followed (gathering inputs, scanning the environment, designing, developing, testing, and improving the taxonomy). Regular governance meetings are recommended to continually assess needs and make refinements. Having the right tools, expertise, and process in place from the start helps to properly develop and maintain taxonomies over time.
