Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to describe a Knowledge management system (SGAC- Active Knowledge Management System) and an e-learning system that have been developed to manage the knowledge generated inside a research project, to transfer this knowledge from the research project to society and, moreover, to facilitate the e-learning tasks. This paper approaches the problem of knowledge transfer from a case study angle. The systems are implemented in “The Multidimensional City” which is a multi-disciplinary research project that promotes the development and implementation of Spanish technological innovation in underground construction. The SGAC system aims at achieving full integration of large set of contents created in research projects related to underground construction sites. Then, the project has developed several types of metadata for tagging and enriching contents. All this enriched information becomes the base of different e-learning courses in underground construction, promoti
ng an updated education in this knowledge area and the dissemination of the results generated in the research project. These courses are accessible from an interactive e-learning platform.
