“…Through the exploration of the underlying factors and their use by particular sectors, the study is one of the kind that determines how these factors are optimally utilized to rate the performance of the employees, effectiveness of the organization, and creation of a culture of knowledge sharing as well as dissemination within higher education (Yasir et al, 2017). Research findings reiterate the importance of the role of higher education institutions in the creation as well as dissemination of knowledge and their contribution to societal development (Adhikari & Shrestha, 2023).…”

The current study examines the influence of trust as knowledge management enabler on organizational effectiveness via organizational culture. The study collected quantitative data from the 487 teaching and non- teaching faculty working in public sector universities in Punjab, Pakistan. Analysing the data using structural equation modeling in Mpus (8.10), the study found that all the proposed hypotheses were supported. The study extends literature on different streams such as knowledge management enablers, organizational culture and organizational effectiveness and offers valuable practical insights for policy makers and university management to effectively create, disseminate and manage knowledge.

“…Classification systems intend to organize the knowledge for information storage and retrieval purposes mostly in libraries [29]. With these types of systems, users are able to browse through the collection for their content of interest without prior knowledge of its existence [30]. Later, they were converted to computer formats that created digital libraries, which provided the search and find service online.…”

Knowledge organization and development of better information retrieval techniques were of great importance from a very early time period in human history. The need has grown high for such systems with the advent of digitization and the web era. Computer systems and web have offered easier retrieval of information in almost no time. However, as the amount of data increased, these systems were not able to work well in terms of accuracy and precision of retrieval. Semantic Web concept was introduced to overcome the issue by converting the web of documents to a web of data. Semantic Web technologies makes data machine-understandable so that information retrieval can be more precise and accurate. The Cultural Heritage (CH) community, with the goal of preserving and dissemination of the historical information to people and society, is one of the first domains to adopt Semantic Web recommendations and technologies, which can provide interoperability between various organizations by creating a shared understanding in the community. The data in the CH domain differs widely with types and formats. Also, a lot of organizations and experts from various fields interact through different processes within this community. Due to the mentioned needs, the CH community employed Semantic Web technologies step by step along its evolution process for better knowledge management and a uniform understanding among the community. In this study, we present a comprehensive conceptual framework that spans cultural heritage, information modeling, and information retrieval. Our model addresses early solutions in knowledge organization systems, highlighting the evolution from classification systems and controlled vocabularies to the significance of metadata schemas. We delve into the limitations of traditional knowledge organization systems and the necessity of formal ontologies, particularly in the cultural heritage domain. The comparative analysis of CRM vs. EDM, ontology-based metadata interoperability, and ontology technologies elucidate our contributions to the field. This paper outlines the process from the initial steps of adopting Semantic Web technologies in the CH domain to the latest developments in CH information retrieval. In this paper, we also reviewed intelligent applications and services developed in the CH domain after establishing semantic data models and Knowledge Organization Systems. Finally, challenges and possible future research directions are discussed. The findings revealed that GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) are excellent and comprehensive sources of CH information. The CH community has put in a lot of time and effort to develop data models and knowledge organization tools; now it's time to use this valuable resource to construct smart applications that are still in their early phases. This could benefit the CH industry even more.

“…Sustainability practices is described by scholars in different ways, and each scholar has their own perspective. For instance, Adhikari and Shrestha (2022) view Enactus sustainability practices as actions that satisfy current demands without jeopardising the well-being of future generations. Bina (2013) describes sustainable practices of Enactus as strategies that support conservation of limited resources, thus solving the basic economic and ecological problems of society.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the contribution of Enactus sustainability initiatives to youth empowerment and community development, thus analysing how South African higher education institutions can increase student involvement in Enactus projects across all faculties. Design/methodology/approach Using a systematic literature review approach, the authors searched the Web of Science database for 47 relevant studies, which were found and filtered using the search parameters, and then 33 articles that are strictly relevant to the main topic were chosen as the final corpus. Findings The authors found that Enactus facilitates community progress through transformative innovations and students gain valuable skills that increase their employability regardless of their field of study. Research limitations/implications The focus of this study is confined to scholarly evidence acquired from peer-reviewed journals, hence empirical studies could be conducted by using literature from books, theses, bulletins, government white papers and gazettes. Practical implications These findings highlight several merits of Enactus skill-based training such as learning-by-doing, learning from failures and learning from entrepreneurs. Social implications The study findings offer compelling evidence that student transformational innovations could facilitate sustainable development within communities. Originality/value Despite the crucial contribution of Enactus projects to nation-building worldwide, literature on this phenomenon in the context of South Africa is limited.
