Under the current dynamic business environment, the corporate knowledge resources are becoming more complicated and diverse. In order to manage these resources effectively, it is necessary to develop an integrative metaschema which accommodates various characteristics of the resources. From this perspective, this paper proposes an integrative metaschema which can manage three types of knowledge resources: schematic model, hypermedia information, and document file. This metaschema can help store and reuse knowledge in a systematic and consistent way. Furthermore, it can support useful and flexible search logics. To demonstrate the usefulness of the metaschema, a prototype system and a real-life bank case are illustrated.
