Distributed cooperative information system is the one that has various knowledge sources as well as problem solving capabilities to get information in a distributed and heterogeneous data environment. In a distributed cooperative information system. a control mechanism to facilitate the available information is very important. and usually the role of the control mechanism determines the behavior of the total system In this research. we proposed a model of the distributed cooperative information system which is based on the multi-agent paradigm. We also implemented a test system to show l its feasibility. The proposed system makes the knowledge sources into agents and a special agent called 'facilitator' controls the cooperation between the knowledge agents The facilitator uses the knowledge granularity level to determine the sequence of the activation of the agents. In other words. the knowledge source with simple but fast processing mechanism activates first while more sophisticated but slow knowledge sources are activated late. In an environment in which we have several knowledge sources for the same topic. the proposed system will simulate the focusing mechanism of human cognitive process.

This paper is concerned with the study of 'Knowledge Management', a paradigm of thought based on the idea that the future will be a knowledge-centered society. This paper also provides an overview of both 'what to manage' and 'how to manage' if an organization wants to develop in this environment. The process of 'Knowledge Management' begins with a decision. Presented with a myriad of information, of which we can't afford to obtain it all, what information is of value to the organization? Further, by systematically organizing not only the primary information but also that which was accumulated in the process, Knowledge Management is capable of suggesting a value-added plan of action. This research presents the necessary principles needed in order to successfully use Knowledge Management, specifically a harmony between the human and technological aspects. There cannot be a static solution to the problem, as the environment of the enterprise's problem is dynamic in nature. Throughout the process, the enterprise will constantly change its strategy and structure in order to adapt to variable knowledge, technology, strategy, regulations, consumer interest, etc... The essential constant of these problems is the importance of spending on education. Investments in educations help develope a infrastructure for Information Technology, the development of knowledge distribution strategies, and the creation of efficient Knowledge Management policy.

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the perception of informational professionals' knowledge sharing practices in social media platforms. The specific objectives of the study included learning professionals' perceptions and awareness of knowledge sharing using social media, understanding their opinions and beliefs, and gaining familiarity with and reasons for using these tools. Open & close ended web-based questions were sent out by email to the international training program (ITP) participants. Findings indicated that most of the respondents' were aware of using social media and that they used social media for knowledge sharing. Speed and ease of use, managing personal knowledge, easier communication with users and colleagues and powerful communication tool are the areas that motivated them to use it. It also stated some barriers like lack of support, familiarity, trust, unfiltered information and fear of providing information. The study was limited to the perceptual aspect of the issue, specifically from the individuals' opinions and sentiments.

This study is aimed at building up an Ontology to solve the discrepancy of terminologies between teachers and students by showing, through Ontology, the knowledge for diagnosis of underachieving students. Also this study makes it possible to infer the diagnosis based on information of these underachieving students. In addition, while a general Underachieving Students diagnosis system shows special diagnosis, this Ontology system helps users obtain correct concepts through this knowledge based system, and suggest building an Ontology to extend unclear conceptual knowledge to clearer ones.

As information technology had shown tremendous development in late 20th century, various service opportunities appeared in many industries. Also, new types of service are becoming available such as, reservation, teleconsultation, telemedicine. In health care industry, in which, many hospitals are faced operational difficulties and competing impetuously, a web site has become a effective tool to attract patients and transfer tremendous health information to the patients. This study is based on many previous researches on online service quality, try to figure out e-service quality factors of health information sites, and the factors' effect on users' satisfaction on the web site via providing knowledge and trust on the web site. As a result, usability, site aesthetic, responsiveness and security are the 4 factors to measure e-service quality of health information web site. All factors except site aesthetic have significant effects on providing knowledge, security only effects on trust on the web site.

Despite the importance of knowledge complementarities (KC) to firm performance, very little is known about exactly what constitutes KC and how synergistic knowledge is created in KC. This research looks into the dimensionality of KC and how synergistic knowledge as an essential component of KC is generated in a process innovation (PI) project. We propose that KC consists of potential complementary knowledge, collaborative elaboration (CE) process, and synergistic knowledge. The model is investigated quantitatively, using a sample of 26 matched-pairs of client and consultant who participated in a PI project, and then qualitatively using interviews of a sub-sample of 7 matched-pairs of client and consultant. Data were collected in a longitudinal way at four different points during the four month project period. Results show that consultant's learning about the client's business occurs first and then client learning about IT capabilities follows through CE. With this enhanced clients' knowledge about IT capabilities, clients play an initiative role in designing the To-Be business processes, while consultants play a supporting role by introducing best practices or making suggestions based on their experiences. Future research implications as well as practical implications are also discussed.

Generation and analysis methods have been proposed in recent years, such as using a natural language and formal language processing, artificial intelligence algorithms based knowledge model is effective meaning. its semantic based knowledge model has been used effective decision making tree and problem solving about specific context. and it was based on static generation and regression analysis, trend analysis with behavioral model, simulation support for macroeconomic forecasting mode on especially in a variety of complex systems and social network analysis. In this study, in this sense, integrating knowledge-based models, This paper propose a text mining derived from the inter-Topic model Integrated formal methods and Algorithms. First, a method for converting automatically knowledge map is derived from text mining keyword map and integrate it into the semantic knowledge model for this purpose. This paper propose an algorithm to derive a method of projecting a significant topic map from the map and the keyword semantically equivalent model. Integrated semantic-based knowledge model is available.

Knowledge information resources produced by policy research institutes were categorized into knowledge information resources derived from research processes, knowledge information resources derived from research results, and knowledge information resources processed from research results, respectively. The names of these knowledge information resources and the metadata items were investigated on 13 policy research institute websites. In addition, the study examined the provision status of 8 Knowledge information resources specialized by type on the websites and confirmed that they work as knowledge resource management systems for each corresponding area. The results of the study suggest constructing a collective search system for research results based on the same research topics, developing a knowledge map of policy information, compressing reports for policy makers, building subject expert databases, producing video reports, developing metadata standards, and creating statistical databases and indicators by subject areas.

The purpose of this study are as follows : First, This study conceptually provide an insight of reasons that organizations seek to create, acquire, store and distribute knowledge at the level of an organization and of process how they can transform or evolve to knowledge based organizations. Second, this study confirms examine what theories can be used to knowledge management, how such theories can be useful to analyse knowledge management and provide a theoretical foundation for knowledge management research. Applied to the theories of knowledge based and resource based view and institutional theory, the essence of knowledge management confirms that the organization finds job-related knowledge and know-how retained by individual of organizational members systematically and shares common knowledge within the organization and explains knowledge creation, multi-dimensional knowledge transition and share in all dimension of individual, group, and organization. As a result of comparative analysis of theory of organizational knowledge creation theory, In knowledge management, building of knowledge-creative culture, transitional process of explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge, knowledge creation and knowledge operation are important. In the basis on these study results, we discussed how the organizational knowledge creation theory can be used to manage knowledge in the organization, and also proposed hypotheses based on some arguments against the universal acceptance of the theory.

While past knowledge management researches have focused on conceptualization and strategic implications, knowledge asset researches attempt to provide practical guidelines for companies. However, each research classifies knowledge asset from its own perspective, and thus it is not a trivial task to leverage consistent and inclusive criteria in managing corporate knowledge asset. The objective of this paper is to develop a knowledge asset classification schema on the basis of the three business functions: customer relationship management, product innovation, and infrastructure management. To demonstrate the feasibility of our schema, it has been applied to 9 Korean corporations. Knowledge assets are evaluated according to core capabilities, which are main drivers of sustainable competitive advantages. The results of case study show that the leveraged classification schema reflects current knowledge asset management and characteristics of corporations. Our finding is that most top-quality knowledge management corporations are likely to develop well-balanced knowledge asset.
