Internet provides us with explosive information, and enables us to collect and distribute information conveniently as well. However, information has to be organized and be comprehended to become knowledge. For an enterprise, in addition to its information and knowledge maintained internally, public Internet provides good information sources for knowledge extraction as well. The Architecture for Knowledge Management provides a structure and operation guidance for such cohesive knowledge management mechanism with comprehensive knowledge sources.
Information can be obtained through data
processing, and knowledge can be obtained through information processing. The
conversion from data to information usually doesn’t need to consider the
information receivers. However, the conversion from information to knowledge
has to consider the knowledge receivers. Knowledge to one person can be only
information to another. In other words, information is target less, while
knowledge has target and beholder. Therefore, for information to become
knowledge, we have to interpret them for its targeted audience. In this
regards, enterprise architecture is helpful in identifying the sources and
targets for knowledge management. The architecture for knowledge management
covers mainly three components: 1) knowledge capture, 2) knowledge management,
and 3) knowledge distribution.
