Organizational Knowledge Architecture: in the Perspective of Knowledge Ecology

This study aims at suggesting an integrative methodology for knowledge architecture in organizations. First, we investigate the different views and perspectives given by various researchers and put them together to give a holistic architecture of knowledge ecology. Knowledge ecology provides a conceptual framework to consider knowledge resources, the process of knowledge, and the space of knowledge within a multidimensional context. To establish the platform for the practice of knowledge architecture, we propose the application of knowledge portal in organizations.
