Knowledge base cloud – a new approach to knowledge management systems architecture

Abstract

This article aims at identifying the limitations of current approaches to knowledge management systems architecture creation and proposing innovative solutions on handling with the emerging issues of the existing methodologies. These findings should encourage the more effective handling with the created knowledge and initiate new knowledge creation with the support of the intelligent tools and systems forming the knowledge management cloud. The authors have proposed a new approach to the knowledge management systems architecture. This principle named knowledge management cloud is defined in the article including its typical characteristics and basic compounds. Finally the knowledge management cloud implementation model is introduced to help the companies with adopting this new principle into their information systems architecture and management.
