Abstract

While the evolving high bandwidth information highways provide the infrastructure for attaining “physical connectivity” across computing resources and information systems, the “on/off” ramps to such highways are still at a primitive stage. Huge manual effort is currently expended to develop knowledge‐based paradigms that can effectively transcend national borders as well as other types of borders. This paper examines the prevailing situation from four perspectives: knowledge acquisition; knowledge discovery; knowledge management; and knowledge dissemination. Unlike current approaches that tend to focus on one aspect only, an integrated approach that attaches appropriate weightage to each of the four facets is emphasized in this paper.
