A work-in-progress platform for solving knowledge sharing issues in organizations

In this paper, we propose a knowledge sharing platform based on the technology of ontology and agent, in order to solve the issues in the knowledge sharing activities within organizations. Based on the analysis of literature, the issues within current organizational knowledge sharing activities and knowledge sharing technologies are explored. By means of the literature analysis, we present a new definition of knowledge sharing in the context of organizational environment. Against these issues, our research objectives are delivered, and potential research effects are indicated. After that we choose a research approach and propose the conceptual model of our knowledge sharing platform. Finally we state the progress of our current research work, make conclusions and plan further works.
