Knowledge management through the development of information schema

Knowledge management (KM) has been receiving considerable attention in the human–systems research community in the past few years. This paper discusses the key concepts of user–computer interaction for knowledge development and proposes a model of an information schema. Such an information repository for KM must be organized into a domain schema. Users of an information repository play an active role in searching through information to coordinate their actions. An example of information schema for KM can be found in a student advising system. This will be used to illustrate the concept of the development of an information schema.
