The research on knowledge management and knowledge portal framework based on agent mechanism

With the fast development of information techniques, the problem of processing and transferring information with low efficiency is improved. But another problem is arising, in which the scarcity of knowledge and the creating ability for knowledge become the bottlenecks of the social and economic development. The concept of knowledge management (KM) is presented to improve the organization and utilization of information and knowledge. The concept of knowledge management and the difference between KM and information management (IM) are studied in the paper. After analyzing and extracting the key problem in KM, the concept of a knowledge portal is presented. A knowledge portal framework based on an agent mechanism is presented with further analysis on the function demand of the knowledge portal. The primary analysis and design of the function and structure of the framework are introduced and the general structure of agent is proposed
