Knowledge Architecture Framework based on Zachmans Enterprise Architecture Framework

Abstract

During the last fifteen years, knowledge management has changed through new perspectives and enhancements from generation to generation. Numerous researchers have presented research methodologies, frameworks and technologies and have discussed various theoretical and practical knowledge management issues. However, knowledge management is still in need of improvement and has not yet reached its maturity. This paper assesses the common research grounds between knowledge management and Zachmans enterprise architecture framework. Applied research is carried out using descriptive surveys. Information was gathered by using questionnaires filled out by knowledge management and enterprise architecture experts. Finally, a knowledge architecture framework was designed according to Zachmans framework.
