Research on Distributed Knowledge Base System Architecture for Knowledge Sharing of Virtual Organization

In this paper, an agent-based architecture is proposed to integrate distributed heterogeneous Knowledge Base. BBS is used as the public information exchange platform to implement an asynchronous uncoupling communication mechanism. A group of agents is deployed to every Knowledge Base node to complete users' retrieval requests through their autonomous behaviors and collaboration on the BBS. A unified extendable external interface is provided through which Knowledge information can be shared. Every kind of enterprise Knowledge Base can be integrated into the system while its physical structure and geographical distribution do not need any modification. The inter-connection among Knowledge Base using the agent-based distributed Knowledge Base architecture will bring great positive impact to the growing of Knowledge Base Systems.
