The research on the platform for process-oriented enterprise content management and knowledge integration

Recently, interests in the notion of process-oriented knowledge management (PKM) from academia and industry have been significantly increased. Comprehensive research and development requirements along with a cogent framework, however, have not been proposed for process-oriented ECM and Knowledge integration. Based on a comprehensive framework that reflects lifecycle requirements of ECM, this paper discusses the platform for process-oriented ECM and Knowledge Integration which integrating people, process and place for enterprise through combining the advantages of both knowledge management systems (KMS) and business process management systems (BPMS). The architecture, which is comprehensive since it is derived from the extended requirements from the lifecycle perspective, will provide a basis for research and development of process-oriented enterprise content management and knowledge platform. The paper also presents a prototype system that demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed architecture.
