Abstract: One of the key themes in knowledge management today is the role of communication technology in the transfer of knowledge between those who have it and those who don't. It is widely acknowledged that knowledge has two dimensions. One is explicit and another is tacit. Only explicit knowledge is the province of communication technology, including the information system by which people informally share their experience and the more formal repositories in which structured knowledge is stored for later reuse. Although knowledge reuse has been observed and researched under many different names in many different settings, findings about knowledge reuse have remained relatively dispersed and un-integrated. One possible explanation is that knowledge reuse is seen as a unitary phenomenon—pretty much the same regardless of who does it, how, and why. However, despite the traditional image of knowledge reuse, web-based technology provides services for boosting knowledge reuse.
Based upon empirical data of knowledge reuse, the structure of applying web-based service was identified. Activities for implementation were designed and illustrated according to knowledge reuse. The impacts of web-based service on knowledge management were also discussed.
