Abstract of Dr. Kang's Invited Talk

The knowledge service platform is considered as one of key technologies in moving toward knowledge society from information society. In this talk, he will focus on issues in the nature of knowledge as the target resources of this platform. There are two different types of knowledge, ‘by description’ and ‘by acquaintance’. He will call the former as knowledge information’ and the latter as ‘live knowledge’. ‘Live knowledge’ is found from domain experts when they solve a problem or make a decision for a specific situation. ‘knowledge information’ is usually generated by human experts who has ‘live knowledge’ when they are asked to explain how they solve problems. 
‘Knowledge’ in most knowledge service platforms is ‘knowledge information’ and some systems have a human network function like ‘Q&A’ to share ‘live knowledge’. The research and development for knowledge service platforms have focused on managing ‘knowledge information’ since the introduction of knowledge management systems later 1990s and people do not realize yet that this is a major cause of failures in most KMS systems in industries. In knowledge society, without the solution for ‘live knowledge’, the knowledge service systems only can provide ‘knowledge information’ and the future of knowledge service systems is not very bright. 
In this talk, he will review some of AI technologies and their strength and weakness to be used as a tool for ‘live knowledge’ for knowledge service platforms. Also he will review the relationship between two different types of knowledge and how they should be balanced.
