“…Kinds of KM models such as knowledge-based diagnosis model (Wang et al 2007), knowledge sharing model (Chen 2008), integrative KM model (Kanapeckiene et al 2010;Yin et al 2008), ontology-based design knowledge model (Gao et al 2011), and knowledge map model (Ping Tserng et al 2010;Yun et al 2011) were developed in succession. KM modeling is an indicator which suggests the primary maturity of KM theory in construction.…”

Knowledge management (KM) is important to the knowledge-intensive construction industry. The diversified and changing nature of works in this field warrants us to stocktake, identify changes, and map out KM research framework for future exploration. The study involves three aspects. First, three stages of KM research in construction were distinguished in terms of the time distribution of 217 target publications. Major topics in the stages were extracted for understanding the changes of research emphasis from evolutionary perspective. Second, the past works were summed up in a three-dimensional research framework in terms of management organization, managerial methodology and approach, and managerial objective. Finally, potential research orientations in the future were predicted to expand the existing research framework. It was found that (1) KM research has significantly blossomed in the last two decades with a great potential; (2) major topics of KM were changing in terms of technology, technique, organization, attribute of knowledge, and research objectives; (3) past KM studies centred around management organization, managerial methodology and approach, and managerial objective, thus a threedimensional research framework was proposed; (4) within the research framework, team-level, project-level, and firm-level KM were studied to achieve project, organizational, and competitive objectives by integrated methodologies of information technology, social technique, and KM process tool; and (5) nine potential research orientations were predicted corresponding to the three dimensions. Finally, an expanded J Knowl Econ research framework was proposed to encourage and guide future research works in this field. The paper only focused on the construction industry. The findings need further exploration in order to discover any possible missing important research works which were not published in English or not included in the time period. The paper formed a systematic framework of KM research in construction and predicted the potential research orientations. It provides much value for the researchers who want to understand the past and the future of global KM research in the construction industry.

Helping a company organize and capture the knowledge used by its employees and business processes is a daunting task. In this work we examine several proposed methodologies and synthesize them into a new methodology that we demonstrate through a case study of an electric power distribution company. This is a practical research study. First, the research approach for creating the knowledge map is process-oriented and the processes are considered as the main elements of the model. This research was done in four stages: literature review, model editing, model validation and case study. The Delphi method was used for the research model validation. Some of the important outputs of this research were mapping knowledge flows, determining the level of knowledge assets, expert-area knowledge map, preparing knowledge meta-model, and updating the knowledge map according to the company’s processes. Besides identifying, auditing and visualizing tacit and explicit knowledge, this knowledge mapping enables us to analyze the knowledge areas’ situation and subsequently help us to improve the processes and overall performance. So, a process map does knowledge mapping in a clear and accurate frame. Once the knowledge is used in processes, it creates value.

“…In the method, the self-organized map is extended to merge the other peers' documents visually. In order to construct the knowledge map for construction industry, the knowledge map model is constructed to build knowledge map, which includes five steps in the model [25]. The first step is to identify problems.…”

Abstract-Knowledge is the strategic resource for the organization. Knowledge map is an important tool for knowledge sharing. Providing the personalized knowledge map based on the preference of users can ease the burden of learning the knowledge map and facilitate the finding of the required knowledge. The tagging to documents reflects the user's preference of classification. In the paper, the approach to the personalized knowledge map construction based on the collaborative tagging is proposed. Firstly, the weight of the tag in documents is identified. Secondly, the similarity of users on the preference of classification is defined and then users that have the similar classification preference are identified to expand the current user's preference of personalized classification. Then the text vector of document and text similarity is identified. Afterwards, the knowledge is clustered according to both the personalized classification similarity and text similarity. Finally, the topics of each cluster are identified. In the topic identification, both the weight of the term in the text and the weight of the term in the tags are integrated. The experiment shows that proposed method is feasible and performs well.Index Terms-Knowledge map, knowledge management systems, personalized knowledge map.
