A knowledge management framework for the effective integration of national archive resources in China

Effectively integrating archive resources for their optimal utilization is becoming increasingly important. There is, however, a lack of studies on the mechanisms and frameworks for facilitating the integration of archival resources towards their optimal utilization. This paper proposes a knowledge management based framework for facilitating the optimal utilization of national archive resources through their effective integration in China. Such a framework can rearrange the role of knowledge management in collaboration to protect the value of national archive resources as the knowledge asset of a state. It can reengineer knowledge management activities in communication to share the value of national archive resources as the knowledge asset in a society. Furthermore, the framework can reconfigure knowledge management artifacts in connectivity to increase the value of national archive resources as the knowledge asset of the public. The framework takes the advantages of existed mechanisms on the integration of national archive resources to facilitate their optimal utilization. It can be used to guide the development of a national strategy for the integration of national archive resources to ensure the provision of public-centric knowledge services.
