The purpose of this paper is to identify the usefulness of Weblog genre analysis in knowledge creation within an organization where communications are occurred frequently among the employees with information and communication technologies (ICTs). Knowledge creation is essential to achieve competitive advantage in today’s knowledge-oriented working environments. There has been huge investment on knowledge management systems to achieve such advantages. It is, however, widely recognized that distributed knowledge management systems often fail due to the different social contexts across the sub-organizations where the local information systems are deployed. It is important to coordinate such social gaps across the sub-organizations to achieve better advantages. Given that Weblogs users often feel a shared social norm, Weblogs play a positive role of narrowing the social gaps. This paper argues that the genre analysis of Weblogs could provide important clues to narrow the social gaps existed across the sub-organizations within an organization. Hence, such taxonomical practice may be a solution for the high rate of failure in knowledge management system implementations in an organization. This paper uses the theory of organizational knowledge creation (Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995) and social construction of technology (SCOT) approach (Bijker, 1995) to compare the socialized with the non-socialized integration of distributed information systems. The findings of this research provide a useful framework for better implementing knowledge management practices especially in distributed working environments.

Cue words and phrases of critical sentences, Paradigms knowing the critical information between sentences, Rules extracting the sentences contained critical information and producing the critical sentences were made to construct the critical abstract of scholar journals in the web environment. The ontology aided to accomplish above works were designed, to manage and operate the cue words and phrases in documents and the symptoms related to Purpose, Method, Result, and Conclusion sentences. The results of performance test remarked to improve the advancement of extraction and production rules and the reinforcement of ontology's relationship.

This study investigated the main user types of the reading programs which are provided by sixty-two public libraries during September, “the Month of Reading,” in seven metropolitan cities, Seoul, Pusan, Daegu, Incheon, Daejeon, Gwangju and Ulsan. For the analysis, the data are collected from 622 programs of “the Month of Reading.” The content analysis method was used to analyze data and find meanings from it. The findings show, there are a little differences in the priority order of the main user types among the seven metropolitan cities, however, the children and all ages of the public libraries in seven metropolitan cities are identified as the main user types of the libraries.
