Digital libraries in knowledge management: an e-learning case study

摘要

Knowledge and libraries - this conceptual symbiosis is as old as the idea of libraries itself: libraries collect artifacts of explicated knowledge and make them available for building up new knowledge in all areas of everyday life. Learning and qualification management support are further essential links in the knowledge supply chain, which starts at the expert knowledge of an author and ends at the targeted enhancement of another person's individual knowledge. Digital libraries and e-learning systems are thus important enabling technologies for the knowledge supply chain in the digital age. The e-Qualification project presented in this paper combines digital library, e-learning, and authoring support into an adaptable qualification management framework that provides integrated support and mediation for the various stakeholders involved in the qualification management process.
