Abstract
Knowledge in organization, supported by appropriate technology will produce organizational memories that provide necessary support for organization to learn and grow. As the scope of organizational memory in one organization is too broad, it is necessary to classify them into acceptable narrower view. Using organization memory computer base literature related, this study found some basic understanding of organization memory system, and produce knowledge taxonomy and metadata as a base to develop organizational memory system in IHL; Malaysia scenario. The taxonomy and metadata is developed base on pertinent literature of organizational memory system model, organizational memory sources types and knowledge management technology. Further study can be conducted to validate and verify the developed taxonomy.
