Toward a Common System Architecture for Knowledge Mapping

Abstract

Development of applications in knowledge mapping requires a system architecture approach to be able to explain conceptual models that define structure, behaviour and view of the system. There are many system architectures that are made for knowledge mapping but are very diverse, and there are no general guidelines that help a scholar used as references in making them. Therefore this research proposes a universal architectural system that can be used to create a knowledge mapping system. With the literature study method and content analysis on the system architecture used in previous studies, this study proposes four layers which can generally conduct in creating architectural systems, namely: Acquisition layer, database layer, knowledge mapping process layer and user interface layer.
