Abstract

The K-Link initiative concerns a Knowledge Management (KM) solution for Central Asian institutions committed to Sustainable Land Management (SLM) and Natural Resource Management (NRM) projects implementation in the framework of international development cooperation. It supplies a technical solution based on the use of a distributed network in which all data and information remain stored on each institution’s server and can be accessed from each institution’s website without the need to create a central hub. Plugged into pre-existing content management platforms that run at the end-users institutions side, K-Link extends those systems with information retrieval, management and sharing features. One of the main issues regarding the sharing of documents in the Central Asian context actually regards motivations for sharing. In fact the trigger for information sharing in Sustainable Land Management in Central Asia (SLM) is given by the management of information. This principle verified and tested with the participant institutions led to the resolution to design and implement a specific Document Management System (K-DMS) in order to allow end users to get to know the sharing features of K-Link as special cases of more general information management ones. The K-DMS represents computer-based environment for the production and sharing of knowledge artifacts.
