An Intellectual Genealogy Graph Affording a Fine Prospect of Organizational Learning

The word of “learning”, in a wide sense, is used as a part of the social system of education and it has been attracting researchers’ interest in our research area of educational systems. The goal of this research is to support creation and inheritance of organizational intellect, that is, “learning” in an organization. In this paper, we will propose an “Intellectual Genealogy Graph,” which is a model representing chronological correlation among persons, activities, and intellect in an organization. The intellectual genealogy graph is a basis of intelligent functions which is useful for surveying current learning conditions and clarifying the intellectual role of individuals, organizations, and documents in the organization.
