Anonymization Approach for Protect Privacy of Medical Data and Knowledge Management

The evolution and development of information and technology have facilitated greater sharing and knowledge management of the collection of electronic information provided by data owners, including governments, corporations, and individuals. Such owners create significant opportunities for knowledge management and information retrieval, thus improving decision-making.Correspondingly; the increase in the use of the Internet and its applications in various aspects of life has led to the need to secure data in the medical and research fields, in government offices, corporations, and individual agencies in various fields. Two questions are addressed in the present study. First, why is there an increasing demand for data sharing and knowledge management? This increasing demand is reflected in the rate of demand for data sharing (Figure 1), which is the base reference data for all users (Gardner and Xiong 2009; El Emam et al. 2011).
