Abstract: It is important for running an organization to support learning for knowledge acquisition and creation and to encourage spread and inheritance of new knowledge on the proper understanding of relations between individuals and organizations. This paper presents ontology-based framework of information systems for knowledge management focused on a learning system in organization. Major characteristics of this framework are derived from "Ontology" which is used as an index of knowledge and "Dual loop model" which represents the flow of knowledge in an organization. Since these two things enable the framework to grasp the meaning of knowledge and the progress of organizational learning, it can provides appropriate support for knowledge management Then we will introduce two systems as concrete exam-ples, namely a knowledge management support environment: Kfarm and a learning contents design envi-ronment: iDesigner.
