Abstract :
There is a wealth of research and studies related to Quran and its Sciences that are largely not available online. Usually researchers, in these fields, contact relevant and specific organizations for such information, if they become aware that such journals or proceedings are available/exist through those organizations. Therefore, in most cases thousands of research work tend to be shelved and not properly referenced for online use. This is the main reason why many Quran and Islamic related research works and studies are not well cited, and difficult to search or find online. This research paper presents the design concepts of a customized knowledgebase system that would be used as a knowledge management of research and studies in Quran and its related Sciences, named Quran Research Knowledge Base (QKB). The proposed knowledgebase system provides a mean for information to be collected, organized, and shared for the benefit of researchers as well as organizations, and government agencies. The knowledgebase content is categorized based on Quran and its related sciences research papers, conferences, books, post-graduate thesis and publications, web publishing, products, and other materials. The finalized knowledgebase system is integrated with other systems such as eConferences, online journals and other Virtual Learning systems. The methodology and procedures for populating the knowledgebase with authenticated and accurate content, are also presented.
