THE USE OF KNOWLEDGE BANK TECHNOLOGIES AND SERVICES PROVIDED FOR THE FIELD OF DEFENSE, PUBLIC ORDER AND NATIONAL SECURITY.

The knowledge-based society, in which knowledge is more and more accessible due to the rapid advancement of the IT, needs quick solutions for documentation. Taking into account the progressive development of the documentation needs in different fields, both at the organisational and individual level, we have thought of presenting several issues concerning the use of technologies and services provided by a knowledge bank for defence, public order and national security field. In this paper, we will make a short introduction of the above-mentioned knowledge bank, followed by brief research of a pilot study in which we have meant to analyse the way its usefulness is perceived. Having this in mind, we have researched the perception of the technologies and services offered by it, by means of an online questionnaire, which actually served as a way to establish the level of being acquainted with the technology of the mentioned field. We should also mention the fact that the presented research study is meant to make users aware of the knowledge in the sector of knowledge banks with predominant applicability in the design and establishment of the knowledge bank for defence, public order and national security field. Moreover, the research is meant to deliver conclusions that will possibly enhance efficiency in developing some similar knowledge banks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
