Managing CR knowledge is necessary in ensuring PIHL members able to understand and apply the knowledge to fulfil their tasks and responsibilities related to curriculum management. Corporate Memory (CM) was identified as one of appropriate tools in managing PIHL KA. The KA in PIHL CM should be reflected by its KA structure in order to facilitate understanding and navigation. However, the KA structure that are the contents of CM was given less attention in previous CM framework.
