    Abstract

    Active knowledge creation and sharing about food safety hazards can be better fostered within a learning community. This paper proposes an innovative analysis and design framework for supporting knowledge work in a learning community. The framework was informed and derived from an investigation of knowledge creation and sharing practices about food hazard risks specific to the dairy industry. This paper presents a case study illustrating how traditional knowledge sharing practices were transformed through the application of a knowledge management framework. The knowledge management framework enabled the formation of a learning community that in turn facilitated improved integration of disparate instances of knowledge sources and fostered new connections between stakeholders for efficient food safety knowledge flow.
