The focus of this paper is to present a perceived modified knowledge management framework to enhance knowledge sharing and generation. Although a range of tools and frameworks exists to facilitate knowledge sharing, such a platform does not consider the language barriers and heterogeneity of knowledge resulting in some communities excluded from the process of knowledge generation and assimilation. The proposed model is based on the voluntary submission of knowledge units to fellow communities. In this study, the focus is on the economic benefit of social inclusion and the role of ICT. Knowledge base (an agent), human agents, and research centers can effectively corroborate using ICT. Knowledge management, though important to organizations, can be applied to communities too.
