This paper proposes Knowledge Architecture as the architectural discipline for systems that operationalize heterogeneous organizational knowledge.
Rather than treating organizational knowledge as passive information, the paper argues that it is becoming an executable infrastructure consumed by humans, AI models, agents, workflows and applications. Building on established principles from data engineering, it generalizes architectural guarantees such as ingestion, governance, provenance, quality, lineage and serving from data records to knowledge artifacts, introducing the concept of Knowledge-Centric Information Systems.
