[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] The Ministry of Science and ICT held a meeting at the site of Jiphyeonjeon from the Joseon Dynasty and finalized plans to establish and operate the "Digital Jiphyeonjeon," which provides national knowledge information offered by various government agencies.

According to the Ministry of Science and ICT, the National Knowledge Information Committee held its first meeting on the 23rd at Hongbokjeon Hall in Gyeongbokgung Palace. This committee was established under the "Act on the Promotion of Connection and Utilization of National Knowledge Information." The chairperson is the Minister of Science and ICT, and the committee consists of a total of 20 members, including vice ministers from related ministries such as the Ministry of Education, Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, as well as eight private experts.

Hongbokjeon Hall, where the meeting was held, was the location of Jiphyeonjeon during the Joseon Dynasty. The committee deliberated and resolved on the plans for building and operating the National Knowledge Information Integrated Platform (Digital Jiphyeonjeon), the formation and operation plans of the National Knowledge Information Committee's Working Council, and the operational regulations of the National Knowledge Information Committee.

The Digital Jiphyeonjeon is a nickname for an online integrated platform that links national knowledge information provided separately by each agency, allowing users to search in one place. The government plans to start a pilot service by the end of December and officially launch the service in January next year.

For practical consultations with related agencies, a working council of the National Knowledge Information Committee will also be formed, chaired by the 2nd Vice Minister of the Ministry of Science and ICT.

During the meeting, measures to standardize knowledge information classification systems and metadata were also discussed to enable the linkage and utilization of national knowledge information held by related agencies through the Digital Jiphyeonjeon.

Minister Lim Hye-sook of the Ministry of Science and ICT stated, "Inheriting the meaning of Jiphyeonjeon, which served and benefited the people, we will spare no support to ensure that the Digital Jiphyeonjeon establishes itself as a national knowledge information hub connecting the present and the future."
