Bridge to Asia -- Knowledge Ports

A Knowledge Port contains core knowledge in a subject, and hosts it at one location. A Port includes:

core principles
best practices
"must reads"
training courses
research
dynamic services (forums, current awareness, document-delivery)

The Port is an evolutionary step beyond an Information-transfer Station. It is staffed by information specialists and serves as a virtual reference desk, but all of its resources are at one site.

The Port also is a step beyond networks and institutions. It can be reached through the Internet, but its contents are not distributed. And it can be located at an institution like a university, but access to the public is free.
