Abstract----The power of knowledge management (KM) as a system in capturing, storing, disseminating, and use knowledge for the benefits of its community of practice (CoP) can’t be debated anymore especially in promoting knowledge sharing among them. While, Halal is an industry that was identified as a process that can be provided a lot of content into the KM system by the CoP whether directly or indirectly where they are scatted around the particular states or countries for their future references. The combination of KM and Halal is becoming important in producing and delivering a halal knowledge grid (Halal K-Grid) especially in Malaysia context locally and internationally in order to link and synergies the halal industries which is starting from the beginning of its happening of halal industries inclusive the manufacturing, marketing, as well as its application to the end users. Therefore, there is a need of a special mechanism in terms of or model framework, on how to ontology and in manipulating the halal knowledge semantically and connectively as a halal knowledge grid towards quality of services (QoS) in terms of its usability, accessibility, reliability, and security to its CoP at anywhere, anytime and any platform whether through desktop or mobile computing. Keywords— Knowledge Management (KM), KM System, Halal Industries, Quality of Services, Community of Practice. I. INTRODUCTION HE power of KM as a system in capturing, storing, disseminating, and use knowledge for the benefits of its community of practice (CoP) can’t be debated anymore [1,2,3,5]. While, Halal is an industry that was identified as a process that can be provided a lot of content into the KM system by the CoP whether directly or indirectly where they are scatted around the particular countries for future references. The combination of KM and Halal is becoming important in producing and delivering a halal knowledge grid (Halal K-Grid) especially in Malaysia context locally and internationally in order to link and synergies the halal industries which is starting from the beginning of its happening of halal industries inclusive the production and manufacturing, promoting and marketing, as well as its application to the end users.

There are many organizations or CoP that looking on halal as one of the important aspect that needs to be shared in term of their knowledge especially on halal environment [3],[4].However, there is a lack on how these knowledge whose own by the organizations can be shared especially related to promote best practice and lesson learnt. Therefore, there is a need of a special mechanism in terms of model about on how to ontology and in manipulating the halal knowledge semantically and connectively as a halal knowledge grid towards quality of services (QoS) in terms of its usability, accessibility, reliability, and security to its CoP at anywhere, anytime and any platform whether through desktop or mobile computing. Furthermore, there is a need to be developed a tool as a system prototype for integrating these knowledge where it can be shared and accessed at anytime and anywhere. II. LITERATURE REVIEW In the context of literature review analysis, the discussion will be starting with knowledge definition, knowledge management (KM) processes and how KM is used as a system in managing knowledge sharing for community of practice (CoP) in Halal environment. A. Knowledge Knowledge is an actionable of information. It consists of tacit and explicit knowledge which is including an experience of best practice as lesson learnt of human being that is considering as a major part of knowledge criteria or characteristics. The most popular knowledge in a particular business of CoP for the purpose knowledge sharing process is normally involving the knowledge in a form of explicit rather than implicit. This scenario is happening because the explicit knowledge is easy to refer and browse through its well organized in a documented of presentation or called knowledge repository of the organization [1,2,5]. B. Knowledge Management and Its Process Knowledge Management (KM) is a concept of managing knowledge which is can be divided into some of processes. These of KM processes are including Knowledge Construction where to become as an initiator for knowledge acquisition purposes, and it goes to Knowledge Dissemination for knowledge informed, and Knowledge Application, Knowledge Use of CoP, and lastly the end process by Knowledge Embodiment is based on CoP specific purpose and future requirement.
