Introducing the first issue of International Journal of Knowledge Content Development & Technology The development of information communication has made globalized networking possible. The methods of information distribution have continuously been developed in many different ways, and the related supporting technology has now reached a dependably stable point. Libraries, information centers, database distributors, and publishing companies around the world have established international scholar networks, and have been providing knowledge information under one interface. Internet portal sites have been providing information published by various institutions or individuals. Now our technology has developed to a stage where bibliographic information can be served through the portal sites. This is an era of contents. Information superhighways will deliver contents, and it is important to decide how to form the contents and what to contain in the contents. This journal aims to deal with these issues. The main purpose of this journal is to publish professional articles focusing on knowledge contents, and to share them with interested colleagues. Furthermore, we expect this journal to be a gateway to introduce the research achievements of the Research Institute for Knowledge Content Development & Technology (RIKCDT) of the Konkuk University. We expect and welcome all kinds of contributions from interested scholars, professors, and students. This journal will present English‐written articles, expecting to see an enhanced ratio of articles from abroad by developing an online‐based contributing system or by participating in the KISIT‐ ACOMS. Furthermore, the journal will raise the citation ratio of articles by allowing the open access to full‐text. The journal will be published each June and December. The editorial board consists of eight professors, including Professor Inja Ahn of Tongwon College, as the Editor‐in‐chief. I would like to show my deep appreciation to editors, Amanda Spink(Associate Editor in Chief, Loughto borough University), Barbara B. Moran (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), Sanghee Oh (Florida State University), Hyuk‐Jin Lee (Texas Woman's University), Mi‐Kyung Han (Kyonnggi University), Hyun‐Jin Hong (Chunnam National University), Chul‐Wan Kwack (Kangnam University), and Younghee Noh (Kunguk University) for their invaluable contributions. 2011. 6. 20 Inja Ahn.
