Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore a new way for knowledge services of the digital library which can transform knowledge resources into real social value.
Design/methodology/approach
The “Internet of Knowledge” approach was proposed for the first time as an intentional means to organize “Too Big” and scattered knowledge resources into high-efficiency fuels for driving purposeful knowledge works.
Findings
It is a new methodology and insight proposed for building digital libraries which stresses on active and diligent services with linked and shared resources rather than resource ownership.
Research limitations/implications
The proposed knowledge organization is based on domain-specific body of knowledge. The engagement of domain experts is the key success factor.
Practical implications
The whole design framework has been adopted in constructing the new Zhoushan Ocean Digital Library to support sustainable development of marine economy.
Originality/value
The proposed knowledge cloud services will be pave a knowledge superhighway to help millions Chinese professionals stepping toward the technology peak.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop a network-based approach for doing active knowledge services in the coming networked knowledge era.
Design/methodology/approach
A novel solution so-called “Internet of Knowledge (IoK)” is proposed in this paper, which can be used to organize scattered resources into a value-added knowledge asset for serving any specific objective through internet connection.
Findings
It enables the public library to be an attractive habitat for both knowledge consumers and contributors to share and co-create knowledge works. It will be an ideal ecosystem for supporting the growth of knowledge-intensive industries.
Research limitations/implications
A pilot system has being developed to promote the development of marine economy.
Practical implications
The IoK-based approach is expected to be applied to more domains in the next China’s five-year plan.
Originality/value
The main contribution is to integrate many great ideas from world gurus into a single solution framework, in other words, an integration innovation.
