Abstract: Organizational knowledge structure reflects the basic composition of organizational knowledge and mutual relationships between its knowledge. At present, scholars have paid little attention to the construction methods of organizational knowledge structure. The organizational knowledge structure is defined from both macro and micro levels, and text mining based construction method of organizational knowledge structure is studied in the field of patent documents. Firstly, knowledge elements are extracted from patent documents. Secondly, a hierarchical clustering solution for these knowledge elements is implemented based on Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering (HAC) algorithm. Thirdly, organizational knowledge structure is formed based on visualization methods. Finally, the construction methods of organizational knowledge structure proposed are validated by processing patent documents of an organization and the good performance is achieved.

Key words: organizational knowledge structure, patent document, knowledge element, HAC algorithm
