Abstract
"Knowledge-emergent society" aims at that people of a community can work independently towards solution of a local subject. In order to use for activity of such intellectual production, it is a subject as a platform of information and knowledge to promote construction of an electronic document system. However, as for a local government, a bureaucracy principle still exists persistently. A local government prefers to process the work given by several Ministries or the prefecture. Then, the local government cannot develop information policy which connects up issues of the area horizontally with a network. In order to cope with the compound subject of a community, the member of the community, such as residents, NPO, or a company, needs to share knowledge resources, need to aim at practical use of them, and need collaboration. Here is the important view of "e-democracy". In order to realize the view, platform construction of XML-based "document management", which controls the dynamics of information and knowledge, is indispensable.
