The purpose of this paper is to identify some research issues related to applying a multiagent learning approach to knowledge management (KM) for a business organization. Although multiagent learning can not address the entire spectrum of KM research issues, we describe a potential approach to its application particularly in the context of a large business organization with diverse product offerings. We look at what multiagent learning is, what the research issues are for ontology-based KM in a large, diverse business organization, and how a distributed intelligent agent-based approach might address some of these issues.
