Evidence for the origin explanationMedium
The independent spelling and definition in one article of the time were directly read. Its checked publication date is not the date of coinage or first popularity, and the extent of popular spread was not verified. Unlike 지식정부 centered on creating, sharing, and using knowledge, this follows the original’s scope of informatizing administrative services and integrating work.
