This study focused on the knowledge formation of an image-digitizing technology (MPEG). Based on the observed result, we propose the scenario for the knowledge creation including standardization. We firstly demonstrate how standardization changes the science linkage between patents and academic articles. Secondly, we discuss the relevance of the bibliographic clustering method (BCCN) for this analysis. Finally, the differences in knowledge creation related to standardization among countries are discussed.
