Talk:Knowledge Management System

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] We need disambiguation

The majority of the links to this page refer to a specific software system called "KMS", which was a commercial product of Knowledge Systems, Inc., and has historical value, as indicated by the pages linking here.

The original converted content from the FOLDOC was appropriate for that system.

An article describing that system can be found at the ACM Digital Library: KMS: a distributed hypermedia system for managing knowledge in organizations

The general concept of a Knowledge Management System is worth explaining, but not at the cost of removing the historical reference of the system by the same name.

[edit] We need some examples

I guess we need some good examples about different systems to cover all areas of KMS, since KMS is quite an broad deffinition which many kind of softwares that have different practical approaches can be categorised into. Some examples: CAD (3DS Max, Autocad), Business Intelligence (Crystal Reports, Business Objects Enterprise), Document sharing systems (Docushare), Content Management Systems (Xaraya, Postnuke, Sharepoint) and even Office Systems (Microsoft Office). Any thoughts on this? --Pinnecco 20:06, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Just for referencing, I have Laudon's Management Information System here (Intl 8th edition) and it actually divides the System and Infrastructure for knowledge management as follows:
