Knowledge technology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Knowledge technologies have emerged as a concept distinct from Knowledge management.
Knowledge technology is one that adds a layer of intelligence to information technology, to filter appropriate information and deliver it when it is needed.
The term knowledge technologies refers to a fuzzy set of tools including languages and software enabling better representation, organization and exchange of information and knowledge.
The term has been used to name a series of conferences in 2001-2002. It is also the title for a part of the Information Society Technologies thematic priority in the European Union's Sixth Framework Programme.
Among knowledge technologies are ontologies, topic maps, blogs, groupware, document management, expertise locators, latent semantic analysis, semantic networks, social networking engines, and wikis.
