Knowledge-based knowledge management (KBKM) focuses on applications of knowledge-based systems (KBS) tailored to knowledge management (KM) problems. Although KM is primarily concerned with how people and organizations utilize their knowledge assets, one key to doing so efficiently is to employ technology to facilitate the KM process. One particular kind of technology has shown itself to be extr...
