This short reflection paper is addressing the challenges of using SocialWare for personal knowledge management (PKM). Starting point is a critical discussion of the constitutive terms and concepts of PKM and SocialWare. This paper argues for a clear distinction between data, information and knowledge and presents some lessons learned from following this distinction.

Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) and Personal Information Management (PIM) are two related research problems currently being examined by different, although potentially overlapping communities of researchers.

This paper reviews the document concept and compares analogue and digital documents. It introduces knowledge models as a superset of documents and explains the benefits of using knowledge models in Personal Knowledge Management (PKM).

This part outlines a framework for knowledge management in semantic webs: Semantic Personal Knowledge Management (SPKM). We survey current strategies for knowledge management that utilize semantic web technologies. From the discussion of these strategies ten basic requirements are derived. These requirements combine technological, psychological and philosophical research ideas. By crossing trad...
