061118 - Eugene provides an extract....

061120 -     "Indeed, some knowledge management vendors envisage that people
061121 -     need to be at the core of any knowledge management system.
061122 -     Edinburgh-based Orbital Software's vision of knowledge management
061123 -     is based on human experts actively contributing to an
061124 -     ever-expanding database of information. Its Organik software
061125 -     enables employees to search for answers to specific questions
061126 -     within the database. If they are unable to find an answer, the
061127 -     system suggests experts elsewhere in the company who might be able
061128 -     to help. Any answers provided by human experts are then filed in
061129 -     the database so that future queries can be dealt with
061130 -     automatically."

061132 -       [On 000307 Doug Engelbart commends an article by Gene Bellinger
061133 -       defining "knowledge", "learning" and explaining "knowledge
061134 -       mangement" as "on-demand" access to information. ref SDS 6 4012
061135 -
061136 - This still leaves open the question of the engine for knowledge
061137 - management, raised by Eric Armstrong on 000208, ref SDS 1 8960, and
061138 - again on 000212. ref SDS 2 8960  Saying "people" are the core of
061139 - knowledge management is like saying the "sun" is source of sunlight.
061140 -
061141 - The question is what can be done, if anything, to augment people, in
061142 - the same way that a prism magnifies light.
