141444 - Sandra explains eContent, Javacorporate's web content management
141445 - system (based on the open source Expresso Framework and fully
141446 - server-side Java based) - was designed as a foundation upon which to
141447 - build an enterprise knowledgement management system; and our direction
141448 - is to extend the product into an intelligent knowledge management
141449 - system (with plans for new project called eTactician
141450 - (www.etactician.com)).  Our lead developers specialty is in AI so I
141451 - think this could get very interesting. ref DRT 1 EO7L

141490 -
141491 -    ...pertains to collection, storage, and distribution of knowledge
141492 -    contained in an organization. Historically, systems emulated the
141493 -    paper and library systems. Advanced features of document management
141494 -    systems provide version control, authentication, workflow, and
141495 -    translation and help companies better organize their information
141496 -    and usually include very structured approaches to indexing. I think
141497 -    it is interesting to offer alternatives too - such as exploring
141498 -    unstructured approaches too - such as following links structure.

141513 -    facilitates the turning of raw information into knowledge shows
141514 -    there are many methods are integrated in a content management

141520 -    Searching and Indexing Emphasized by Javacorporate
141521 -
141522 -    There has been much attention given in recent years to search and
141523 -    indexing techniques with the exponential growth of information. The
141524 -    Internet has accelerated techniques and, as disparate systems
141525 -    become connected to one another, searching and indexing becomes a
141526 -    function more critical than storage. Information that can't be
141527 -    located easily and with reliability holds little value. The field
141528 -    of searching and indexing is one we are putting a lot of emphasis
141529 -    and research. ref DRT 1 X66K

141533 -    Communications and Collaboration Being Improved by Email
141534 -
141535 -    Integrated components that aid communication and collaboration
141536 -    facilitate the flow of tacit information. The problem of how tacit
141537 -    knowledge is incorporated is perhaps one of the most significant
141538 -    differentiation factors between "knowledge" and "information"
141539 -    management systems.  There are still much greater quantities of
141540 -    knowledge stored within the heads of individuals and within
141541 -    business processes than has been translated into electronic forms.
141542 -    Communications and collaboration software generally help to build
141543 -    relationships between people and reinforce organizational culture
141544 -    and design. An area that is upcoming is integration of email
141545 -    systems for knowledge management; and software such discussion
141546 -    forum software and project management to provide more robust
141547 -    communications. ref DRT 1 J84F

141551 -    Expert Systems Use AI Methods to Make Information Useful
141552 -
141553 -    Another area of promising development is integration of products
141554 -    that provide intelligent analysis of information, online
141555 -    processing, and filtering. Often relying on concepts from the field
141556 -    of artificial intelligence, expert systems and intelligent agents
141557 -    help make vast quantities of data and information useful. We
141558 -    integrate with several products that have been in use providing
141559 -    intelligent analysis and online analytical processing (OLAP) for
141560 -    quite some time; and have intelligent agents planned for use in
141561 -    various components. ref DRT 1 E56F
