Hi Bob,

As odd as this may sound, I've just completed a knowledge, KM and IC architecture. If you'd like to see it, improve on it etc I can forward some materials. Here's how this architecture evolved:

First, if you read Atlantic Monthly's current issue, there's an article on the consilience or 'unification' of knowledge. Edward Wilson writes about the need for such a formulation of knowledge, and appropriately enough states that a consilience can only be attained by striving to attain it. In other words, knowledge unification won't happen by happenstance or accident. The thing is, I completed a unified knowledge model about two years ago (after about 14 years of tinkering). I think it represents what Edward is referring to, an underlying form of what knowledge looks like. By the way, it has the shape of a bar magnet. Now if you take this knowledge model and spin it around like the second hand arm of a watch, a funny thing happens - it maps out the knowledge management/intellectual capital axes. What you end up with is a second model that resembles a clock with vertical KM axis and horizontal IC axis. When you draw the three concentric circles mentioned by E Wilson (serendipity strikes again), it becomes possible to define structural and human capital; data/information and knowledge; and the KM processes of human and technological. The amazing thing is that when everything functions dynamically, it all works in conjunction, alignment etc.
