Denham... you need to read my essay on the subject... send my your email address ... I disagree here. Knowledge is not information. They are seperate and apart, even as the strings of the lute quiver to the same music, they are seperate and apart.

Knowledge is created when intelligence, synthesis, and integration are added to information. Knowledge exists only in the mind. Performance, which occurs when motivation is added to the mix.

Where is this "community" stuff coming from? Knowledge and skill are reinforced by application. If we don't use it we lose it... properly designed we can document and thus retain knowledge by devising information cues that permit us to recall knowledge stored in long term mem (fooryr which we have lost the memory address) By the way... much of what is being called tacit or unconcious knowledge can be accessed by simple interviewing and observation techniques, along with a small amount of cognitive therapy for dummies.

I know about these things because I have spent twenty-five years dealing with the use and application of knowledge in the workplace... I am a Knowledge Manager and have been for years... what is being called knowledge managment is, in my opinion romper room at the IT nursery. IT having failed at data processing, botched BPR, and losing at Information, are now trying to capture knowledge ... when will they ever learn. Giving hedgonomy over knowledge to the IT people is like turning over our distribution system to the truckdrivers. ad hominum comments to follow...sorry, I got carried away here
