The present invention relates to a computer system for knowledge management and to a corresponding computer program product.
Various computer systems and methods for knowledge management are known. Knowledge management includes, among other things, the know-how management of an organization and also document management.
The significance of efficient knowledge management with the aid of information technologies for business success is generally known from the lectures “Wissen—der globale Wettbewerbsfaktor im Innovations—und Wissenszeitalter des dritten Jahrhundert”, Dr. Tom Sommerlatte, Vice President, Chairman Management Consulting Worldwide, Arthur D. Little International, Inc., Wiesbaden; “Knowledge Sharing bei der World Bank”, Stephen Denning, Program Director Knowledge Management, World Bank, Washington, D.C.; “Wissenbasierte Unternehmen—Ziele und Herausforderungen”, Prof. Dr. Claus Weyrich, Board Member, Siemens AG, Munich; “Wissen managen—Herausforderung an das Management des dritten Jahrhunderts”, Detlev Buchal, Board Member, Deutsche Telekom AG, Bonn; “Von der Informationsdrehscheibe zum Wissenmanagement”, James A. Champy, Chairman of Consulting, Perot Systems Corporation, Boston, “Wissensmanagement—Erfolgsfaktor für Finanzdienstleister”, Dr. Rolf-E. Breuer, Spokesman of the Board, Deutsche Bank AG, Frankfurt am Main; all these lectures were held at the Congress “Wissen an der Schwelle zum dritten Jahrtausend”, Sep. 1, 1999, Frankfurt am Main.

According to the present invention the computer system supports an internal company cycle including searching for knowledge, discovering knowledge, considering knowledge, evaluating knowledge and applying knowledge. The database for the search for knowledge, i.e. for appropriate files, therein forms the entire company knowledge and know-how and also contains thematically relevant information input from external data sources.
According to the present invention the computer system enables a user-specific so-called push service. In predetermined rotation a search is carried out for this purpose in the database for documents corresponding to a predetermined user-specific search profile. It is preferred that the number of “hits” brought to the attention of the user concerned is limited to a maximum number chosen by the user of, for example, ten or fifteen.
Further, according to the present invention each user has the opportunity of adding his own contents to the database. For example, a user carries out a search for documents according to a search profile. The user then processes these documents and from them and/or by means of further information constructs a new document. The user can add this new document to the database.
