EKMF's KM Framework - second release
18-Mar-02
In this document you will find:
· an overview on existing KM frameworks and KM definitions;
· a comparison of existing KM terminology and frameworks;
· build up of common ‘KM made in Europe’ terminology;
· first visualisation of a common KM terminology;
· reflection of feedback from the European KM community.
Next phase of this activity will focus on building up a common ‘KM made in Europe’ framework, by evaluation and modification (through iterative cycles in the KM community) of common terminology and framework.
In this sense, this work is one building block for going towards a true 'KM Made in Europe'...

Suggestion on extension of terminology cards
In the terminology cards, for each term definition it would be good to add the "community which contributes the definition", such as HCI, data mining, artificial intelligence, information systems, accounting, marketing, strategic management, game theory. They use the same term for different things.

KM term: knowledge
Definition: "Knowledge is a fluid mix of framed
experience, values, contextual information, and expert insight that provides a framework for evaluating and incorporating new experiences and information. It originates and is applied in the minds of knowers. In organizations, it often becomes embedded not only in documents and repositories but also in organizational routines, processes, practices, and norms. (p. 5 of the book mentioned above)
KM Term: Information
Like many other researchers wo have studied information, we will describe it as a message, usually in the form of a document or an audible or visible communication. As with any message, it has a sender and a receiver. Information is meant to change the way the receiver perceives something, to have an impact on his judgement and behaviour. (p. 3 of the book mentioned above)
KM Term: data
Data is a set of discrete, objective facts about events. (p.2 of the book mentioned above; the authors prefer the singular form of the word, although "data" is a plural form)
