Learn More About Kneaver.
Kneaver is Knowledge Management Solution. It will help to accumulate, share and
mature your organization’s knowledge.
An Original Approach
Kneaver is manipulating a canvas small of pieces of text linked with plenty of others. At any time the system is aggregating them to produce a display adapted to the user. This is very different from a CMS/Document
management system. Creating pieces of knowledge and linking is called Kneaving
similar to weaving thread on a canvas.
Display is fully adapted to the user because Kneaver will take care of what is already know, it will put first what should be learned next, it will hide what is out of scope. Kneaver retain several appreciations from the user:
exposure, agreement, conformance and assessments taken.
Kneaver relies heavily on a semantic engine. Items and Links are
organized with types. Types carry a vector of semantic information (level of synthetic
power, causality, specialization). This allows Kneaver to automatically detect key
items, extract glossaries and suggest links and classifications. An initial
type network is supplied with many types predefined for common Knowledge Management
activity. It can be extended on the spot. Types are not a classification (taxonomy)
of your knowledge but a level for understanding.
Kneaver includes on a methodology. You are free to use it entirely
or pick your choice. It allows an iterative process to mature
knowledge. Kneaver is much more powerful than a taxonomy and don’t
even oblige you to define one. Because collecting knowledge requires motivation
and help we have our built-in inductor system. They take of prompting
you or doing ancillary tasks like searching a home page for a person or a reference
web page for a new concept. They can be ignored, skipped, restarted any time. Less
typing, avoid information to be mixed with knowledge are achieved.
Kneaver includes an e-learning system. You define training plans, presentations; assign levels of detail and center of interest. You assign the training plans to new members. Presentation
and assessments are produced automatically. Tracking and synthetic reports are built-in.
With Kneaver each of you manages his Knowledge Frontier. Learning
push forward the frontier, accumulating and innovation increase the value of your
territory. The center of it is the well-known part that will progressively be removed
from your view of Kneaver. This allows expert users to maintain their speed of
use while preserving an introductory level.
Kneaver empower your knowledge. You can build automatically
mind maps, presentations, glossaries, figures, references and yellow pages.
You can use Kneaver to annotate web pages from other sites and
link it back to your own knowledge, keep links to favorites web sites and classify
automatically, filter RSS feeds to highlight theses
which are most valuable for you. If you are busy no need to read something you know
already or weakly connected to your scope.
Kneaver is extensible. Our object model can be leverage server
side as simply as adding small pieces of XHTML but also using high level language
like c++, java or vb. So extensions can range from changing some display or layout
to complete integration with enterprises packages. At every level as soon as data
is concerned XML is the common language.
