Open source software for personal information managers and personal knowledge management K.M. Khan, U. Naik International Conference for Internet Technology and Secured Transactions Icitst 2009, 2009 Technology is common in the domain of knowledge distribution, but it rarely enhances the process of knowledge use. Distribution delivers knowledge to the potential user's desktop but cannot dictate what he or she does with it thereafter. It would be interesting to envision technologies that help to manage personal knowledge as it applies to decisions and actions. The viewpoints about knowledge vary from individual, community, society, personnel development or national development. Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) integrates Personal Information Management (PIM), focused on individual skills, with Knowledge Management (KM). KM Software is a subset of Enterprise content management software and which contains a range of software that specialises in the way information is collected, stored and/or accessed. This article focuses on KM skills, PKM and PIM Open Sources Software, Social Personal Management and also highlights the Comparison of knowledge base management software and its use.
