elearningpost - June 2001: Grassroots KM [Knowledge Management] through blogging One line of KM thought says that the problem with information is that there's too darn much of it. Thus KM is really about selective forgetting. This part of the culture uses words like "filter," "focus," and "knowledge mining." Another cultural segment says that the problem with information is that it lacks context. KM is about seeing the broader implications of information. You hear words such as "strategic," "trends," "synthesizing," and "mapping." Each of these approaches takes an aspect of information and tries to ratchet it up so that it becomes knowledge.
