Abstract

A system, method, and processor readable medium for processing data in a knowledge management system gathers information content and transmits a work request for the information content gathered. The information content may be registered with a K-map and assigned a unique document identifier. A work queue processes the work requests. The processed information may then be transmitted to another work queue for further processing. Further processing may include categorization, full-text indexing, metrics extraction or other process. Control messages may be transmitted to one or more users providing a status of the work request. The information may be analyzed and further indexed. A progress statistics report may be generated for each of the processes performed on the document. The progress statistics may be provided in a record. A shared access to a central data structure representing the metrics history and taxonomy may be provided for all work queues via a CORBA service.

Claims

1. A knowledge processing system comprising:

a monitoring module that monitors contents of one or more data repositories;

a determining module that determines a match between the contents of the one or more data repositories and affinity of a user to the contents;

a gathering module that gathers matched contents from the one or more data repositories; and

a notification module that notifies the user that the contents matching the user'"'"'s affinity have been accessed.

2. A system of claim 1, wherein the one or more data repositories are web-based data repositories.

3. A system of claim 2, wherein at least one of the web-based data repositories is an on-line bulletin board.

4. A system of claim 1, wherein the one or more data repositories are non-web based data repositories.

5. A system of claim 4, wherein at least one of the non-web based data repositories is Lotus Notes database.

6. A system of claim 1, wherein the determining module periodically determines a match between the contents of the one or more data repositories and the affinity of the user to the contents.

7. A method of knowledge processing comprising the steps of:

monitoring contents of one or more data repositories;

determining a match between the contents of the one or more data repositories and affinity of a user to the contents;

gathering matched contents from the one or more data repositories; and

notifying the user that the contents matching the user'"'"'s affinity have been accessed.

8. A method of claim 7, wherein the one or more data repositories are web-based data repositories.

9. A method of claim 8, wherein at least one of the web-based data repositories is an on-line bulletin board.

10. A method of claim 7, wherein the one or more data repositories are non-web based data repositories.

11. A method of claim 10, wherein at least one of the non-web based data repositories is Lotus Notes database.

12. A method of claim 7, wherein the determining module periodically determines a match between the contents of the one or more data repositories and the affinity of the user to the contents.

13. A knowledge processing system comprising:

monitoring means that monitor contents of one or more data repositories;

determining means that determine a match between the contents of the one or more data repositories and affinity of a user to the contents;

gathering means that gather matched contents from the one or more data repositories; and

notification means that notify the user that the contents matching the user'"'"'s affinity have been accessed.

14. A system of claim 13, wherein the one or more data repositories are web-based data repositories.

15. A system of claim 14, wherein at least one of the web-based data repositories is an on-line bulletin board.

16. A system of claim 13, wherein the one or more data repositories are non-web based data repositories.

17. A system of claim 16, wherein at least one of the non-web based data repositories is Lotus Notes database.

18. A system of claim 13, wherein the determining module periodically determines a match between the contents of the one or more data repositories and the affinity of the user to the contents.
