Abstract

A system (100) is provided for storing knowledge, information and data (KID). The system includes a plurality of sources of KID (20), at least one receiver of KID (30) from the plurality of sources, a universal knowledge, information and data store (UKIDS 160) and an interface (150) coupling the receiver and the UKIDS. The interface provides a plurality of logical partitions (200) for storing KID within the UKIDS. In one embodiment, a first level of the logical partitions segregates information into personal and professional KID. A plurality of second personal levels under the first personal level (210) segregates KID storage into a teams of people subset (212), an activities and organization subset (214) and an organization and administration subset (216). A plurality of second professional levels under said first professional level (220) segregates KID storage into a clients subset (230), an output subset (250), a teams subset (270) and an administration subset (290).

Claims

1. A system (100) for storing knowledge, information and data (KID), comprising:

a plurality of sources of KID (20);

at least one receiver (30) of KID from said plurality of sources;

a universal knowledge, information and data store (UKIDS 160); and

an interface (150) coupling said at least one receiver (30) and said UKIDS (160), said interface providing a plurality of logical partitions (200) for storing said KID within said UKIDS;

wherein a first level of said logical partitions segregates KID storage into personal (210) and professional (220) levels, wherein a plurality of second personal levels under said first personal level (210) segregates KID storage into a teams of people subset (212), an activities and organization subset (214) and an organization and administration subset (216), and wherein a plurality of second professional levels under said first professional level (220) segregates KID storage into a clients subset (230), an output subset (250), a teams subset (270) and an administration subset (290).

2. The storage system of claim 1 wherein said teams of people subset includes KID pertaining to family, friends, and other groups of person of interest to a user.

3. The storage system of claim 1 wherein said activities and organizations subset includes KID pertaining to vacations, sports, entertainment, spirituality, hobbies, and other activities.

4. The storage system of claim 1 wherein said organization and administration subset includes KID pertaining to home upkeep, bills and other financial concerns.

5. The storage system of claim 1 wherein said clients subset includes KID pertaining to philosophical groups of internal and external clients, customers, patrons, client projects, markets, key vendors, and sales territories.

6. The storage system of claim 1 wherein said output subset includes KID pertaining to products, services, value added products and services, and any of the aforementioned offered to clients.

7. The storage system of claim 1 wherein said teams subset includes KID pertaining to partnerships, collaborations, and any grouping of individuals that provide output to clients.

8. The storage system of claim 1 wherein said administration subset includes KID pertaining to an operation and coordination of a business, business services, work flow and personnel.

9. The storage system of claim 1 wherein said UKIDS spans a plurality of data storage platforms including electronic (44) and hard-copy (42) storage means.

10. The storage system of claim 9 wherein said electronic storage means includes computer hard drives, backup and recovery media and off-line storage media.

11. The storage system of claim 10 wherein said hard-copy storage means includes bookcases, filing cabinets (600) and desk tops.

12. The storage system of claim 1 wherein said interface includes a graphical user interface (400) that allows a user direct access to electronic stored KID within said logical partitions of said UKIDS.

13. The storage system of claim 1 wherein said interface allows a targeted delivery of KID from one of said plurality of sources of KID to one of said plurality of logical partitions.

14. The storage system of claim 13 wherein said targeted delivery is a manual process wherein said one source of KID specifies a path for manual storage of said target KID within said one logical partition.

15. The storage system of claim 13 wherein said targeted delivery is at least partially automated such that, upon request, said delivered KID is stored in said one logical partition.

16. A storage management system (100), comprising:

a universal knowledge information and data store (UKIDS); and

an interface (150) coupled to said UKIDS, said interface providing a plurality of logical partitions (200) for storing knowledge, information and data (KID) within said UKIDS;

wherein a first level of said logical partitions segregates KID storage into personal (210) and professional (220) levels, wherein a plurality of second personal levels under said first personal level (210) segregates KID storage into a teams of people subset (212), an activities and organization subset (214) and an organization and administration subset (216), and wherein a plurality of second professional levels under said first professional level (220) segregates KID storage into a clients subset (230), an output subset (250), a teams subset (270) and an administration subset (290).
