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 method for distributing one or more services for processing knowledge data, said services including at least gathering of the knowledge data, the method comprising:

providing a primary server for at least one of the services for processing the knowledge data; and

providing a plurality of secondary servers for gathering of the knowledge data.

2. A system for distributing one or more services for processing a knowledge data, said services including at least gathering of the knowledge data, the system comprising:

a primary server for at least one of the services for processing the knowledge data; and

a plurality of secondary servers for gathering of the knowledge data.

3. A method for distributing one or more services for processing knowledge data, said services including at least gathering of the knowledge data, the method comprising:

providing a first and a second type of knowledge repositories;

providing a primary server for at least one of the services for processing the knowledge data;

providing a first plurality of secondary servers, each of the first plurality of secondary servers hosting a first spider process that gathers information form the first type of knowledge repository; and

providing a secondary server that hosts a second spider process that gathers information from the second type of knowledge repository.
