Facebook as a Collaborative Knowledge Management System
What is Collaborative Knowledge Management?
To answer this question we need to first look at what is Knowledge and then think about how we as individuals, organizations and communities use and manage knowledge. First lets look at the definition of Knowledge.
Knowledge is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as (i) expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject, (ii) what is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information or (iii) awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation. Philosophical debates in general start with Plato’s formulation of knowledge as “justified true belief”. There is however no single agreed definition of knowledge presently, nor any prospect of one, and there remain numerous competing theories. Wikipedia
