    Abstract

    This paper draws on work previously published on the difference between knowledge and information by the author (2014) as well as research into management and systems design, to propose a model for what a knowledge management system (KMS) might be comprised of. It proposes an architecture comprising specific elements that must be in place for a system to be considered a “KMS”. These elements are further broken down into a range of components within those elements that may exist to contribute to the functioning of a KMS.
