Self-guided KM tours

If you wished to learn about KM on the web, where would you go?

KM is a difficult and complex domain. Here are some places to visit to get to grips with this exciting area.

Glossaries, FAQs and dictionaries

If you are new to the terrain, it helps to know the language, understand the key concepts and to have a feel for the boundaries. These sites are incomplete - they do not provide adequate coverage, there are conflicting and different meanings are given the same names, and each space is targeted at a separate audience.

NHS
Fairly comprehensive, provides cross-links to related topics, largely self-contained - few external links.

Sveiby's FAQ
Provides good coverage - a personal Q&A format.

Context Machines - FAQ
A good place to start

Gotcha
Seemed to be dated 1999? related links did not load.

KM metazine
More than a simple glossary, this covers KM roles, technologies, key concepts and more.

ICASIT
Sparse coverage.

KM for beginners

KM map
A visual picture of the field

KMRC - KM intro page
A solid compendium of starter links.

KnowledgeBoard
Discrete topics, lead article and commentary. Uneven coverage.

KM overview - KnowledgeBoard pdf
Useful entry piece.

KM for beginners - J Pierce
Another useful entry point

KM is a huge field with many on-line resources from KM homepages to mega-portals. An easy way to gain entry to KM coversations is to join a KM community or subscribe to RSS feeds from KM bloggers.

If you need further guidance, feel free to drop me an e-mail, IM or Skype me.

Any suggestions or additions to this list would be very welcome.
