Personal knowledge networking


Personal knowledge networks are methods for organizations to identify, capture, evaluate, retrieve, verify and share information. This method was primarily conceived by researchers to facilitate the sharing of personal, informal knowledge between organizations. Various technologies and behaviors support personal knowledge networking, including wikis and Really Simple Syndication.
Researchers propose that knowledge management can occur with little explicit governance. This trend is referred to as "grassroots KM" as opposed to traditional, top-down enterprise KM.
