Knowledge base - Definition and Overview

A knowledge base is a special kind of database for knowledge management. It is the base for the collection of knowledge. Normally, the knowledge base consists of explicit knowledge of an organization, including trouble shooting, articles, white papers, user manuals and others. A knowledge base should have a carefully designed classification structure, content format and search engine.
