My name is Bo Newman and I am
the founder of the original
Knowledge
Management Forum, one of
the first virtual communities of practice in the field of
Knowledge Management. My personal research focuses on the dynamics of the
knowledge to establish improved models for understanding the ways
knowledge is developed, stored, transferred, and used within
organizations. Resent research products include; the Knowledge Management
Characterization Framework (1999), Critical Alignment Path Analysis
(1999), Knowledge Flow Theory and Analysis (2000, 2002), and on-going
work on Long Term Knowledge Preservation.  I was  the co-author
of the primary postgraduate course on knowledge management fundamentals
at George Washington University as well as course-work on the Knowledge
Management Characterization Framework.  I was a contributing author
to The "Handbook of Knowledge Management" to be published this
month.

My over-arching goal is to strengthen the theoretical foundations for the
practice. My specific interest is to examine characteristics of
ontologies, the process of ontology development, issues of ontological
alignment, and it we get to that point, something called
trans-navigational ontologies.

Knowledge Sciences (ontology, epistemology, alignment theory), Knowledge
Engineering (Knowledge Flow Analysis, ontology analysis), Long-term
Knowledge perpetuation, Project and Process Management.

I'm looking forward to some good discussions.
