KnowledgeWorkshop is packed with the tools you need to make information and knowledge work
for you. It is designed to help you manage and interconnect the information
found on your PC and across the Internet. It enables you to synthesize information into personal
knowledge and understanding in a manner that mimics the brain’s own mechanisms. Since
you structure the information based on how you think and see the world, finding information
when you need it is intuitive and natural. It facilitates the generation of new insights and
understanding from the relationships that you can establish among your information sources
leading to the “Aha!” experience. For additional information take a look at our
frequently asked questions page.

Structure
information in a way that makes sense to you
and enables you to work more effectively
Organize information (personal files, web-sites, newsgroups, discussions, notes, e-mails) together in
a manner that replicates how you think about the world, which means finding and retrieving
information is intuitive and straightforward. Imagine the convenience of having all your information
about a particular subject accessible from one place. Open these items with one-click!
Think of the time you'll save not having to use file explorers to get at one type of thing,
a web browswer to get something else, Microsoft Outlook to get something else, and with each
tool having to figure out where the particular thing you want is stored.
Integrate new information and restructure your thinking around it with KnowledgeWorkshop's
drag and drop capabilities for moving information elements about.
Create information categories that make sense to you and display information selectively
within each category.
Build your own navigation index based on words and phrases you select within web content.
Efficiently maintain information in a single location, but have
the flexibility to interconnect it anywhere in your information database by creating associations among information elements.
Easily follow the most important relationships between information elements using KnowledgeWorkshop
tools to describe and rate the strength of relationships and sort information based on
this.
It is also possible to have items present in multiple parts of the knowledgebase (that is, multiparenting). Such items can
be opened and modified from multiple locations with changes being visible when viewed from the other locations.
This is a very powerful information organization feature without incurring the overhead of content
duplication, and copy maintenance.

Build
a personal knowledge database encompassing
a lifetime of learning
Take ownership of, and customize information from web content. You no longer have to worry
if the page is changed or deleted by the author.
Copy and paste content between information items and
notes to establish a personalized version of the information.
Create notes from scratch using the built-in word processor.
Or take complete snapshots or clippings from web-pages so that you'll always have the content when you need it.
just drag (or copy) a selection from the browser and drop (or paste) onto a parent item in the navigation tree.
Integrate your local files of any format into your knowledgebase
by attaching them to notes with drag-and-dropping
functionality.
Whether your information sources are files on your file-system, web sites, notes, e-mails or discussions,
you can tie them together and easily navigate from one element to any other related one.
Navigating to any member of an associated set displays all of the other members automatically.

Assign custom attributes to
information, and compare in a tabular report
A common
use of the Internet is to collect information to support decision making, for example, finding out what options exist
before purchasing a car.
KnowledgeWorkshp enables you to
gather all relevant information together, and to assign custom attributes to the items in the Knowledgebase.
In the case of a car purchase, these attributes could be: price, horsepower, engine capacity, what features come
as standard etc.
|
|
You can then easily compare the
various options you have by having Knowledge-Workshop generate a custom attribute report. Click on the image opposite
to see how this looks for the car purchase example.

Export information
(with navigation tree) as HTML for others to view with a web browser
After you have researched an area and built up a good collection of web pages,
notes etc. you can export this as HTML, even publish to a web server
using FTP (file transfer protocol) so that others can view the information using their web browser.
They do not require KnowledgeWorkshop installed. It can be used, for example, by educators to make course content available
to their students, with a navigation tree to assist with structuring this content.

to get a feel for what is possible.
