Abstract: A computer-implemented knowledge management platform system (KMPS) comprises at least one processor and a non-transitory memory unit that is configured to include instructions which, when performed by the processor, induce an organization of knowledge management platform items (KMPI) within a repository, wherein the KMPIs are allocated to knowledge management platform types (KMPT), which are components of a meta-modeled structure that is stored within the non-transitory memory unit and forms an object model, in particular an ontology, with at least one of the KMPTs being implemented as a core KMPT, wherein each core KMPT is attributed to each KMPI within the repository, and wherein each core KMPT defines an essential group of properties, wherein the essential group of properties of the at least one core KMPT defines lifecycle states, and wherein the meta-modeled structure is self-referential, such that each lifecycle state is stored as a KMPI within the repository itself.

Abstract: A computer-implemented knowledge asset distribution platform distributes packages of knowledge assets between plural provider system environments (PSE) and/or consumer system environments (CSE), which store knowledge assets and make the knowledge assets available to users of the CSE. The platform includes one or more processor unit(s), with one or more non-transitory memory unit(s), and a distribution module that distributes packages of knowledge assets. The platform includes a receiver module that receives packages of knowledge assets, a database module that stores packages of knowledge assets and/or stores content information of packages of knowledge assets, a browser module that provides a browser function for browsing the knowledge assets stored by the database module and/or for browsing the content information stored by the database module and a sender module that relays packages of knowledge assets.
