Abstract: A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for managing data across an enterprise. A request for information is received from a user. Data relating to the user request is searched for in at least two geographically separated information repositories. The results of the search are presented to the user. The user is allowed to browse through additional data of the information repositories. Links between data items and other data entries in the information repositories are created according to relationships the data items have to the other data entries.

Abstract: A system and method enable rapid knowledge transfer, for example between a plurality of experts and a plurality of apprentices located remotely from the experts. The system makes use of unique tools to facilitate transfer of knowledge and collaboration between individuals, even among remotely located individuals. An input to the system is a Knowledge Transfer Plan which has been designed to orchestrate the knowledge transfer. The knowledge transfer system integrates a shared repository and collaboration tools for use by the expert and apprentice. The collaboration tools may be accessed through role-specific portals which are automatically created from the Knowledge Transfer Plan. In one embodiment, the system is configured with a World Wide Web-based interface and an integrated suite of tools to support knowledge transfer activities on a global basis to facilitate knowledge transfer among workers engaged in an outsourcing business process.

Abstract: A system including a document repository is provided. The system determines, automatically, a level of similarity between at least two of a plurality of discrete elements stored in the document repository. The system then stores data representative of a link between the elements based in-part on the level of similarity. In another embodiment, the system determines a relationship between documents by retrieving a plurality of documents from a document repository. The system segments at least two documents of the plurality of documents into a plurality of conceptually meaningful segments. The system determines if a segment of one document is related to a segment of another document and stores data representative of the relationship.
