“…The importance of education as one of the means to address unfamiliarity has been stressed by Levy (2011), Bedford (2013 and Davidson (2011), as cited before. In the PKMS Meta-Concept (Schmitt, 2014m), this educational dimension plays an important role.…”

The paper introduces a novel Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) concept and prototype system. The system's objective is to aid life-long-learning, resourcefulness, creativity, and teamwork of individuals throughout their academic and professional life and as contributors and beneficiaries of organizational and societal performance. Such a scope offers appealing and viable opportunities for stakeholders in the educational, professional, and developmental context.To further validate the underlying PKM application design, the systems thinking techniques of the transdiscipline of Informing Science (IS) are employed. By applying Cohen's IS-Framework, Leavitt's Diamond Model, the IS-Meta Approach, and Gill's and Murphy's Three Dimensions of Design Task Complexity, the more specific KM models and methodologies central to the PKMS concept are aligned, introduced, and visualized. The extent of this introduction offers an essential overview, which can be deepened and broadened by using the cited URL and DOI links pointing to the available resources of the author's prior publications.The paper emphasizes the differences of the proposed meme-based PKM System compared to its traditional organizational document-centric counterparts as well as its inherent complementing synergies. As a result, it shows how the system is closing in on Vannevar Bush's still unfulfilled vison of the 'Memex', an as-close-as-it-gets imaginary ancestor celebrating its 70 th anniversary as an inspiring idea never realized. It also addresses the scenario recently put forward by Levy which foresees a decentralizing revolution of knowledge management that gives more power and autonomy to individuals and self-organized groups. Accordingly, it also touches on the PKM potential in terms of Kuhn's Scientific Revolutions and Disruptive Innovations.

“…1, 4, 5). Accordingly, it is able to adequately respond to groundgaining calls for decentralizing KM operations, raising user autonomy, addressing information overload, and encouraging innovation (Bedford, 2013;Cabitza, Simone, & Cornetta, 2015;Lebow, 2018;Levy, 2011;Papapanagiotou et al, 2018;Lebow, 2018).…”

Aim/Purpose: In a world of rapidly expanding complexity and exponentially increasing data availability, IT-based knowledge management tools will be needed to manage and curate available information. This paper looks at a particular tool architecture that has been previously proposed: The Personal Knowledge Management System (PKMS). The specific focus is on how the proposed architecture conforms to design science principles that relate to how it is likely to evolve. Background: We first introduce some recent informing science and design science research frameworks, then examine how the PKMS architecture would conform to these. Methodology: The approach taken is conceptual analysis. Contribution: The analysis provides a clearer understanding of how the proposed PKMS would serve the diverse-client ambiguous-target (DCAT) informing scenario and how it could be expected to evolve. Findings: We demonstrate how the PKMS informing architecture can be characterized as a “social machine” that appears to conform to a number of principles that would facilitate its long-term evolution. Future Research: The example provided by the paper could serve as a model future research seeking to integrate design science and informing science in the study of IT artefacts.
