"There is nothing as practical as a good theory" Kurt Lewin

There are many ideas about the use of concepts like data, information, knowledge, communication, etc.

The ideas of Karl Popper give KMS a framework that allows these concepts to be used in a coherent way.

Summary

We have used Popper’s 3 World’s Model

To integrate Informatics Themes &

To argue that the KM discipline, and profession should recognise that its

FOUNDATION is in an holistic understanding of World 3,

VALUE to the universe is in formalising and managing World 3 &

FOCUS is on a person taking more knowledgeable action.
