Well, I looked at some of the demos of Professional KnowledgeWorkshop (http://www.lmsweb.com/product.htm). It seems to be more concerned with establishing relationships/links among information items - mostly Web pages - than with Getting It OUT. There seems to be a lot of up-front work: Deciding how important an information item or part of of the item is. Establishing links between such info items, including the direction of the links, etc. You can make changes after the fact, but again it seems to be unnecessarily cumbersome and TIME CONSUMING. I think many of us realize now (if we didn’t earlier) that our real purpose in using PIMs is not to play with information, but rather to store it, make it easily accessible, and Get It Out in useful forms. Finally, the search function of KW is QUITE rudimentary.
