This document presents a project on developing a knowledge management system for lawyers. It discusses how knowledge is defined as what we know and is constructed over time through interaction and experience. It also reviews technologies that can support knowledge creation and sharing like data mining, business intelligence, and decision support systems. The project aims to adopt new technologies to help lawyers properly manage records, store documents, and collaborate on cases. The proposed system will create a data warehouse for case details and allow users to upload, categorize, and share information.

2. INTRODUCTION

3. REVIEW OF LITERATURES
Knowledge is most commonly defined as what we know. It involves ‘the
mental processes of comprehension, understanding and learning that go on in
the mind, however they also involve interaction with the world outside the
mind, and interaction with others’ (Wilson, 2002). Vat (2003) believes that
knowledge is intriguing as it is always open to interpretation, is constantly
changing, and is constructed over time.
• Knowledge is a human act
• Knowledge is the residue of thinking
• Knowledge is created in the present moment
• Knowledge belongs to communities
• Knowledge circulates through communities in many ways
• New knowledge is created at the boundaries of old.

4. KNOWLEDGE CREATION
TECHNOLOGIES
As well as technologies designed to enable the sharing of knowledge, there is
also an increasing number of tools aimed at supporting the creation of
knowledge – helping to generate information and knowledge from data. A
few examples are briefly mentioned here for general interest only:
Data mining
Business intelligence
Information system
Data warehouse
Decision support system
Information storage and retrieval

5. RELATED WORKS
