This paper explores results of a survey that documented tools and technologies used to manage knowledge in Canadian non-profit organizations (NPOs). Findings demonstrate that NPOs, across various types of organizations, use both non-computer (e.g., print documents) and computer-based solutions to manage knowledge. Examples of tools/technologies used include donor management software, email-based systems for communication and marketing, and some specific tools relevant to their areas of operations. Cet article explore les résultats d'une enquête qui a documenté les outils et les technologies utilisés pour gérer les connaissances dans les organisations canadiennes sans but lucratif (OSBL). Les résultats démontrent que les différents types d’OSBL utilisent à la fois des solutions informatiques et non-informatiques (par exemple, des documents imprimés) pour gérer les connaissances. Les outils / technologies utilisées comprennent des logiciels de gestion des donateurs, des systèmes basés sur le courrier électronique pour la communication et le marketing, et quelques outils spécifiques pertinents dans leurs domaines d'activité.

This paper is an effort to inform about the potential of medicinal plants in forest areas in the Borneo region. Given the high rate of destruction of rainforests on Borneo, literacy and conservation efforts of medicinal plants that are part of the forest ecosystem are important. This study developed BBIS, namely Borneo Biodiversity Information System. BBIS is the development of computer-based technology for managing information on Borneo's natural resource biodiversity in order to improve the knowledge management of medicinal plants. In particular, development of the Biodiversity Information System which can be used as an exploring media for exchange information society on Borneo's biodiversity. Profile biodiversity complete and well managed will be a reference in the process of monitoring the use of biological diversity, strategies, and plans related to the biodiversity of the medicinal plants on Borneo Island.

All organizations depend on communication, namely the exchange of information with the sender’s intent that the message be understood and considered by the receivers. And as organizations are designed for action, most organizational communication is intended for driving action and for promoting working relationships between actors. Indeed, communication plays a pivotal role in organizations and may be seen as the foundation of organizational action (Galbraith, 1977; Weick, 1979). Effective communication, particularly the communication of knowledge rather than the communication of facts, requires knowledge of how the message may be understood and considered by the receiver. Conversely, communication is required for knowledge communication and transfer but this issue is beyond our scope. Furthermore, our discussion is restricted to computer-based knowledge management, as well as computer mediated communication. Therefore, the terms knowledge management (KM) and communication, whenever used here, imply that these functions involve computer support.

Knowledge assets and the learning capacity of an organization are the main sources of competitive advantage (Argyris & Schon, 1978; Prahalad & Hamel, 1990). Therefore, there is a growing interest in knowledge management (KM) and corporate memories (CM). The objectives of KM are to promote preservation, communication, and growth of knowledge in the organization (Steels, 1993). According to Fischer et al.(1997), the problem is to deliver the right knowledge at the right time to the right person in the right way. KM is a very complex problem that can be tackled from several viewpoints: socio-organizational, financial and economical, technical, human, legal (Barthès, 1996). A CM is a tool to support KM. Van Heijst et al. (1996) define a CM as an “explicit, disembodied, persistent representation of knowledge and information in an organization.” It is important to consider the development of a CM not only from a technical viewpoint. In this work the human and socio-organizational aspects play a significant role. We will focus on the following (complex) requirement that must be fulfilled by a computer-based CM:

As organizations try to become more competitive, their success depends on how they capture the strategies and activities that are embedded in their work processes. Some companies capture this knowledge in the form of narrative-based case studies and success stories. Computer-based visualization tools can assist this process. This paper presents and discusses a knowledge management support tool, UCD_Vis.
