KnowledgeBase Example

[markstaylor]

Does anyone have an example app that they can share that can be used as a searchable KnowledgeBase? I have seen commercial apps but would like to see if AMS can do it.

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around being able to assign keywords to different entries or articles. Any examples or thoughts greatly appreciated. Also any links to KB apps that you use or like would be useful too.


Thanks

I'm a great believer in 'horses for courses' so I'd say that AMS isn't the tool to choose (on it's own). I suppose I'm basing that on the fact that I develop and maintain our master database at work and one of the many facilities I've built into since I've been doing it is a knowledge base which works well for us.

I use MSAccess as a front end to SQL Server and with very little development time I was able to make a very useable facility. I didn't have to worry about implementing any special search facility since we have an agreed protocol for adding entries and this makes using the built in search in Access a reliable way of getting information out.

The most important stage of any project by far is planning. A couple of questions I'd have in mind are 1. How much data. 2. How many concurrent users.

Thanks for your responce. I was just looking at developing something for myself and the amount of data would be relatively small compared to real databases.

I found a free app online that I like but I would love to tweak it to my liking. It is PKB http://pkb.sourceforge.net/

I would like to make something as simple as that app but with a editor for text.
