Book and Blog about Organizing Knowledge

People working with knowledge management, taxonomies, and folksonomies will be interested in Patrick Lambe's new book (February 2007) Organising Knowledge. Some excerpts and comments are provided on Lambe's page about the book.

He explained, "Hence, as far as I know, this is also the first taxonomy book that combines a practical guide to taxonomy development with a broader explanation of how taxonomy work contributes to knowledge management in a variety of ways."

His weblog, Green Chameleon, has several categories related to knowledge management and to taxonomy which provide various insights. This one on Folksonomies and Rich Serendipity argues for the value of people as "knowledge aggregators". This is a very thoughtful piece that was later included in Lambe's book.

Patrick Lambe is a principal with Straits Knowledge, a consulting firm for information and knowledge management based in Singapore.
