Identification of KM activities No attempt was made to "define" knowledge or management, but the group felt it useful to identify the tasks or activities involved in KM. Specific AI techniques, methods or technologies could then be linked to these KM tasks. The KM tasks and activities were brainstormed by the group and no attempt was made to rigorously define terms, hence there is redundancy and overlap between terms. Of these terms four (acquire, analysis, preserve and use) were felt to broadly categorise the other terms.
