Knowledge-Management (KM)-systems integrate multiple technologies with the purpose of supporting users who have "knowledgerelated" problems. Case-Based Reasoning (CBR)-technology is well known for improving problem solutions. Combining both concepts the project "TO_KNOW" has the goal to design a CBR-component that is adaptable to typical KM-Systems. The basic idea is to take into account user-q...
