== Summary==

==Variations==
A knowledge process is a [[Process|process]] that acts on or with [[Knowledge|knowledge]], either [[Individual knowledge|individual knowledge]] or [[Organizational knowledge|organizational knowledge]]. Most business and organizational work processes are knowledge-dependent and/or knowledge-driven, and by definition they embed one or more knowledge process. In the NKM Wiki, nine main categories of knowledge processes are recognised, namely Creation, Validation, Transformation, Disposal, Learning, Combination, Finding, Maintenance, Sharing (See Fig. 1). Each knowledge process category is used to represent similar or inter-related knowledge processes. For a detailled list of knowledge processes, please refer to [[Knowledge process (disambiguation)]] article.

Knowledge processes may also be called knowledge management processes, or knowledge management activities. They are, however, different from knowledge lifecycle activities, which are described in another article [[Knowledge lifecycle]].

Description

Knowledge process is often used as an alternate term to knowledge management process with the purpose to distinguish knowledge processes from business processes in an organization.

Purpose & benefits

Variations

Knowledge processes may also be called knowledge management processes, or knowledge management activities. They are, however, different from knowledge lifecycle activities, which are described in another article Knowledge lifecycle.
