collaboration and ad-hoc knowledge sharing has led to a strong requirement

for an alternative approach to developing knowledge management systems.

This paper proposes a framework for managing organisational knowledge

that builds on a socio-technical perspective and considers people

as well as technology as two highly interconnected components. We

introduce a conceptualised system architecture that merges enterprise

social software characteristics from the realm of Enterprise 2.0,

and information processing techniques from the domain of Semantic

Web technologies. In order to deliver a KM approach that could assist

in reducing the socio-technical gap, we suggest deploying such a

solution using an integrated sociotechnical implementation methodology.
