Several authors have proposed definitions for knowledge repositories:

· A Knowledge repository organize, and makes available to all employees basic information on the company’s organization, products, services, customers, and business processes

· A knowledge repository in an on-line, computer-based storehouse of expertise, knowledge, experience, and documentation about a particular domain of expertise. In creating a knowledge repository, knowledge is collected, summarized, and integrated across sources.
