as the stock market bounced along on the bottom, I leavened the gloom by speaking with Chris Meyer, a keynote speaker at APQC's upcoming 2009 knowledge management conference.

Stephen Wolfram and his team have created an astonishingly powerful collection of information. As he puts it on the Wolfram blog, the dream is to make this "computable knowledge" available to immediately enhance any program that's connected to the service. Today's announcement is a big step forward to opening it up to far more developers, but it will need much more computer-readable results before it will really fulfill that promise.

This paper attempts to answer this question by analyzing a failed case study in implementing a knowledge management system .
