Knowledge Tree

Knowledge Tree

KnowledgeTree, Inc. is a provider of online document management software based in Raleigh, North Carolina. The company also has an office in Cape Town, South Africa. The company's product, also called KnowledgeTree, makes use of the cloud computing platform from Amazon EC2. KnowledgeTree’s features — including workflow, document alerts and version control — are designed to manage business processes around documents in addition to enabling file sharing among teams. The service is available on a subscription basis.

There also used to be a free and open source community edition hosted on sourceforge that was written in PHP and used the Apache Web Server and the application itself. By the fourth quarter of 2012, KnowledgeTree is no longer open source in any meaningful sense. The project page on sourceforge was removed and the community page was redirected to a page advertising the trial of the commercial edition. This pattern is frequently described by the term ASP loophole, where a commercial provider takes the community contributions private based on relevant characteristics of the license.

Famous quotes containing the words knowledge and/or tree:

    Being so caught up,
    So mastered by the brute blood of the air,
    Did she put on his knowledge with his power
    Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    As a natural process, of the same character as the development of a tree from its seed, or of a fowl from its egg, evolution excludes creation and all other kinds of supernatural intervention.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
