Knowledge Network
When we talk about our 'knowledge network' it refers to two things. One is the vast network of business thinkers, writers, leaders and sources to which we have (often privileged) access. It also refers to the way our site is organized.
Knowledge is a fuzzy concept - it is hard to categorize a particular asset (e.g. an article, presentation or for that matter, a human expert) into a specific category. Usually a particular content asset deals with many concepts and may be relevant to many categories.
That's why ManyWorlds.com is organized as a network of assets that have different levels of relevancy to each other. The result is a powerful, context based knowledge base that provides more relevant information to you. But we're the only site on the internet that's truly organized this way and not as a hierarchical tree system so navigating us may be a little different than you are used to. We use our exclusive in-house patented technology (Epiture) to run this site and those of our clients.
Epiture Technology
Epiture was developed to manage networks of knowledge in a fundamentally different way. Based on fuzzy set mathematics and the science of networks, Epiture provides context and real-time adaptation and learning around the knowledge in its' networks.
ManyWorlds developed the revolutionary new software application, Epiture, to address significant, unfulfilled needs in the marketplace in the overlapping areas of content management, knowledge management, web application integration, customer relationship management (CRM), and e-learning platforms. ManyWorlds applied its unique combination of expertise in the areas of software architecture and development, IT directions, cognitive sciences, and learning and knowledge processes to develop Epiture. Epiture’s unique capabilities are now creating entirely new opportunities for businesses to build value.
