Two examples of technology solutions that were available for use in
early knowledge management systems can be cited. One such solution was
Augment (short for augmenting human intelligence), introduced in 1978 by
Doug Engelbert, and other early hypertext/groupware application systems
that were capable of interfacing with other applications and systems. Another
notable example was the Knowledge Management Systems developed by
Rob Acksyn and Don McCraken, which was an open distributed hypermedia
tool that predated the World Wide Web by a decade.
