Notes:

  • The initiative to develop KM standards under the umbrella of AIIM comes from the Knowledge Management Education Forum (KMEF). The work derived from KMEF’s activities during 2011 and 2012 sets the foundation for the standards.
  • Once already, in the late 1990s, AIIM was involved to develop standards for knowledge management. At that time it was the Knowledge Management Consortium International (KMCI), with its president Ed Swanstorm and the responsible Int’l KM Standards Committee cairpersons Tom Dale and Douglas Weidner, AIIM was collaborating with for a short time period (press: Business Wire 1999, KMWorld 2/1999, KMWorld 3/1999, KMWorld 3/1999; C-pages: AIIM, KMCI). Thís stansardization attempt continued with Ed Swanstorm in the Global Knowledge Economics Council (GKEC) and eKnowledge Center, respectively (Call for participation 2001, GKEC/ANSI KM Standards); Related article: Bud Porter-Roth: Defining the Elephant.
