Resumen
The purpose of the paper is to chronicle the depth and breadth of applied knowledge management definitions penned by researchers and practitioners alike. Once these definitions are part of the body of knowledge they become accessible to academics conducting research, to organizations considering knowledge management, and to other interested parties who wish to learn more about the subject. All of the definitions are freely available from open access sources. Collectively the definitions represent the thoughts of authors in at least 13 countries and from 23 domains. The collection of definitions highlight the truly multidisciplinary nature of knowledge management. The initial analysis revealed the four most common verbs were use, create, share, and manage. The most common nouns were knowledge, process, organization, and information.
