This document provides a typology of 33 knowledge management tools categorized by whether they are formal or informal, involve face-to-face interaction, use electronic media, contain explicit or implicit knowledge. It then provides examples of how some of these tools, such as storytelling, communities of practice, workshops and webpages, could be used within the Comunis project to share and manage knowledge between partners.
