The Awesome Knowledge Management project is an attempt to keep track of interesting people, projects, applications and so forth related to the combined knowledge management and knowledge graph space. I am maintaining the Awesome Knowledge Management repository on GitHub. Contributing to the Awesome Knowledge Management project is easy: fork the repo, make your changes to the main branch and then send me a pull request to get the changes merged and published.

When I say “related to” I am going broad rather than narrow. That is, I will probably include things that are perhaps only tangentially related to knowledge management but that could be of interest within the context of the development of Contextualise.

Finally, the Awesome Knowledge Management project is licensed under a Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal license.
