This chat is a collaboration between KMers and the SIKM Community. The SIKM Leader teleconference is titled "The Knowledge Management and Application Domain" which is also the title of our new book. The teleconference will be a discussion between the 2 authors, Karla Phlypo-Price and me, about the book. Participants can ask questions as well. The book can be previewed at Google books by following this link:

After this conference we'll discuss this topic further in the KMers community using the questions mentioned in the agenda.

1. What is the advantage of modeling (documenting) the focus areas within the KM community?

2. What is the impact on the Knowledge Management community of erring on omission of other disciplines? …inclusion of other disciplines?

3. Should all KMer’s be practicing exactly the same thing or is there room in the community for specialization?

4. If specialization is acknowledged, what is the advantage of maintaining the specialization name under the umbrella of KM rather than relabeling very thing KM?

5. Is there a possibility that a KM strategy that was unsuccessful in the past for some could have been successful for others? If successful, do we all need to implement it or just acknowledge the success?
