Apart from navigation to information and access, it also contains various software technologies that are required for supporting the communication virtually. It also contains intelligent agent software. This ensures the identification and distribution of information and knowledge to the users of the knowledge effectively and automatically.
· Knowledge Profiles: These profiles within a Knowledge Portal facilitate the users of the knowledge to constantly update and maintain a personal
„Knowledge Profile‟. This facilitates in identifying the various needs of the knowledge, areas of interest and frequency of distribution that is specific to the needs.
· Collaborative workspaces: It is very essential to set up a shared work spaces within the knowledge portal for every team or project. This behaves like knowledge repositories that ensures the distillation of knowledge regularly and efficiently and ensures that it is shared across various teams and groups in the organization.

· Managing the communications and collaborating between various networks of people in the organization.
· Enabling the access, creation, and sharing of knowledge between various users of the knowledge in the organization.
Thus, the server that is used for centralizing the knowledge will efficiently manage the processes and the services of the various assets of the knowledge. However, there are various components of a generic knowledge server that includes:
o Knowledge Portal Interface: It acts as a gateway to user access, security and various applications. It is designed around a Knowledge asset schema.
o Knowledge Banks: It encompasses various functionalities as listed below:
· Advanced search capabilities
· Collaboration services
· Search and discovery services
· Publishing services based on user knowledge needs and knowledge profiling
· A knowledge map (taxonomy)
· Knowledge repository for information and process management
· Text summarizing and conceptualizing
· Intelligent agent ware
· An Intranet infrastructure for integrated email, file servers, internet/intranet services.
· Knowledge bases (Banks): It is very essential to have a Knowledge base for every Knowledge identified. However a Knowledge Base contains various factors as listed below:
· Structured and unstructured discussion forums.
· „Knowledge objects‟ that have been designed for the efficient and effective transfer of knowledge using multimedia, video, audio.
