Week 2 continued

Knowledge Management Model - 'Epistemological'

After looking at a few journals and articles, I was unable to come up with a good understanding of what a KM model is and how it can be applied. I found an explanation from Wikipedia which gives understanding to the novice (me! i.e. without much knowledge of KM). At least it is a start of a long journey to understanding KM in depth.

Epistemology according to Wikipedia is also known as the 'theory of knowledge'. it focuses on the nature and scope of knowledge. It seeks to address ongoing questions about knowledge such as: "What is knowledge? How it is acquired, amongst other things". - Wikipedia

My understanding is that epistemological model seeks to analyze the nature of knowledge and the relationship between as truth, belief, and justification when knowledge is concerned. I hope I can safely presume that in getting definitions of terms in KM and their correct uses over the past week or two, I am getting closer to what epistemology stands for.
I look forward to learning and indeed being knowledgeable on this particular model.
