Current personal knowledge and information management tools encounter many problems within the area of knowledge fragmentation, as well as within the knowledge of the knowledge formation process. The chosen approach to overcome these problems is an intelligent, independent intermediate layer. This layer needs to remember and trace the different steps our knowledge pieces have gone through. This offers a holistic view on the knowledge formation process, allowing a system independent replication of the undertaken actions, going back some steps to a previous version, and continuing in a different direction from there on without losing the already won inputs. To capture the holistic view, the consideration of parallel knowledge activities and their level of influence on the outcome need to be reflected.
