The Kaieteur Institute for Knowledge Management has developed an interesting model that might be the start of a solid taxonomy for knowledge management. Considering digital knowledge exchanges and their knowledge business models, the institute has compiled a list of knowledge markets -- organized based on their characteristics.

• Knowledge auctions
• Knowledge stores or malls
• Expert knowledge or question and answer exchanges
• Intellectual property exchanges
• Stock market or investment knowledge exchanges
• E-Education or e-learning exchanges
• Community oriented or social capital knowledge networks
• Intellectual capital exchanges (human capital, talent, work, job, project, free agent, or professional services exchanges)
• Vortexes (vertical or industry specific knowledge markets)
• B2B knowledge exchange

Not only is the taxonomy a useful tool when considering your own personal and organizational approach to knowledge management, the roundup is a good source of place to go for answers and ideas. What categories might be missing from the taxonomy? Is this an adequate framework?
