Personal Knowbase is a freeform notes database application for Microsoft Windows. Personal Knowbase was first released in 19981 on the CompuServe Information Service and is an example of a personal knowledge base. Text articles are displayed in a flat, rather than tree-based, listing. Stored articles are retrieved using a scheme based on user-defined keywords. This type of keyword-based system was based on the keyword systems used by common research databases of the 1990s, such as Knowledge Index and CompuServe's file library, and is similar to the keywords Index for a MS Help file. In recent Internet usage, such keywords are now often referred to as metadata "tags". Articles are filtered using various criteria, including keywords, dates, and attachments. A free read-only version of the program, called Personal Knowbase Reader, is available to allow for distribution of content in the Personal Knowbase format.
