  Collaboration technology typically focuses on collaboration and group
processes (cooperation, communication, coordination and coproduction).
Knowledge Management (KM) technology typically focuses on content (creation,
storage, sharing and use of data, information and knowledge). Yet, to achieve
their common goals, teams and organizations need both KM and collaboration
technology to make that more effective and efficient. This paper is interested
in knowledge management and collaboration regarding their convergence and their
integration. First, it contributes to a better understanding of the knowledge
management and collaboration concepts. Second, it focuses on KM and
collaboration convergence by presenting the different interpretation of this
convergence. Third, this paper proposes a generic framework of collaborative
knowledge management.
