Personal Knowbase – an application designed to create and manage a note database. Personal Knowbase was developed in 1998 by CompuServe Information Service as an example of a personal knowledge base.
Text notes are organized in a simple, linear list. Notes do not organize themselves hierarchically. Search for notes is performed by specifying keywords. This type of search was inherent in research databases that were developed in the 1990s. For example, such as Knowledge Index and CompuServe’s file library. Keyword search is used in MS Help. Another name for tag search.
Notes in the program can be filtered by various criteria – by keywords, by date or the presence of attachments.
To distribute the database of notes stored in the closed format of free use Personal Knowbase, the free software Personal Knowbase Reader is used, which allows you to read them.
