The Research behind Fact Guru

Fact Guru is based on many years of research performed at the University of Ottawa into knowledge bases, knowledge acquisition and knowledge management.

Fact Guru's predecessor systems include:

CODE4 - a full-featured knowledge management system

Ikarus - our first web-based knowledge management system
