Abstract
This first chapter has to be considered like a general entry in the problematic of Knowledge Life-Cycle Management. Some general issues are addressed. First a literature review is proposed that is supposed to highlight the domain and the corresponding concepts and aims through definitions. Knowledge Life-Cycle (KLC) is more especially considered and the strategic dimensions of KLC are described and commented. Then Knowledge Management is positioned with respect to information technology. A conclusion paragraph closes the paper.
