Accelerated business processes demand new concepts and realizations of information systems and knowledge databases. This paper presents the concept of the collaborative information space (CIS), which supplies the necessary tools to transform individual knowledge into collective useful information. The creation of ‘information objects’ in the CIS allows an efficient allocation of information in all business process steps at any time. Furthermore, the specific availability of heterogeneous, distributed data is realized by a web-based user interface, which enables an effective search by a multidimensionally hierarchical composition.
