Abstract
The paper is aimed at two distinct readerships: drug industry participants who are interested in how knowledge management applies to their industry and knowledge management workers who are interested in seeing how general knowledge management issues play out in this problem domain. To accommodate the latter, without boring the former, a lengthy sidebar offers an introduction to drug development and key vocabulary. We describe key business and operational issues in knowledge management for drug development, show how knowledge management is an appropriate technology for modern drug development, argue for the importance of domain models, and make connections to representative theoretical and experimental work.Keywords
