PCPACK5 is a comprehensive suite of knowledge tools that support the acquisition, analysis, modelling and publication of knowledge.

PCPACK5 is a network application that allows knowledgebases to be stored and accessed by multiple users over a network. Each user has defined access rights that allow or restrict their ability to edit and view certain knowldgebases. For example, a user can be allocated full access rights, edit-only rights, read-only rights or website-only rights.

The management of knowledgebases is controlled by a central administrator (called a Tool Administrator) who handles version-control of knowledgebases.

PCPACK5 has been developed as part of the ongoing development of PCPACK to satisfy the requirements of large organisations that require multiple users of a single knowledgebase. PCPACK5 is currently being used by numerous knowledge engineers at Airbus and BAE SYSTEMS.

If you are familiar with PCPACK4, then the major additions are the Admin Tool and the Equation Editor
