This page provides a download link for a public beta of the K42, a Java-based knowledge server that will enable portals, companies and communities to manage and deliver knowledge structures such as topic maps.

In addition to utilizing and supporting the International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) Topic Map standard (http://www.xml.com/pub/r/398), K4 offers a Knowledge Author component to enable the creation and maintenance of knowledge data, and allows the knowledge server to be updated in real time. A comprehensive Application Programming Interface (API) exposes the K4 functionality and enables customization of the software.
