Abstract: Classical approaches to document management do not cope with the demands knowledge documents make. Knowledge documents or so-called "living documents" have a far more complex lifecycle than general documents have. They are usually used, edited und utilized by several people and many different versions, revisions and variants exist. Today the multitude of information that these processes generate are not captured or used to provide a better management or retrieval for this kind of documents. Our approach shows that the capturing of this lifecycle can help in the retrieval as well as usage and management of those documents.
