  data into the systems as well. Consultant reports, books, journal art
 icles and many other sources of pertinent information can be brought i
 nto the system by the team through web browsing, RSS readers, searches
 , and reading. The results of conversations, interviews, meetings and 
 internal and external conferences can also be included.\n\nFor more in
