The PiggyDB is a piece of free software that can literally change the way you look at the world. When you look at any piece of software, you’ll notice that it comes with a knowledge base. This is essentially a construction of the knowledge available about that piece of software that is used by end users to get information about that software package. Well, your real life has a knowledge base attached to it as well.

Now, you can put it all together with the PiggyDB, a web application that will help you create your own knowledge base. The input for adding knowledge fragments to the knowledge base is similar to blogging and therefore everyone should be familiar with its use. Once you have entered the knowledge fragments into the knowledge base, you can link them together by using this program to build different relationships. You can change the relationships as new knowledge becomes available and you can even create a hierarchy that can be used later by you when inputting new fragments and reading through old ones.

In short, you can use PiggyDB as your own personal memory dump, discovering new things about yourself and gaining creativity in the process. All you need is the Java Runtime Environment to make this possibility a reality. For more information, please visit the publisher’s website at piggydb.net
