The answers provided here are very much relevant. Basically, a CMS provides
you many more functionalities compared to a knowledge base. I would even say
that a CMS, whether at the enterprise level, for the web, or as an in-house
asset management and versioning tool, is a custom knowledge base, with
functionality added to answer the needs of the target users.
