CLIAMS:We Claim:

1. A computer-implemented method of determining a lifecycle integrity of one or more knowledge artifacts, said method comprising:
accessing, through a user interface module of a computer-implemented system, at least one metadata associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts;
determining, by a rules engine of the system, at least one of a technology governance index score, a process governance index score, a corporate governance index score, and a future change index score using the at least one metadata of the one or more knowledge artifacts; and
determining, by a knowledge lifecycle integrity module, a life cycle integrity index score of the one or more knowledge artifacts based on the at least one of technology governance index score, the process governance index score, the corporate governance index score and the future change index score.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the technology governance index score is determined based on one or more parameters including Service Level Agreement (SLA) compliance score, service discoverable ability score, service registry availability score, service access control score, and service adaptability score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the process governance index score is determined based on one or more parameters including supporting business strategy availability score, service re-use agreement availability score, change management board existence score, regulatory compliance score, and prioritization score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the corporate governance index score is determined based on one or more parameters including licensing compliance score, audit integrity score, proxy advisors availability score, and financial reporting transparency score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein upon determining the technology governance index score, the process governance index score and the corporate governance index score, the method performed by the rules engine, comprising the steps of:
determining a gap between one or more business strategies associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts;
analysing the one or more business strategies based on the gap determining; and
calculating at least one of the technology governance index score, the process governance index score and the corporate governance index score based on the analysing.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein determining the gap between the one or more business strategies comprising the steps of:
determining one or more business strategies associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts;
comparing the one or more determined business strategies with one or more pre-defined rules associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts; and
determining the gap between the one or more determined business strategies and the one or more pre-defined rules based on the comparing.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the future change index score is determined based on one or more parameters including agility index score, talent index score, authenticity index score and sustainability index score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein accessing the knowledge repository through the user interface module comprising:
receiving user information from a user;
determining validity of the received user information by comparing the received user information with user information previously stored in the knowledge repository; and
providing one or more access control rights to the user for accessing the knowledge repository based on the validity determining.

9. A computer-implemented system for determining a lifecycle integrity of one or more knowledge artifacts, said system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor-executable instructions, which, on execution, cause the processor to:
determine at least one of a technology governance index score, a process governance index score, a corporate governance index score, and a future change index score using at least one metadata of the one or more knowledge artifacts; and
determine a life cycle integrity index score of the one or more knowledge artifacts based on the at least one of technology governance index score, the process governance index score, the corporate governance index score and the future change index score.

10. The system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the instructions, on execution, further cause the processor to determine the technology governance index score based on one or more parameters including Service Level Agreement (SLA) compliance score, service discoverable ability score, service registry availability score, service access control score, and service adaptability score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

11. The system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the instructions, on execution, further cause the processor to determine the process governance index score based on one or more parameters including supporting business strategy availability score, service re-use agreement availability score, change management board existence score, regulatory compliance score, and prioritization score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

12. The system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the instructions, on execution, further cause the processor to determine the corporate governance index score based on one or more parameters including licensing compliance score, audit integrity score, proxy advisors availability score, and financial reporting transparency score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

13. The system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the instructions to determine the technology governance index score, the process governance index score and the corporate governance index score, on execution, further cause the processor to:
determine a gap between one or more business strategies associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts;
analyse the one or more business strategies based on the gap determining; and
calculating at least one of the technology governance index score, the process governance index score and the corporate governance index score based on the analysing.

14. The system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the instructions to determine the gap between the one or more business strategies, on execution, further cause the processor to:
determine one or more business strategies associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts;
compare the one or more determined business strategies with one or more pre-defined rules associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts; and
determine the gap between the one or more determined business strategies and the one or more pre-defined rules based on the comparing.

15. The system as claimed in claim 9, wherein the instructions, on execution, further cause the processor to determine the future change index score based on one or more parameters including agility index score, talent index score, authenticity index score and sustainability index score of the one or more knowledge artifacts.

16. The system as claimed in claim 9, further comprising:
a knowledge repository for storing the one or more knowledge artifacts and metadata associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts; and
a user interface module coupled with the knowledge repository and configured to access the metadata associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts from the knowledge repository.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16, wherein the instructions, on execution, cause the user interface module to access the knowledge repository by:
receiving user information from a user;
determining validity of the received user information by comparing the received user information with user information previously stored in the knowledge repository; and
providing one or more access control rights to the user for accessing the knowledge repository upon validity determining.

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium including operations stored thereon that when processed by at least one processor cause a system to perform the acts of:
accessing at least one metadata associated with the one or more knowledge artifacts;
determining at least one of a technology governance index score, a process governance index score, a corporate governance index score, and a future change index score using the at least one metadata of the one or more knowledge artifacts; and
determining a life cycle integrity index score of the one or more knowledge artifacts based on the at least one of technology governance index score, the process governance index score, the corporate governance index score and the future change index score.
