IKnowledgeFolder Interface
The IKnowledgeFolder interface defines the methods and properties of, and is implemented by, the KnowledgeFolder object.
The KnowledgeFolder object represents a SharePoint Portal Server knowledge folder. All SharePoint Portal Server documents are stored in a set of hierarchical folders that operate similarly to file-system directories. Some folders can contain items, such as property definitions and dictionaries, in addition to documents.
A KnowledgeWorkspace object contains the root knowledge folder.
