Explicit and implicit <strong>knowledge</strong><br />

Method basis<br />

c Prof. Dr.-Ing. Norbert Gronau, Universität Potsdam<br />

KMDL - Knowledge Modeling and Description Language<br />

Separation explicit <strong>knowledge</strong> from implicit <strong>knowledge</strong><br />

Description of <strong>knowledge</strong> conversions<br />

Properties of explicit <strong>knowledge</strong><br />

Person independent, <strong>for</strong> example patents, organigrams, guides<br />

Easily externalized, e.g. through recording on media or through<br />

writing down in documents<br />

Properties of implicit <strong>knowledge</strong><br />

Assignment to particular persons in the company<br />

Person dependent, viz. it is personal, context specific and because<br />

of it hard to communicate<br />

Hard to externalize, only with content loss possible<br />
