Knowledge is often used to refer to a body of facts and principles accumulated
+
by humankind over the course of time. Explicit knowledge is knowledge that
+
can be easily expressed in documents. Implicit knowledge and tacit knowledge
+
represent knowledge or know-how that individuals hold in their memory.
+
Explicit knowledge is contained in documents, drawings, calculations, designs,
+
databases, procedures and manuals. Implicit knowledge and tacit knowledge
+
are held in a person’s mind and have typically not been captured or transferred
+
in any form (if they had, they would then become explicit knowledge).
+
Compared with explicit knowledge, such knowledge is more difficult to
+
articulate or to write down and so it tends to be shared between people through
+
discussion and personal interaction. It includes skills, experiences, insight,
+
intuition and judgement.
