Definition
Knowledge map is an overview of knowledge assets in an organization. It shows the distribution and correlation of knowledge as well as provides navigation for potential users so that they can find desired knowledge properly.
Summary
Knowledge map was proposed by B. C. Brookes in 1980's. It is a useful tool in the field of knowledge management. The output of knowledge mapping facilitates tacit knowledge mining and understanding of existing knowledge assets. Users will have the capability of navigating in a knowledge base with the help of a detailed knowledge map. Besides, knowledge map can also be used as a tool for personal knowledge management.
Description
Explicit knowledge implies declared knowledge (i.e. knowledge that is conscious to the knowledge bearer). Explicit knowledge is why it is not a problem for the employee to tell about rules and obviously learned facts. Very often this knowledge is already written down in books. The most important aspects of knowledge can be illustrated by using a knowledge map. Such a tool is helpful in the transfer of knowledge from departing employees to their successors (see Fig. 4).
