TYPEWRITERS AND TYPEFACES OF KNOWLEDGE
TYPES AND CLASSIFICATIONS
RARE AND UNUSUAL WORDS
VOCABULARY OF KNOWLEDGE
Bounded rationality - assumes that in real-life situations people often have a limited amount of information and make decisions accordingly.
Common knowledge – knowledge that is known by everyone or nearly everyone, usually with reference to the community in which the term is used.
Customer knowledge – knowledge for, about, or from customers.
Descriptive knowledge – also called declarative knowledge or propositional knowledge, is the type of knowledge that is expressed in declarative sentences or indicative propositions (e.g., "It is raining"). This is distinguished from what is commonly known as "know-how" or procedural knowledge (the knowledge of how, and especially how best, to perform some task), and "knowing of", or knowledge by acquaintance (the knowledge of something's existence).
Domain knowledge – valid knowledge used to refer to an area of human endeavour, an autonomous computer activity, or other specialized discipline.
Experience – knowledge or mastery of an event or subject gained through involvement in or exposure to it.
Empirical evidence – also referred to as empirical data, empirical knowledge, and sense experience, it is a collective term for the knowledge or source of knowledge acquired by means of the senses, particularly by observation and experimentation.
Explicit knowledge – knowledge that can be readily articulated, codified, accessed and verbalized. It can be easily transmitted to others. Most forms of explicit knowledge can be stored in certain media. The information contained in encyclopedias and textbooks are good examples of explicit knowledge.
Extelligence – term coined by Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen in their 1997 book Figments of Reality. They define it as the cultural capital that is available to us in the form of external media (e.g., tribal legends, folklore, nursery rhymes, books, videotapes, CD-ROMs, etc.).
Foundational knowledge – the knowledge necessary for understanding or usefully applying further knowledge in a field.
General knowledge – information that has been accumulated over time through various mediums. This definition excludes highly specialized learning that can only be obtained with extensive training and information confined to a single medium. General knowledge is an important component of crystallized intelligence and is strongly associated with general intelligence, and with openness to experience.
Intelligence - cultivated understanding; acquired knowledge; information stored up in the mind. An exercise of superior understanding; address; skill.
Knowledge by acquaintance – according to Bertrand Russell, knowledge by acquaintance is obtained through a direct causal (experience-based) interaction between a person and the object that person is perceiving. Sense-data from that object are the only things that people can ever become acquainted with; they can never truly KNOW the physical object itself.
Libre knowledge – knowledge released in such a way that users are free to read, listen to, watch, or otherwise experience it; to learn from or with it; to copy, adapt and use it for any purpose; and to share the work (unchanged or modified).
Metaknowledge – knowledge about knowledge. Bibliographies are a form of metaknowledge. Patterns within scientific literature is another.
Mutual knowledge – Information known by all participatory agents
Partial knowledge - in most cases, it is not possible to understand an information domain exhaustively; our knowledge is always incomplete or partial. Most real problems have to be solved by taking advantage of a partial understanding of the problem context and problem data, unlike typical math problems where we have the data and an understanding of the formulas necessary to solve it
Procedural knowledge – also known as imperative knowledge, it is the knowledge exercised in the performance of some task. Commonly referred to as "knowing-how" and opposed to "knowing-that" (descriptive knowledge).
Scientific method - to be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning and experimentation. The scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.
Self-knowledge - usually refers to a person's knowledge of their own sensations, thoughts, beliefs, and other mental states.
Situated knowledge - is knowledge specific to a particular situation. Some methods of generating knowledge, such as trial and error, or learning from experience, tend to create highly situational knowledge.
Tacit knowledge – a kind of knowledge that is difficult to transfer to another person by means of writing it down or verbalizing it. The ability to speak a language, knead dough, play a musical instrument or design and use complex equipment requires all sorts of knowledge that is not always known explicitly, even by expert practitioners, and which is difficult or impossible to explicitly transfer to other users.
Traditional knowledge – knowledge systems embedded in the cultural traditions of regional, indigenous, or local communities. Traditional knowledge includes types of knowledge about traditional technologies of sustaining life. This kind of knowledge, crucial for subsistence and survival, are generally based on accumulations of empirical observation and on interaction with the environment.
- Bekenning - knowledge, from (1380)
- Beknowing - knowledge, from (1340)
- Foreknowledge - knowledge or awareness of something before its existence or occurrence; prescience
- Insight-Kennage - knowledge. (1902)
- Kith - knowledge
