TYPES OF
KNOWLEDGE
The differences between types of knowledge
Knowledge is information that is meaningful in cognitive forms such
as understanding, awareness and ability. It is typically acquired by
experience, information consumption, experimentation and thought
processes such as imagination and critical thinking. Knowledge comes
in several varieties and types:
A Posteriori
A posteriori, literally "from the latter", is a classical term for
knowledge that extends from experience or empirical evidence.
A Priori
A priori is knowledge that can be deduced from first principles. For
example, you can prove a theory with math.
Dispersed Knowledge
Dispersed knowledge is when information about a topic is fragmented
with no single source of truth. It is common in fast moving situations
such as financial markets.
Domain Knowledge
Domain knowledge describes the knowledge, skills and abilities of
experts in a particular field.
Empirical Knowledge
Knowledge that stems from quantitative and qualitative observations,
measurements and experiments.
Encoded Knowledge
Knowledge that is represented as data such a document, database,
distributed database or artificial neural network.
Explicit Knowledge
Knowledge that can be articulated in a natural language such as
French or Japanese.
Known Unknowns
Knowing that you don't know is a form of knowledge that is useful
to decision making.
Meta Knowledge
Meta-knowledge is knowledge about knowledge such as bibliographic data.
Procedural Knowledge
Knowing how to do something such as riding a bike. Procedural knowledge
is often difficult to encode or make explicit.
Propositional Knowledge
Statements of fact that can be represented in natural language or the
language of a system of logic.
Situated Knowledge
Highly specific knowledge such as knowing that the soil conditions on
the west side of a mountain are perfect for planting tulips in September.
Tacit Knowledge
A general term for knowledge that is difficult to explain, articulate or
acquire such as mastering chess or the piano. Also associated with a sense
of innate ability or unique set of experiences that allows a select few
individuals to achieve mastery of a particular skill.
