| Background:Explosion of Knowledge |
Knowledge is increasing at an exponential rate resulting in a massive
amount of knowledge that is extremely difficult to process only by
human. Learning progresses by dividing research themes into
increasingly smaller fields, but this means that specialists must work
within narrow areas of study preventing them from giving expert
opinions on matters outside their personal domains. As a result,
complicated problems cannot be handled without obtaining an overall
picture of things, but this is beyond the capability of any one person. |
| What is Knowledge Structuring? |
Knowledge structuring clarifies the relation between one element of
knowledge and another. Relations come in various forms such as
hierarchical, cause-and-effect, associative, and similarity. The
knowledge structuring process focuses on particular types of relations
according to the immediate purpose, forms such relations among a
large volume of distributed knowledge, and develop a knowledge
system. |
