Dynamic knowledge repository

<h2 id="definition">Definition</h2>
<p>A knowledge repository is a computerized system that systematically captures, organizes and categorizes an organization's knowledge. The repository can be searched and data can be quickly <a href="/facts/Data_retrieval/Hqe9K9qd">retrieved</a>.
</p><p>The effective knowledge repositories include factual, conceptual, procedural and meta-cognitive techniques. The key features of knowledge repositories include communication forums.
</p><p>A knowledge repository can take many forms to "contain" the knowledge it holds. A customer database is a knowledge repository of customer information and insights – or electronic <a href="/facts/Explicit_knowledge/6avUzfHv">explicit knowledge</a>. A Library is a knowledge repository of books – physical explicit knowledge. A community of experts is a knowledge repository of <a href="/facts/Tacit_knowledge/20CNaqW5">tacit knowledge</a> or experience. The nature of the repository only changes to contain/manage the type of knowledge it holds. A repository (as opposed to an archive) is designed to get knowledge out. It should therefore have some rules of structure, classification, taxonomy, record management, etc., to facilitate user engagement.
