Dynamic knowledge repository

The Dynamic Knowledge Repository (DKR) is a concept developed by Douglas C. Engelbart as a primary stategetic focus for allowing humans to address complex problems. Doug has proposed that a DKR will enable us to develop a collective IQ greater than any individual's IQ. References and discussion of Engelbart's DKR concept are available at the Doug Engelbart Institute.

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 retrieved.

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 explicity knowledge. A Library is a knowledge repository of books - physical explicit knowledge. A community of experts is a knowledge repository of tacit knowledge 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) be designed to get knowledge out. It should therefore have some rules of structure, classification, taxonomy, record management etc... to facilitate user engagement.
