Greetings Zied,

knowledge representation is a deep and interesting subject. There are many meanings around the term and different communities treat this concept in completely different ways.

Knowledge engineering
The emphasis here is on inference, reasoning and 'working' with the stuff. Common 'knowledge' respresentation forms are software objects, rules, predicate logic, frames, cases, semantic nets, topic maps, directional graphs

Information processing
Here the focus is on meta-data, markup tags, processing for display purposes, adding contextual information and for classifcation. Examples would be HTML, XML, SGML....

Knowledge work
The key idea here is to capture expertise, experience and to promote learning. Examples include stories, rituals, best practices, lessons learned, FAQs, cheat sheets, metaphors. Not all knowledge representation is explicit or static consider dialog, concepts, patterns, prototypes, distinctions, perceptions, memes, ideas, fashions which also may capture and distribute forms of knowledge.

Here are some notes, links and reflections I hope you will find useful.
