Interesting how synchronisity plays. Here is an article by Carl Frappaolo of Dephi and Todd Wison from Knowledge Harvesting that highights the role and importance of implicit knowledge.

After the gold rush

Nothing new here except to KM folk who were not around when the expert system folks were chasing heuristics as a special class of knowledge. Seems KM is starting to rediscover the need for special interview techniques, tricks to elicit and test qualitative models. Next they will discover pairwise comparisons as a way to rank contributions, standard deviations as a measure of consensus and repertoire grids to uncover burried constructs.

Perhaps it is someone's law that what goes around must come around!

None of this detracts from the value of implicit knowledge, the need to identity, elicit and test, and the additional benefits of working with a flexible representation for automating inference. I'm waiting for KM to discover business rules hence modus tollens and modus ponens to complete the circle.

Reasoning forwards and backwards
