Figure 5: The basic structure and organisation of the organisational knowledge base
Knowledge residing in knowledge carriers is based on data and information (knowledge hierarchy) but data and information also emerge from knowledge (reverse knowledge hierarchy).
Thus, knowledge carriers may send and recieve knowledge as data and information. Depending on different factors like e.g. perception, trust and relevance, the recieving knowledge carrier can either
§ store the transferred data and information as new knowledge and new data and information, re-spectively,
§ intergrate the transferred data and information in already available knowledge, which generates new knowledge, or
§ reject the transferred data and information.
In this respect the generic knowledge process can be defined as the transfer, storage, and generation of knowledge. This view of knowledge processing will also correspond with the knowl-edge transformation processes from tacit to explicit knowledge (Nonaka and Takeuchi 1995).
