Capturing and Organizing Knowledge

[Auros Knowledge SystemsKeymaster]

Within each Community of Practice (CoP) is a library containing units of knowledge. These are known as Knowledge Packets(K-PACs). Each individual K-PAC is created as a record of some type of information or know-how. K-PACs are used collectively to efficiently capture, share, reuse, and supply knowledge.

There are two different ways that users can format a K-PAC. The Basic K-PAC is used to record various information surrounding a subject; such as a description, functional logic, and images. A Method K-PAC, on the other hand, is generally used to depict a method or process. This format is similar to a flow-chart.

Example of a Method K-PAC

K-PACs include optional criteria called Extended Elements that help users find and organize their knowledge. Extended Elements (EEs) are metadata attached to a K-PAC and is used to classify the knowledge. You can then use the EEs in the K-PAC Search by Filter screen to find all of the K-PACs that contain like criteria.
