Tacit Knowledge Database Management

This document provides a progress report for the IT/IS final year project. This project is called 'Tacit Knowledge Database Management'. Through this research, I will come out with the best method for storing information in the database. The study is about the continuation of exiting system done by Mr. Ho Yik Min (Acquisition of Tacit Knowledge Using Intervention Method). The further research are more focus on the increasing of the number of intervention and the arrangement or organizing the knowledge captured in the database in order to improve the system. Knowledge Management taxonomy and ontology also have been studied to expand the current work. The current system can be proven to be able to capture tacit knowledge. Thus, knowledge captured should be organized and tagged so that it can be arranged and stored accordingly to facilitate knowledge retrieval process and knowledge upgrade. As the knowledge grows, the system would be able to store and retrieve knowledge more effectively and efficiently. Tacit knowledge is when a person reflects upon theory in the light of praxis or practical judgment, the form of knowledge that results is personal. The entire introduction, problem statement, objectives, and the scope ofthe studies for the project will befurther explained in Chapter 1 - INTRODUCTION. This document also gives further information about the system the literature review/theory section. This section includes the standard features of database system, as well as the benefits from using the database system. Thus we can see that what we are looking at are 'human' factors, and this links to the previous section relating to data, information and knowledge showing that knowledge management is a technological 'fix', via structuring a good database system. One of the most important factors that become clear is that the issue of trust needs to be taken very seriously, such as the trust of technology solution, fellow workers, and without trust knowledge will not be shared
