TACIT KNOWLEDGE VISUALIZATION THROUGH ORGANIZATIONAL EXPLICIT KNOWLEDGE WAREHOUSES: A PROPOSAL FOR RESEARCH METHODOLOGY DESIGN AND EXECUTION

Abstract

Knowledge visualization can be used in several fields from medical imaging to industrial engineering. Although there could be variety of applicable research areas, our consideration will be the tacit knowledge visualization in organizations. This proposal aims to suggest a study to develop a tacit knowledge visualization framework to support know-where requirements of the organizational knowledge. With the implementation of our framework in a software application, it is aimed to create a virtual environment, where subject-based knowledge requirements will be answered by the visualized tacit knowledge of individuals and possibly the relations among individual members of the organization

Keywords

• Knowledge visualization, tacit knowledge, research methodology design
