Explicit knowledge
Explicit knowledge (also expressive knowledge)[1] is knowledge that can be readily articulated, codified, accessed and verbalized.[2] It can be easily transmitted to others. Most forms of explicit knowledge can be stored in certain media. The information contained in encyclopedias and textbooks are good examples of explicit knowledge.
Explicit knowledge is opposed to tacit knowledge.
The most common forms of explicit knowledge are manuals, documents, procedures, and how-to videos. Knowledge also can be audio-visual. Engineering works and product design can be seen as other forms of explicit knowledge where human skills, motives and knowledge are externalized.
