The actors in a system development community have a need to communicate
system development knowledge among each other. In the field of knowledge
management, a key distinction is made between explicit and tacit knowledge
(Nonaka and Takeuchi 1991). Explicit knowledge refers to knowledge that can
be externalised in terms of some representation. With representation of knowledge,
we refer to the process of encoding knowledge in terms of some language on some
medium, e.g., creating an architecture model.
However, not all forms of knowledge lend themselves well to explicit representation.
For example, the ability to maintain one’s balance on a bicycle is learned by
(painful) trial and error rather than reading instructions. This knowledge is actively
and personally passed on from generation to generation: parents assist their children
in this process by encouraging them and by protecting them from serious injury
during the trial-and-error process. In Nonaka and Takeuchi (1991), this is referred
to as socialising as a means to transfer knowledge that cannot be made explicit. The
type of knowledge concerned, which cannot easily be represented on a medium, is
referred to as tacit knowledge.
