Knowledge disclosure point
A Knowledge disclosure point or KDP is (the account of) an event that sets a meaningful context for knowledge elicitation.
Concept
In the broader context of knowledge management, Knowledge disclosure points or KDP's are identified as accounts of past (in some cases fictional) events, such as:
- Decisions
- Judgements
- Problem resolutions
- Learning events
KDP's can be identified through anthropology-based observational approaches or through other structured methods, such as Decision mapping. In general, observational methods based on anthropological principles and techniques are most appropriate when the natural cycle of knowledge use can be observed over weeks rather than months. Other methods, for example those based on anecdotal elicitation, are more suitable for longer reference periods.
When mapping knowledge in an organization, KDP's are a key prerequisite and form the primary input for other knowledge elicitation methods, such as ASHEN.
