International Knowledge Aware Association

A Knowledge Packet is a structured, granular unit of retained know-how; purpose built to efficiently capture, share, reuse, and provision knowledge. This technology is the information structure that encapsulates the Retained Know-how.  

When using the Knowledge Aware approach, Knowledge Packets are often produced by the Retained Know-how Framework, distributed via Retained Know-how Services and evaluated/deployed within the engineering workflow via Assessment Control. 

The Knowledge Packet encapsulation technology performs several critical tasks: 

• Knowledge Packet structure promotes the digitally executable nature of the Retained Know-how: An equation can be resolved, a rule can be processed or evaluated, and a method can be followed. 
• Knowledge Packet encapsulates a structure that ensures that all Retained Know-how has inherent properties, granularity and consistency. 
• Knowledge Packet provides an adaptive knowledge template, which significantly aids the authoring process and adapting processes. 
• Knowledge Packet structure defines the life-cycle attributes of the Retained Know-how, promoting high Signal-to-Noise ratio in an aggregate Retained Know-how.
