Hi Valerie, welcome to the club!
This is what I use to show the distinction between information and knowledge. I hope this helps.
I prefer the above operational definitions of “tacit knowledge” and “explicit knowledge” (I shy away from ontological and epistemological definitions because they tend to be too impractical and often deteriorate into useless debates).

An interesting diagram because it emphasizes the practical base of knowledge, however it is misleading in suggesting that all tacit knowledge can be codified (or maybe that’s just my interpretation

Hi Julie, yes I agree.
How can we modify the diagram to make sure a reader won’t get such mis-interpretation?
