Personal Knowledge Management Perspective

Personal Knowledge Management generally has five "Perspectives", including classification (Knowledge System), tags, titles, content (full text), and dates.

1. classification refers to how to classify and place personal knowledge documents. It is generally referred to as a "knowledge system" or a knowledge hierarchy. Only by establishing different knowledge systems based on occupations, interests, and ideals can we prove that we have the awareness and behavior of "Personal Knowledge Management". Perseverance is a sign of maturity in "Personal Knowledge Management.

2. tags refer to some temporary categories, such as unstable knowledge attributes such as "to be processed", "important", and "secondary. Tags are generally random and subjective, while classification is the knowledge connotation supplemented by objectivity.

3. The title refers to the summary of the core content of a knowledge point, carrying the personality characteristics that are the biggest difference from other knowledge points

4. Content (full text) refers to the specific content and carrier of knowledge (generally referred to as the media or the file format of electronic media). Obtaining content can be said to be the most important purpose of personal knowledge management, how to quickly obtain the required content is the most important indicator of personal knowledge management capabilities. No matter how you classify, store, and tag, the ultimate goal is to quickly obtain the required content. It is another measure of PKM capability.

5. Date includes collection date, modification date, and reading date. date is often the most important track of PKM. You can better check how you manage your knowledge.

Ii. Labels

 

3. Date: displayed by year and month. It is important to have a tree structure that can be indexed by creation, modification, and reading.

 

4. Content (Search): quick database-based search by title, full question, category, and remarks (100 times faster than Windows resource management at full time, by title faster than 1000 times); there are two other features: one is to integrate Google Desktop Search, the other is to be associated with multiple files
