The '''dynamic knowledge repository''' ('''DKR''') is a concept developed by [[Douglas C. Engelbart]] as a primary strategic focus for allowing humans to address complex problems.{{when|date=September 2011}} DougHe has proposed that a DKR will enable us to develop a [[collective intelligence|collective]] [[IQ]] greater than any individual's IQ. References and discussion of Engelbart's DKR concept are available at the [[Doug Engelbart Institute]].<ref>{{cite web | url=httphttps://www.dougengelbart.org/about/dkrs.html|title=About Dynamic Knowledge Repositories – an introduction | accessdate=September 15, 2011 | author=Christina Engelbart}}</ref>

==Definition==

A knowledge repository is a computerized system that systematically captures, organizes and categorizes an [[organizational knowledge|organization's knowledge]]. The repository can be searched and data can be quickly [[data retrieval|retrieved]].

The effective knowledge repositories include factual, conceptual, procedural and meta-cognitive techniques. The key features of knowledge repositories include communication forums.

A knowledge repository can take many forms to "contain" the knowledge it holds. A customer database is a knowledge repository of customer information and insights – or electronic explicitly[[explicit knowledge]]. A Library is a knowledge repository of books – physical explicit knowledge. A community of experts is a knowledge repository of [[tacit knowledge]] or experience. The nature of the repository only changes to contain / manage the type of knowledge it holds. A repository (as opposed to an archive) beis designed to get knowledge out. It should therefore have some rules of structure, classification, taxonomy, record management, etc..., to facilitate user engagement.
