From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metaknowledge or
meta-knowledge is knowledge about a preselected knowledge.
For the reason of different definitions of knowledge in the
subject matter literature, meta-information is or is not included
in meta-knowledge. Detailed cognitive, systemic and epistemic study of
human knowledge requires a distinguishing of these concepts. but in
the common language knowledge includes information, and, for
example, bibliographic data are considered as a meta-knowledge.
Meta-knowledge is a fundamental conceptual instrument in such
research and scientific domains as, knowledge engineering, knowledge
management, and others dealing with study and operations on
knowledge, seen as a unified object/entities, abstracted from
local conceptualizations and terminologies. Examples of the
first-level individual meta-knowledge are methods of planning,
modeling, tagging, learning and every modification
of a domain
knowledge. The procedures, methodologies and strategies of
teaching, coordination of e-learning courses are individual
meta-meta-knowledge of an intelligent entity (a person, organization or society). Of course, universal meta-knowledge
frameworks have to be valid for the organization of meta-levels of
individual meta-knowledge.
Put simpler, metaknowledge may be linked to knowledge you need
but you don't yet possess: it is a cluster of definitions and
methods aiming to guide you in gathering the pertinent knowledge
with regard to your activity.
