Explicit knowledge refers to information that is clearly stated and easily accessible, such as facts and figures that can be found in a book or online. It is knowledge that is easily communicable and can be articulated verbally or written down.
Hidden knowledge, on the other hand, refers to information that is not immediately obvious or easily accessible. It is knowledge that is often tacit, meaning it is difficult to express in words and is often embedded in people's experiences, skills, and actions. Examples of hidden knowledge include knowing how to ride a bike, or knowing how to cook a dish without a recipe. It is also known as tacit knowledge.
We can distinguish two categories of knowledge resources: explicit and hidden.
