The Knowledge Curation Toolkit #3: Hamburger for Contextural Curation

Understanding the context of a new knowledge framework

For any knowledge curation project, the context is critical because each piece of knowledge always connects to other pieces of knowledge. In order to make sense of what you are learning or creating, you should pay attention to the context of knowledge.

Today I’d like to introduce “the Context of X” meta-diagram for this purpose. See the above diagram.

The primary project of Curativity Center is Knowledge Curation. For me, the primary outcome of a knowledge curation is a brand new knowledge framework.

What’s a knowledge framework?

A knowledge framework = Concepts + Diagrams + Methods

The Knowledge Curation Toolkit aims to introduce a series of meta-diagrams for building knowledge frameworks. The “Context of X” diagram is for understanding the context of a knowledge framework or a concept.
