All knowledge elements deal with explicit, implicit and tacit knowledge.... implicit knowledge is difficult to reveal, but it is still possible to capture. Usually the knowledge bearer cannot recall this knowledge by himself, because the information is too obvious to him.... This kind of knowledge can only be detected by observing or asking in more detail. 2, record 1, English, - implicit%20knowledge

There are two broad types of agricultural taxation in developing countries, namely explicit and implicit taxes. Explicit taxes involve charges on land, taxes on inputs such as water, fertilizer, etc., and taxes on output. Income taxes, which belong to the category of explicit taxes, are almost impossible to implement in the context of a country with undeveloped bureaucracy and information system and are rarely used. Implicit taxes involve taxes and/or subsidies of the non-agricultural sector, which change the terms of trade for agriculture. 3, record 4, English, - agricultural%20taxation

Brown et al.(1982) reflect on the use of quantitative simulation for making inferences and see it as a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the simulation provides a lot of leverage to the inference process, because large amounts of knowledge are encoded in the model and brought to bear via the simulation. On the other hand, this embedded knowledge is often based on implicit assumptions and empirical decisions on the part of the model' s designers, which may be very subtle. For instance, the formulas used to run the simulation may only be valid for certain classes of inputs. If these assumptions are not made "explicit and checkable", they can easily be violated when the simulation involves faults. For teaching purposes, the main drawback of quantitative simulation is its inability to give a full account of the causality underlying its inferences. Causality is pedagogically important because it is the main ingredient of the kinds of explanations human students can understand. In a troubleshooting context, causality, more than information content, drives the diagnostic reasoning and the decision to perform measurements. 1, record 7, English, - quantitative%20simulation

A theory proposed by Schank in 1972 to explain how information is stored in a conceptual form in memory. The theory assumes that a) there should be only one representation for two or more different sentences with the same meaning, and b) the representation must make explicit any information in the sentence that is implicit. 2, record 8, English, - conceptual%20dependency%20theory
