The main principle of the KFM is the approach when CKB authors provide only a minimally sufficient set of related extracts that allow readers to quickly and efficiently find the information they need1. A selection of links and sources in the references (footnotes) helps to delve into the required level of understanding2.
I.e. the task of the authors is not to throw out everything they know in the CKB, which turns the knowledge base into an impenetrable info-jungle in which it is difficult to find something: can’t see the forest for the trees. Their task is to provide interconnected reference points, jumping over which the reader can easily find what he/she wants ↩︎
The meaning of the experts during the building of the CBK is not in the creating a wiki, but provide an expert selection of the best sources and linking with other topics, in order to understand how and with what the current text is connected ↩︎
