Explicit knowledge
Explicit knowledge (also expressive knowledge)[1] is knowledge that can be readily articulated, codified, stored and accessed.[2] It can be easily transmitted to others. Most forms of explicit knowledge can be stored in certain media. Explicit knowledge is often seen as complementary to tacit knowledge.[3]
Examples
The information contained in encyclopedias and textbooks are good examples of explicit knowledge. The most common forms of explicit knowledge are manuals, documents, procedures, and how-to videos. Knowledge also can be audio-visual. Engineering works and product design can be seen as other forms of explicit knowledge where human skills, motives and knowledge are externalized.

gollark: I'm preeeety sure potential negative consequences of something are relevant to that something.
gollark: Anyone who says they'll magically solve all possible problem probably won't.
gollark: As I said earlier, I mean, but apparently they'll just "deal with it" somehow?
