Types

Vertical Hierarchy

  • Your standard folder and file approach
  • The default is for a piece of knowledge to only exist in one place
  • You have to agree on the hierarchy across the entire organization
  • Information is naturally siloed and can not be viewed another way. As an example, a cross-functional project's documents can either live within each team's folder or within the project folder.

Flat Network

  • The ability to form arbitrary connections between knowledge
  • Great at unstructured knowledge
  • Since it's free form, there is not set pattern and makes discovery harder

Relational
