- There are different:
- types of knowledge each requiring its own approach and technique.
- types of experts and expertise, such that methods should be chosen appropriately.
- ways of representing knowledge, which can aid the acquisition, validation and re-use of knowledge.
- ways of using knowledge, so that the acquisition process can be guided by the project aims (goal-oriented).
- Structured methods increase the efficiency of the acquisition process.

Famous quotes containing the words knowledge, engineering and/or principles:
“But a mother is like a broomstick or like the sun in the heavens, it does not matter which as far as one’s knowledge of her is concerned: the broomstick is there and the sun is there; and whether the child is beaten by it or warmed and enlightened by it, it accepts it as a fact in nature, and does not conceive it as having had youth, passions, and weaknesses, or as still growing, yearning, suffering, and learning.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“[The sceptic] must acknowledge, if he will acknowledge any thing, that all human life must perish, were his principles to prevail. All discourse, all action would immediately cease, and men remain in a total lethargy, till the necessities of nature, unsatisfied, put an end to their miserable existence.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
