Summary:
{{Template}}
A '''personal knowledge base''' ('''PKB''') is an electronic tool used to express, capture, and later retrieve the personal knowledge of an individual. It differs from a traditional [[database]] in that it contains subjective material particular to the owner, that others may not agree with nor care about. Importantly, a PKB consists primarily of knowledge, rather than information; in other words, it is not a collection of documents or other sources an individual has encountered, but rather an expression of the distilled knowledge the owner has extracted from those sources.
