Dear Denham,

You have written an excellent ontology
< http://www.voght.com/cgi-bin/pywiki?KmOntology > on Knowledge
Structuring. It is very helpful for my own research.

There is an other remarkable paradox I hear very little about, that so far
has been left out in the discussion about Knowledge Structuring and
Knowledge Management:

>The essence of Knowledge Structuring and Managing engages
>feeling.

Feeling is the faculty par excellence by which to express how one thing
relates to another: how fact relates to norm, how forms, colors, tones
relate to each other, how people relate to each other and finally also how
I myself relate to all this. This is where Knowledge management meets
Personal Mastery.

I am working on a paper in which I am trying to capture such a meta
statement you ask for. I describe how to use just one simple referential
framework with only five components to structure knowledge in connection
to extensive conversation- and problem typology, reflective dialogue and
generative dialogue.

The visualization of this meta-statement can be found on my website:

I hope this interests you, and I am looking forward to comments
and questions.

greetings
Winfried Deijmann
