With everything going on with Twitter and Reddit I feel like I have a new appreciation for having my own local knowledge base on Logseq.

For those just glancing through: what would you define “knowledge management” as?

[-] bad3r@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

knowledge management refers to how to organize, store, retrieve, and use information.

In the context of personal knowledge management using tools like Logseq, the definition could be something like this:

Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) is the practice of capturing, organizing, and making sense of one's own observations, ideas, and experiences to understand and share knowledge. It's about creating a system that allows you to capture thoughts and ideas easily, make connections between different pieces of information, and retrieve and use this knowledge effectively.

For example, if you're learning a new topic, you might read a variety of sources and take notes in Logseq. Over time, you'd review and refine these notes, connecting new insights to existing ones, creating a rich, interconnected knowledge base.

So is it like a cross between journaling and citation management software? I'm trying to figure out what proponents are getting out of this above what I get from just bookmarking interesting sites.

If it helps you to visualize, one somewhat common/popular form of personal knowledgment management is a wiki. Like Wikipedia, except it's personal (or for a small team). You can keep track of references and also make notes about things, but it's also about connecting ideas together. Just like on Wikipedia, you can have a page about, let's say LLMs, which includes all the software and approaches you've tried, results, sample snippets, references to repos, but as you're writing about what you've tried and what worked, you might also have links to other wiki pages, like programming languages, build tools, test tools, etc. As you document more and build more knowledge, your articles all get meshed together in one well-organized network. Ideally it should be easy to navigate if you come back to a technology later and need to get back up to speed.
