[Per WIKIPEDIA] “Knowledge organization (KO), organization of knowledge, organization of information, or information organization is an intellectual discipline concerned with activities such as document description, indexing, and classification that serve to provide systems of representation and order for knowledge and information objects.” Knowledge References/Bodies of Knowledge are built by people and processes that accumulate information resources (files, books, maps, images, etc.) for personal use as well as posterity. They are used in information-seeking scenarios as a resource to explain or illuminate the sought after data. It may include both objective information, subjective information and deep analysis of information from either perspective. Generally, recorded information is intended to be shared and disseminated.
The term "Reference Work" nominally refers to a Hard Copy, but if the Technology exists and is , it should be assumed a Device of some type is being used, along with appropriate Security (if a system is in place) as the medium for a portable reference work/record rather than Hard Copy. Many important reference works have a Backup (immediate or off-site) in place using the Storage Medium, Security, and Technology appropriate to the Setting as well.
SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE: Reference works and basic exposure alone may only provide the foundation for gaining a [mechanics based] advantage. To reflect the practice and experience to gain that benefit consistently, typically requires a cost in Character Points.
