Knowledge engine is to transform experience into knowledge. And knowledge economy based on internet needs this knowledge engine. It is like the engine in the industrial era. You need that to make ships, cars, and airplanes, mowers, razors, and so on. In the knowledge economy, we need knowledge engine to build the ship, cars, and airplanes in the knowledge age.

We demonstrate a better digital form of knowledge, which is a dynamic streaming structure. Not only do you have the versioned (or we can call milestones of knowledge) static writing that represents an understanding of the knowledge at the time, you can also view those significant experiences that are driving and shaping the knowledge along the way. We also demonstrate how significant experiences can be easily recorded and accumulated, how individuals work on those significant experiences by simple editing operations, how others provide inputs and guidelines through commenting and voting mechanisms. Overall, we show you how scattered activities every day over a long period of time can be turned into a dynamic streaming structure – knowledge. We also show you how these dynamic streaming structures can be shared and applied to various situations.

With knowledge engine, people can cooperate on finer grains of knowledge, e.g. the significant experiences. And when we view knowledge, we also see through what significant experiences the knowledge is achieved. Thus newbies to this domain can learn by repeating those significant experiences in order to achieve the same understanding of this domain knowledge. Team members or employees inside a company can cooperate on those experiences to explore the domain and build up shared knowledge. People who have more experiences or have a better understanding of the whole can help others building their knowledge by directly interacting with their significant experiences through knowledge engine. Thus expertise can be demonstrated, and teachers emerge naturally, and they teach by learning together with learners. (Yes, the profession of teaching will be totally transformed in Knowledge Economy.)
