Explicit knowledge is the type of knowledge that can be precisely documented and communicated, such as information found in books. Tacit knowledge, on the other hand, is difficult to codify or communicate with precision and is best learned through direct experience, like social abilities or conversational skills.

Empirical knowledge is based on measurements and observations. It is probabilistic and not always certain, as seen in examples like weather forecasts that rely on sensor data but can still be inaccurate.

Know-how, or procedural knowledge, is the ability to complete real-world tasks. It often combines both explicit knowledge (like understanding building codes) and tacit knowledge (like hands-on carpentry experience).

A priori knowledge is determined through pure logic without relying on experience or observation, such as mathematical principles. A posteriori knowledge, however, is based on experience, observation, and measurement, like historical knowledge or future predictions.

Cultural knowledge includes shared meanings within social groups, such as traditional culture, pop culture, and subculture. It also encompasses cultural capital, which is cultural knowledge or status that holds future value.

Local knowledge refers to understanding of a specific area, such as a city or neighborhood. This can include knowing the people in the area, local traditions, and historical celebrations.
