Structure
Structure explains where topics sit in the model: knowledge areas, topic spaces, segments, and building blocks.
After this page, you can
- distinguish the four levels of knowledge structure
- trace a topic from knowledge area to node
- read segments as subject subareas
Structure model
From broad knowledge space to concrete building block
Each level sharpens the subject context until a uniquely addressable knowledge node is reached.
- L1
Macro cluster
broad knowledge area
- L2
Cluster
connected topic space
- L3
Segment
subject subarea
- L4
Content building block
concrete knowledge unit
What structure is for
Structure is the best entry point when you cannot yet name a single building block. It shows the subject location first and then the relevant subareas.
- Macro clusters define broad knowledge areas.
- Clusters group a concrete topic space.
- Segments make that topic space manageable.
What a segment is
A segment is a subject section inside a cluster. It is smaller than a topic space and larger than a single building block. Segments present related content as a structured part of a problem area.
- A segment groups building blocks with a similar subject purpose.
- A segment can be a foundation, practice field, decision view, or operational aspect.
- Segment names provide direct subject orientation.
Explore a topic
Open a knowledge area first, choose a topic space, and use segments as a reading order or filter.
- Get the overview first.
- Select a segment next.
- Then open the matching building blocks.
