The Discovery of Operable Knowledge Features

Operable knowledge features are discovered which present a structure of knowledge which is independent of the specific meaning or use of knowledge. This discovery presents a completely new mathematically based concept of knowledge for different disciplines like economy, sociology, communication science, physics or biology. We explain how this arises by extending the well known Shannon concept of information. We show how competence and innovation are specific features of knowledge. Also it is explained how knowledge adds value to money. Some initial practical results of a pilot project in a company are discussed. Hints for application in different disciplines are given
