Meta-knowledge is a fundamental conceptual instrument in such research and scientific domains as,knowledge engineering,knowledge management, and others dealing with study and operations on knowledge, seen as a unifiedobject/entities, abstracted from local conceptualizations and terminologies.Examples of the first-level individual meta-knowledge are methods of planning, modeling,tagging, learning and every modification of adomain knowledge. Indeed, universal meta-knowledge frameworks have to be valid for the organization of meta-levels of individual meta-knowledge.
Meta-knowledge may be automatically harvested from electronic publication archives, to reveal patterns in research, relationships between researchers and institutions and to identify contradictory results.[1]
