A body of knowledge (BoK) is not just a professional reading list, a library, a website or a collection of websites, a description of professional functions or a collection of information. A BoK is a list of knowledge, skills and abilities (competencies), organized into an integrated structure (taxonomy) with a specific level of accomplishment specified for each competency (proficiency). It is the sum of knowledge within a profession that includes proven traditional practices which are widely accepted, emerging innovative practices as well as published and unpublished material. It is a living body of information that requires updating and feeding to remain current.
