I can't think of any specific term off the top of my head, but collection of knowledge could be translated as:

Conlectio scientiae

Above should read "corpus scientiae", which is also a good translation. Corpus is used a lot in legal terms.

well, scientia is "knowledge." I would use "corpus" for body of instead of collection. So that would be:

corpus scientiae
