A knowledge network is well described in one of the most talked about education articles of recent times entitled "A Revolution in Knowledge Sharing" http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ERM0350.pdf . The paper is written by Donald Norris, John Mason, Robbie Robson, Paul Lefrere and Geoff Collier and was published in EduCause Review (September/October 2003). In this article the authors discuss what it means to know and to understand, in the context of learning.
There are many software products out there which deliver what this article describes as "know what". "Know what" includes knowledge management, knowledge management systems, information structure, semantics and "e-learning". However these software products still under-perform in six of the seven areas as defined in this article:
- Know who: networks, authorities, individuals, practitioners, collaboration
- Know how: networking, consulting, collaborating, sharing, researching, reflecting, developing, testing, maintaining, doing, learning, educating, training, innovating, managing, navigating
- Know why: the context, business planning, strategy, reasons to learn
- Know where: where to, where from, strategic positioning, planning, reflecting
- Know when: timing, pacing, planning, scheduling, context, just-in-time
- Know if: scenarios, scenario development, foresight, contingency, just in case.
