Knowledge ecology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Knowledge Ecology: A paradigm to understand or influence how knowledge is created, used, shared and advanced, within organizations and social systems. Most important in a knowledge ecology, is inter-relationships, collaborations and cause and effects that condition how individuals, organizations and social movements create, accumulate and use knowledge, including the rules concerning access to knowledge.

This term is particularly relevant when technology is used to compile, management and coordinate knowledge for a common purpose.

A Knowledge Ecology can involve diverse forms and types of knowledge, and complex relationships between those who create and use knowledge.
