The new knowledge

David Weinberger gave a fascinating presentation, http://www.kmworld.com/conference/2012/ (last presentation under tab “KMWorld 2012 Keynotes). Well worth the 45 minutes…

He talked about how knowledge is changing. One example he uses is a book vs. a web article. When a book is published it’s a completed product. It’s done and won’t change. It was what we considered knowledge in the past. However, when an article is published on the web, the webpage can be updated, people can link to it, conversation can add or detract from it. He talks about power of the knowledge network that is created around that article.

His insights on taxonomies are also worth considering.  I won't steal his thunder here...

Speaking of a knowledge network, I’d be interested in your thoughts on his presentation
