Knowledge artifacts within knowing communities to foster collective knowledge

Abstract

In this paper we present a novel model of knowledge creation and diffusion (viz. the Knowledge-Stream model) in communities of knowledgeable citizens (viz. knowing communities). This model takes into account the individual, social and cultural dimensions of knowledge (what we denote as co-knowledge) to account for the various ways knowledge is "circulated" among people (i.e., members of any social structure); we also propose the concept of IT Knowledge Artifact, as the technological driver enabling such a circulation, and exemplify its main roles in a citizen science project that we are going to undertake in the domains of the urban cultural heritage and the food- and diet-related traditions.
