Overall Knowledge Structure

l Domains – topics (slices or subject matter) l Dimensions – for each topic there are

problems & solutions; overall there are also international responses.

l Connectivity – the linkages between them l Frames – skeletons & outlines to fill out l Knowledge – searchable data base & e-library

Knowledge for Transitions to Sustainability

l From supply chain to knowledge chain l From material production to meeting social needs l From isolated understanding to increased value

due to knowledge

l From knowledge creation to knowledge diffusion l From knowledge diffusion to Innovation &

creation

Different users value different things

  • knowledge base repository – with url
  • search & navigation system
  • educational system (the ontology-knowledge

structure for 14 features of sustainability)

  • open system of distributed knowledge inputs
  • Other
