Daniela Pscheida in her presentation on A new paradigm of knowledge?
This research reveals the importance of participation and collaboration among not only the researchers and academics, but the embracing of a participative and collaborative culture which extends to general public and citizens of interests. The wikipedia and Citizen projects were just some of the examples of pioneer work illustrating the importance of keeping knowledge updated with a wider authorship, with its content being “editable, though controllable or manageable”. This requires a paradigm shift of “Community Building” and “information sharing” when creating new and emergent knowledge.
