We need to have a way for people to seek out and find knowledge no matter where it is. There is a lot of discussions today in many disciplines regarding knowledge repositories. It is my belief that there is no tangible method for us to put our knowledge into a database. We can put information there, retrieve it in intelligent ways, but to assimilate that information into knowledge requires the computer on our shoulders. Knowledge resides in the people.
Wisdom is the effective use of that knowledge.
Global wisdom is achievable only when we can collaborate with knowledge workers. If I can't store knowledge in a database, then it seems to me that we need to connect our knowledge stores to the network in some way. Its the interface that is important. I have some very high level ideas on how the interface will effect the focusing. It will take time to define it.
