Resumé

We have in this lecture clarified and exemplified what the practical implications will be as we transform our society from handling old fashioned information to handling what we can call digital knowledge. The main emphasis was on
  • what new tools can we expect to use and develop to efficiently handle digital knowledge
  • how will the transformation to knowedge society impact exisiting paradigms and values concerning organisations, working methods, collaboration, project definitions and outcome, models needs, and new tools
  • we have explained existing and forthcoming mainstream devlopment within the area
