Advancing Knowledge and the Knowledge Economy

Advancing Knowledge and the Knowledge Economy [doc, pdf]
http://advancingknowledge.com/

The attention paid to the burgeoning "knowledge economy" continues to grow,
particularly within the halls of higher education, the federal government,
and in the private sector. This past January, the National Science
Foundation (in collaboration with other institutions) convened a conference
designed "to broaden and deepen common understanding of how difficult-to-
measure knowledge resources drive an increasing virtualized economy and to
assess prospects for advancing and regenerating knowledge infrastructure,
institutions, and policies." While the conference itself is finished, users
interested in these themes will appreciate this site, which offers some
material about these various issues, along with material on the program
itself and the work presented there. After examining these background
materials, visitors will want to peruse the draft papers presented at the
conference, which deal with networks of knowledge, measuring knowledge, and
knowledge clusters. [KMG]
