knowledge needs a linked web future.

libraries + commons = infrastructure.

pick the most likely scenario circa 1990:

(apologies to Jamie Boyle)Friday, November 20, 2009

less likely in reality than the theoretical impossibilities of free software and wikipedia.

but it is coming, one way or another...

1. power is shifting to the user of content.

media company response:

protect the business model.

after all, it’s your music.

now a computer company dominates the music industry.

rip. mix. burn.

after all, it’s your knowledge.

2. the “paper” is not the natural knowledge

unit of scholarship.

captured by technology...

knowledge in“permanent beta”

knowledge units:

narratives“data”technologies

(not the old institutions!)

“small parts loosely joined”

1. shared standards2. shared infrastructure3. democratized access4. rights to the user

3. whatever the knowledge, it has to

start with legal openness.

side effect of using paper to transfer knowledge...

semantics: what does it mean?

5.libraries: infrastructure for the

next network.

process revolutions: the network

institutional revolutions: the library

the library to me:

location, structure, discovery, preservation

“In any case, it is clear that a library containing all possible books, arranged at random, is

equivalent (as a source of information) to a library containing zero books.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_of_Babel

“the five laws of the library”

1. Books are for use. 2. Every reader his [or her] book.

3. Every book its reader. 4. Save the time of the User.

5. The library is a growing organism.

“the five laws of the library”

what’s the digital version of the five laws?
