From preservation to perpetuation @ KM Deep Approach

From preservation to perpetuation @ KM Deep Approach

We’re quite familiar with the problems of knowledge loss, especially of the digital variety, as formats and technologies continue to change every few years. In response, we’ve taken steps such as digital records management and information governance to preserve our critical knowledge artifacts.

“Knowledge perpetuation” extends these practices to include not only the preservation of knowledge, but also the curation of its evolution.

We define knowledge perpetuation as: the capacity for extending and projecting actionable knowledge over long periods of time spanning multiple generations and even multiple millennia.

The challenges

So, what’s stopping us from creating as many knowledge continuums as we want, whenever we want? Three major challenges are:

·         records management policies,

·         knowledge artifact design and

·         ontology management

Actions to take

·         making knowledge perpetuation as well-recognized and accepted as the current practice of physical preservation;

·         advancing the science and methods needed to support knowledge perpetuation and the design, construction and curation of knowledge continuums; and

·         taking an active role in helping to ensure that knowledge perpetuation is included as part of national-level science policies and priorities.
