RECONCILING TEMPUS AND HORA - Policy Knowledge in an Information Wired Environment

Sylvie Occelli

2010

Abstract

Societal transformation and dramatic improvements in Information Communication Technologies, are changing the context in which policy activity and the underlying knowledge process operate. There is a need to develop a policy knowledge representation, capable of informing the co-evolution between policy process and knowledge contents, while itself evolving in order to steer the process. This note is a contribution to this endeavour. The functional roles of knowledge representation, in implementing a software tool for policy design is discussed. As the technological potential is very promising, there is a need that the socio-cultural context does not fall behind to get hold of it.
