4. Modern knowledge need: connections
between agents and information
Different approaches to meeting those
knowledge needs
Approaches blend socio-technical
sensemaking approaches
Technologies for this context need to be
developed
11. The last decade, two defining
trends:
1. Participatory culture and social/technical
connectivity (Rise of the Individual)
2. Transparency and surveillance culture
(Rise of Data and Analytics)

21. Agents in a system possess only partial
information
(Miller and Page 2007)
…to make sense and act meaningfully
requires connections to be formed between
agents
