Knowledge creation in agropedia: towards a methodology to compare peer content to certified content

Published:27 October 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

Knowledge co-creation and sharing in a knowledge based digital ecosystem is supported and facilitated by open source web-2.0 technology enabled ICT infrastructure which forms the open knowledge space (OKS). We attempt to evaluate the impact of an OKS constructed by a pioneering initiative 'agropedia' in Indian Agriculture domain. Our evaluation domain consists of 'assessment of participation' of knowledge actors in the evolving digital knowledge ecosystem, and the 'quality of contribution' of the content which is produced by the respective participating agents.
