Increasingly, get it on the web,
preferably at no charge, seems to be where it is at.
Google is becoming all pervasive.
The challenge is how to tweak the current
service-providers’ model so that instead of them working from a base of
assuming that nobody else can find the knowledge, and therefore they can sell
their services to clients, they are instead assuming that everybody can access
the knowledge, but what clients want is service-providers who can determine
which knowledge is relevant and provide direction in the particular situation.
This will be a paradigm shift, and we’re
not there yet. I know that individuals may feel that this is how they’ve
always worked, but the general environment doesn’t seem to be there yet …
otherwise we’d be much more interested in Open Source and publishing all
our reports via the web …

standards on building preservation
As I get more experience, I start to look
for other, more-effective, ways of getting the knowledge out to the
industry.
David,
I am with you on that. Open Society at heart.
I want to know about techniques and strategies on how to disseminate knowledge,
standards and good practice.
