This part of the globalissues.org web site looks at the issue of intellectual property rights on food ingredients and traditional, common knowledge. Food patents based on knowledge that has been around for centuries is controversial, risking threats to food security due to concentrated ownership of this otherwise common knowledge.

Traditional Healers Organization For Africa: " Biopiracy and Indigenous Traditional Medicine Knowledge The blatant plunder of indigenous knowledge and genetic resources in South Africa continues unhindered and without State monitoring. Since 1997, We have been monitoring private and public enterprises (or their intermediaries) who are actively collecting, sampling and acquiring traditional knowledge for the development of pharmaceutical products. What concerns us is that international organizations are entering South Africa to carry out this research. Not even the World Health Organization are free of scrutiny in this regard. "Biopiracy" refers to the use of intellectual property laws (patents, plant breeders' rights) to gain exclusive monopoly control over genetic resources that are based on the knowledge and innovation of indigenous peoples. Biopiracy and bioprospecting don't just happen in the field ; biopiracy is even more likely to take place in the laboratories of industry and academia, and in patent offices in the cities not even in South Africa."

Knowledge, taken as a synonym for learning, and its properties in a matrix of types and qualities. Another resource I found while evaluating the John Willinsky video in module 5. You can find properties, if you look for them.

While we are talking about (open) education, let us look for the handbook. Part I, Chapter 7: "E-learning - an introduction"

It is an essential document for educators and librarians. The Handbook focuses on issues of knowledge and learning and teaching and leading its readers to a mode of considering education as revisiting learners' prior knowledge into the mode of thinking and understanding through the study of primary sources. After Biggs and Moore, the authors of the Handbook view students as individuals who actively construct their knowledge and learning as a process that involves a process of individual transformation. The document touches all the essential questions of education including motivation and deep approach to studying. curriculum design, the use of technologies in learning opportunities and other.

Esta página web describe los tipos de conocimiento que hay, es decir, si hablamos de Open Knowledge, ¿por qué no hablar de los tipos de conocimiento? Se mencionan el conocimiento cotidiano, el religioso (dogmático), el reflexivo o filosófico, el conocimiento científico (sólo toma en cuenta principios del positivismo lógico, que no se describen como parte de tal corriente) y el conocimiento artístico.

From the UNESCO Institute for Education, published in 2002. Quote "As humanity invented writing 5000 years ago, the culture of shared knowledge reached a new dimension; its horizon went on expanding until it became planetary through Internet." That is just something I needed while evaluating the John Willinsky video in module 5, hoping to find an answer to his question why do we want access to knowledge.

Since I'm in South Africa, ... --- "My campaign has been working on the National Key Points Act for over a year, and some of the people in my team have been working on it for more than a decade. In this session, people who'd never even heard of the National Key Points broke new ground within 20 minutes."

A complex question; a simple answer

An interesting use of the medium to poke fun at the medium. Thanks for sharing - I also tweeted this link out. How meta, but also what an important reminder that the book is still a central part to knowledge sharing.

really nice

Comparto un artículo en el que se explica muy bien que son los repositorios digitales (vía Verde del Acceso Abierto).

Muy bueno, sí.

El conocimiento abierto no es tan solo acerca de estadísticas y datos, también tiene que ver con el saber cotidiano no escrito y nuestra experiencia. El " saber hacer" es uno de los activos más valiosos y sin embargo es intangible y muy difícil de transmitir.
