Federating knowledge: exploring ways to bridge wikis and notes
EDIT: Canceled for the time being, I am sick 😷😭
Join the workshop at #39C3! Day 1, 17:00 @ Free Knowledge Habitat Workshop Area.
Most people and organisations have their very own way of acquiring, organising, archiving, sharing, and collaborating on knowledge repositories. A broad spectrum of opinions and approaches resulted in a diverse and rich ecosystem of knowledge management solutions. Nevertheless, this also implies scattered and disconnected knowledge sources. What would it mean to build bridges among wikis and federate knowledge?
This workshop is going to be heavily centred on a twofold discussion, exploring the challenge of federated knowledge starting from two questions.
- What does it mean to federate knowledge repositories?
- Instead of pursuing a silver-bullet solution to embrace all use-cases, what would it mean to foster and enable interoperability for different software?
These questions stem from years of questioning and wondering how to integrate my personal note-taking and collective, participatory knowledge management at work, in organisations, institutions, and informal collectives. Recently, I began actively researching this topic as I started playing with the MediaWiki API to cross-synchronise my local Markdown notes and the XPUB wiki, the public learning wiki of the Experimental Publishing master. I am puzzled by taking advantage of the potential of a specific software (in this case, MediaWiki) while fearing of being locked-in.
Some further, more specific, insights and questions:
- Local-first approaches and software (e.g. Reflection)
- Interesting experiments based on existing protocols, such as Ibis
- What do we take of semi-open and obscure yet very cool initiatives like Anytype
- The power and the limits of plain-text: how to enable collaboration on simple Markdown files and build on top of it, as Obsidian does

I don’t read the news, but today I did, and it really got me thinking.
Internet culture has reshaped how we relate to knowledge. Alignment now seems to matter more than accuracy, and online, there is always some place, or some person, willing to offer alignment.

Based just on anecdotal evidence: it seems surprisingly common for scientists to be told by funders, managers, or policy people that mentioning #uncertainty or limitations “complicates” the message or weakens its impact [1]. (Days ago, yet another colleague shared a story on this, with other scientists nodding along, recalling similar moments happened to them)
But here's the thing: without uncertainty and "steady doubt", #science "zombifies" back into the default historical #hubris mindset
2/
This attitude reminds the first, perhaps most obvious, of the four "coping strategies" on #uncertainty in the #SciencePolicyInterface, as discussed by @Jeroen_van_der_Sluijs [2]
"Monster-exorcists want to expel the monster. Uncertainty simply does not fit within symbolical order where #science is seen as the producer of authoritative objective #knowledge" [2]
Variant: "keeping the uncertainties in knowledge claims deliberately under the table because they do not fit a political agenda" [2]
Major Cloud providers have all suffered significant outages recently. At an unprecedented rate.
They are firing engineers because of their 'AI'.
I wonder if these things are related.
@stefano I am certain they are. So far, #tech companies are pouring billions into #AI but there is little to no #roi.
For AI to be used correctly it needs to serve some otherwise mundane function, not replace staff with decades of institutional #knowledge.
So far, we've seen AI churn out glitchy #pictures and #erroneous #text #generation.
Call me a #Luddite, but this is definitely an instance where going back to the olden days is necessary, i.e. a decentralized #internet run by #humanbeings.
What #AI doesn’t know: we could be creating a global #knowledge collapse
As GenAI becomes the primary way to find #information , local and traditional #wisdom is being lost. And we are only beginning to realise what we’re missing

AI is Dunning-Kruger as a service
«A cognitive bias, where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge.»
