The Australian Standard (AS 5037—2005) defines knowledge management as follows:
"A trans-disciplinary approach to improving organisational outcomes and learning, through maximising the use of knowledge. It involves the design, implementation and review of social and technological activities and processes to improve the creating, sharing, and applying or using of knowledge. Knowledge management is concerned with innovation and sharing behaviours, managing complexity and ambiguity through knowledge networks and connections, exploring smart processes, and deploying people-centric technologies."

Pragmatics
Dealing with Language Challenge
Pragmatics LINGUISTICS the study of how particular words in a language are chosen and used

In recent years, perspectives on language learning have been changing as researchers have started to place more emphasis on socio-cultural and constructivist aspects of language learning and language use (e.g. Ochs 1993, Donato & McCormick 1994, Wells 1999, Lantolf 2000, Zuengler et al. 2001).
Proponents of this more social view, in the words of Zuengler et al. (2001:1) "have conceived of language as a dynamic and socially grounded practice" rather than as an autonomous system that is made up of abstract representations at the levels of phonology, morphology, syntax and lexis.
The focus has thus shifted from individual learners and what they need to do and know to communicate to a more social view of communication as a joint process. As Young (2001:3) puts it, "current research has advanced the position that abilities, actions, and activities do not belong to the individual but are jointly constructed by all participants".

SCAR foresight activities
European Commission > Research > Agriculture > SCAR > SCAR mandate
Foresight activities
Following the second plenary meeting, the SCAR decided to launch a long-term foresight process aimed at assessing the outlook of European agriculture by 2015-2020.
The SCAR-WG is currently preparing the ground for a research agenda on foresight initiatives undertaken by SCAR, based on existing foresight studies/activities and possible mapping/networking of foresight activities at national, EU and international level.
An important step towards this objective might be a foresight conference on the future of European agriculture to be held in the first half of 2007 during the German presidency.
