The U.N. 'Open Science Framework' Could Speed Up Discovery
Phys.org
Science, at its heart, is a collaborative effort. The eureka moments are headline-grabbing and enormously important, but they don't come out of the blue. They emerge from years or even decades of testing, rejecting and refining ideas, painstakingly building a body of knowledge. Progress would be extremely slow if we all had to start at the beginning, or unknowingly tread paths others have already been down.

Will Google Ever Lose Its Throne as King of Search?
Digital Trends
You know that a technology’s changed the world when it becomes a verb. It speaks to a level of popularity and ubiquity that goes beyond the wildest dreams of marketeers. “I’ll WhatsApp you.” “I spent the evening YouTubing.” Disrupting any of these aforementioned brand-name products is beyond difficult — it requires a change in the default way that we relate to some standard action.

Data: Share It Generously, Guard It Jealously
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
Science is a collaborative, data-sharing enterprise. If it is to thrive, it must allow far-flung researchers to take advantage of web-based data infrastructures.

2022 Will See Firms Adopt a Global, Multi-lingual Approach to KM
AIThority
The KM function undoubtedly delivered significant benefits to firms during the pandemic. At the same time, it brought to light the function’s limitations, mainly due to configuration and structures as country-specific repositories. The sudden switch to remote working and now the new hybrid work environment, has created a business need for firms to expand their KM systems so that they serve as centralized global, yet multi-lingual-enabled knowledge repositories, working as effectively and intuitively in each of the identified languages.
