Knowledge Commons Past, Present, And Future, Michael J. Madison
Knowledge Commons Past, Present, And Future, Michael J. Madison
Articles
The project now known as Governing Knowledge Commons, or GKC, was launched more than 15 years ago on the intuition that skepticism of intellectual property law and information exclusivity was grounded in anecdote and ideology rather than in empiricism. Structured, systematic, empirical research on mechanisms of knowledge sharing was needed. GKC aimed to help scholars produce it.

From the springboard of integration next …
