Interesting work on the mapping of weblog communities. The idea here is that a 'knowledge flow' is the communication of some knowledge, typically a natural language post on a weblog as viewed by a reader. This research project is attempting to establish "what knowledge is being exchanged and to what degree the participants in the communication share conceptualisations." The research involves the use of a tool called BlogTrace and this entry links to several papers discussing the research, diagrams illustrating knowledge flow, and some reflections. Good stuff.CRLF
