Purpose of Knowledge Bases

Praxis knowledge bases are designed to intentionally organize a set of knowledge for a targeted audience, linked by a specific theme, sector of activity, approach, event, etc. Organizations can create their own knowledge bases to facilitate access to their organizational knowledge.​

Praxis allows for the creation of six types of knowledge bases: Thematic, Territorial, Organizational, Sectoral, Event-based, and General.​

To ensure that a knowledge base reaches its audience and becomes a reference, the Projet collectif team recommends that it possesses a set of characteristics.​

Examples of Knowledge Bases

  • ArtAI: General knowledge base that brings together practical, theoretical and experiential knowledge from the ArtIA project, led by Sporobole, Société des arts technologiques (SAT) and Projet collectif.
  • Open Knowledge Day: An event-based knowledge base that gathers information leading up to and knowledge shared during the annual Open Knowledge Day event.
  • Montréal en commun: An organizational knowledge base that brings together learnings from the Montréal en commun urban innovation program.

Creating a Knowledge Base

All knowledge bases are developed with support from the Projet collectif editorial team.​
