It will examine, briefly, the current situation and developments in information and knowledge systems. It will also present an initial concise framework for further action. In phase two, local experiences, expectations and the information needs will be acquired, adding rich local content and concrete examples where possible. A workshop will be organised with all stakeholders and contributors, in which the broad set of information will be discussed and the framework will be validated. Endquote
