The Free Dictionary:
“The things that we know, but are unaware of knowing”
Slavoj Žižek

Unknown unknowns“There are known knowns; there are things we know we know.
We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know.”
Donald Rumsfeld, February 12, 2002 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_are_known_knowns
Unknown knowns

Things we could have known, but don’t know Things that others know, but we don’t know (Lukas Koster)

Same content types as before: publications
Less content: technical, political, commercial obstacles
Known knowns
Unknown knowns
Same content sources as before: catalogues, databases, journals

Known unknowns
Discovery?
No new, unexpected, accidental findings
No discovery
Except that libraries discover:
There are lots of errors in their own data
Their workflows are not fit for unified indexing
Publishers don’t care about libraries, science, knowledge

May 18, 2012 Discovery tools: a rearguard action? ELAG2012 53
Bibliotekssystem som begrepp - är det yesterday’s news?
• Är det t.o.m så att det börjar bli dags (på riktigt) att luckra upp innehållet i våra isolerade bibliotekssystem (på riktigt) och låta vår data interagera med omvärldens data (på riktigt)?
” The Big Question here is: do we need discovery systems based on centuries old physical library and publishing practices?
Or do libraries need to really go and look elsewhere and make use of new online information sources and linked open data technology?
