The Dynamic Knowledge Initiative (DKI) provides a mechanism for the NMC to generate, distribute, and share knowledge on topics of interest to the organization. The NMC’s Series of Online Conferences, through which the NMC is building a web of knowledge and online resources, is the most visible expression of this initiative.

The DKI is a multi-year effort to explore knowledge identification, capture, and coding processes, and to develop tools in support of these kinds of processes to serve its several communities of practice.

As the first step toward this goal, a survey of the literature and existing research was undertaken in 2003, and the list below includes a number of summaries of key articles and other publications that will help serve as the foundation for the DKI dialogs and efforts.
