EAGER: Collaborative Research: Digital Infrastructures of Mobile Knowledge Work

本研究的重点是快速增长的高价值人群的工作实践和数字基础设施的使用，这些人群在这里被称为“移动知识专业人员”（MKPs）。mkp拥有特定的、通常是罕见的专业知识：他们是各行各业的研究人员和知识经纪人，将专业知识、创造力和数字资源结合起来，成功地完成了他们对智力要求很高的工作。MKP的专业成功需要复杂的社会和技术敏敏度，以有效和准确地利用数字和组织资源——这是一套基于理解技术系统的可用性、用途和潜力及其与组织、时间和空间边界的关系的技能。这项研究旨在推动移动知识工作和网络基础设施（CI）的发展，同时促进新的数据收集方法和档案标准的发展。更广泛地说，它的发现将帮助组织更好地设想未来的MKP劳动力，协助设计师寻求建立新的知识基础设施，并帮助学者原型和实施作为社区资源共享民族志数据的新兴标准。

This research focuses on the work practices and digital infrastructure use of a fast-growing, high-value population called here 'mobile knowledge professionals' (MKPs). MKPs have specific, typically rare, expertise: they are researchers and knowledge brokers across all industries who combine expertise, creativity and digital resources to successfully accomplish their intellectually demanding work. An MKP's professional success requires sophisticated social and technical acumen to efficiently and accurately leverage digital and organizational resources -- a skill set that is based on understanding the availability, uses and potential of technological systems and their relationship to organizational, temporal and spatial boundaries. This research stands to advance the state of mobile knowledge work and cyberinfrastructure (CI), while simultaneously enabling the development of novel data collection methods and archival standards. More broadly, its findings will help organizations better envision the MKP workforce of the future, assist designers in their quest to build new knowledge infrastructures, and help scholars prototype and implement nascent standards for sharing ethnographic data as a community resource.
