EAGER: Collaborative Research: Digital Infrastructures of Mobile Knowledge Work

这项研究的重点是工作实践和数字基础设施使用的快速增长，高价值的人口在这里称为“移动的知识专业人员”（MKP）。MKP拥有特定的、通常罕见的专业知识：他们是所有行业的研究人员和知识经纪人，他们将专业知识、创造力和数字资源联合收割机结合起来，成功完成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锐性，以有效和准确地利用数字和组织资源-这是一种基于了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。这项研究将推动移动的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存档标准的发展。更广泛地说，它的研究结果将帮助组织更好地设想未来的MKP劳动力，帮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新的标准，以共享民族志数据作为社区资源。

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.
