Knowledge ManagementAbstract:
This lecture gives an introduction into a specific scholarly technique of reading and excerpting texts and organizing personal knowledge: the fundamental principle of building a “Zettelkasten” (slip box), as practiced by Niklas Luhmann. The aim of this lecture is, first, to illustrate the theoretical background and working principle of Niklas Luhmann’s Zettelkasten; second, a computer based implementation of this technique is demonstrated, which – in contrast to many other available software solutions – aims at reproducing the working principle of Niklas Luhmann’s Zettelkasten.
