The books bear titles like "Museums and the Shaping of Knowledge" (by Eilean Hooper-Greenhill), "Nature's Museums" (by Carla Yanni) and "Possessing Nature" (by Paula Findlen).

A realist review of studies suggests that social networks have a range of functions, including shaping of knowledge, discourses and narratives; shaping of stigma and deviance; negotiation of responsibilities and coordination; relationships with health services; and substitution of health professionals by lay networks [ 15].
Moreover, networks can shape the pattern of knowledge diffusion, conveying tacit knowledge and reducing cognitive as well as organisational distance.

However, this analysis always requires the calculation of stable shapes, and knowledge of the order of the possible mechanisms may provide the designer with useful data.
Figure 2a shows the final estimated knowledge space produced by the learning algorithm (after 500 trials), which models fairly well the shape of the knowledge space defined in the simulator module.
"These people are not doing the work of scientists," said David Weinberger, a senior researcher at the Berkman Center for the Internet and Society at Harvard, who is writing a book about the changing shape of human knowledge in the online era.
Human, structural, and relational capital can be considered separate constructs with their own nomological networks of antecedents, covariates, and consequences [ 25]; yet they are also interdependent and collectively responsible for shaping the stock of knowledge in an organization.
