I think...

"community+data+telecentre+ICTs = 'knowledge production, dissemination
and refinement'"

Perhaps heuristic and/or heuristic with accreditation?

I'd rather: Community + ICTs ->Information and Content.


I view the telecenter itself as a network. At the center of the network
is the community. Extending from the center are the branches, such as
data, ICT and group focus. The outer aspects of these branches are
connected like a spider web - and that outer layer is the core of the
knowledge network. The interesting thing, I think, is that the center of
the telecentre is the community instead of the technology.... as someone
with a technology background, I think it may be non-intuitive to other
people with technology backgrounds.
