The document provides an overview and roadmap for establishing a Virtual Knowledge Commons (VKC) at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa. It outlines the project in four phases from April 2010 to March 2011. The first phase involves defining objectives and scope. The second phase develops a roadmap for implementation in consultation with stakeholders. Phase three implements the roadmap, and phase four establishes practices and assesses the VKC based on the roadmap. The goal is to extend knowledge sharing and collaboration beyond the physical Knowledge Commons into a virtual space, amplifying connections between people and information across the organization.
