Sceptical Doubts Concerning Knowledge Capture within the Open Innovation Initiative

This paper presents an epistemic framework on knowledge management, theory, capture and representation within the Open Innovation domain. With view to this paper’s objective that is to contribute to ‘knowledge capture’ the effort will be directed to the development of a different basis of dialogue. Thus, we argue that ‘knowledge models’ based on concept maps need supplementary considerations on knowledge theory. Our purpose to sign the closeness of today’s understanding about knowledge and knowledge capture mechanisms to radical empiricism foundations represented by Hume’s work is the basic epistemic standing point. Furthermore, the use of Hume’s words on ‘sceptical doubts’ is due to our purpose to underline our observation that current bibliography is occupied with an intense empiricism. This work supports the idea that the system of knowledge that is for Leibniz a system of truths should be deductively based on the division and the analysis of concepts and symbolisms.
