As part of my research as a Google sponsored fellow at the
Reuters Digital Vision program at Stanford University, I
developed a series of visual representations of processes,
frameworks and ecosystems supporting the Knowledge Society
and Human Development through Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT4Dev).

I am releasing them under the Creative Commons Attribution -
Noncommercial - Share Alike 2.5 License. Which means basically
that they can be copied, reproduced and distributed freely for
non-commercial use and that they can be modified and enhanced
or changed by others as long as the results are shared with the
public in a similar fashion and that the original source is
acknowledged.

I hope these "maps" are of interest to others and can be put to
use in the formulation of strategies for a significant impact of
information and communication technologies (ICT) on the
Sustainable Human Development processes and the construction of
an equitave Knowledge Society.

In putting together these conceptual maps, I have to acknowledge
and thank the collaboration, feedback and suggestions from my
Digital Vision friends and colleagues, in particular Steven Ketchpel,
Margarita Quihuis, José Arocha, Mans Olof-Ors, and Sham Bathija.

Please, add your comments and suggestions on how to improve the
maps. I will be adding detailed textual explanation of each map
soon...
