In recent years the creation of Internet-based knowledge has become increasingly significant. However, with regard to the influence and control of knowledge management processes, knowledge communities indicate that there are specific problems in creating and distributing knowledge. People without Internet access are excluded from this knowledge dissemination. Communication Centre Initiative Rheinland-Pfalz (CCIRP) — a co-operative project involving various ministries and the University of Koblenz-Landau — was set up to address these problems. It has shown how concepts of knowledge generation in knowledge communities (e.g. cc-expert) can be realised and how this knowledge can be distributed using traditional media.
