Abstract

Knowledge Engineering (KE) usually deals with representation and visualization challenges, sometimes socio or bio inspired, collective aspects being quite often taken into account. Nevertheless with knowledge-based Territorial Intelligence, KE is faced with natively situated know-how, distributed hope and network-centered emerging organizations, as far as this domain aims at providing tools to support and develop our local and territorial communities. Furthermore knowledge-based Territorial Intelligence has to cope with its own paradoxes and success, to challenge its sustainable existence: as a matter of fact, thanks to big data and its digital tools, people may have thought that they where living in a global village, territories-independent, practicing a perpetual nomadism. So they now require participation for defining their collective policies and social perspectives, leading to their common sustainable development. How knowledge-based Territorial Intelligence will manage to make available efficient solutions to support and develop our original way to collectively inhabit places and earth? That is the question we try to present throughout some technical and scientific aspects along this dedicated chapter.

    This definition emerged from the experience born out of the spreading of the Catalyse method in Europe (http://www.territorial-intelligence.eu/catalyse/), which, since 1989, has offered tools for territorial diagnosis, assessment and observation for the stakeholder partnerships eager to increase, conduct and assess sustainable development projects within their territories.
