First, the study of social and organizational changes induced by the generalization of digital technology is approached from the perspective of document theory (documentarization and documents for action). The second topic is the design of new information dissemination and sharing systems involving new knowledge organization systems (socio-semantic web). Finally, the search for new forms of socio-technical innovation is part of the perspective of conviviality economies and is based on the analysis of cooperation processes taking into account the so-called “immaterial and relational” activities (semiotics of cooperative transactions).
