Through this book, we hope that we have shown the importance of the notion of the ecosystem and how its application in the field of knowledge management opens up interesting avenues for research and development perspectives for intelligent technologies.

The work we have presented here reflects only a part of the research we have conducted to develop a collective intelligence platform for the development of knowledge ecosystems. Above all, they mark the boundary of the research still to be carried out, in particular, to validate the design principles that we adopt and to find new ones. This work, which remains to be done, is shared between the field of experimentation and that of theoretical research.
