What is it about?
This chapter aims to compare two main ways to manage knowledge: companies and commons. The first one faces with challenges of boundaries: boundaries between projects, between organisations, between types of knowledge, between scientific disciplines and, of course, between actors. Those challenges are taken in charge by the topic of knowledge transfer.

Why is it important?
Knowledge transfer is a misunderstood. Knowledge is simply not transferable. We use the case of Wikipedia in order to analyse the build of regulation rules of writing and publishing. In this case cognitive dynamics is undertaken by public communities. The growth of Knowledge and the rules of regulation are managed interactively.
Perspectives
In short, we want to show that the cognitive and organisational approaches can be linked and that they shed light on many knowledge sharing situations. Boundaries are no longer the object of attention, the focus having switched to the collective process of creating new concepts.
