Where and When was Knowledge Managed?
  The chapter presents a case study of new technology in a rapid response social work unit that is part of an e-government program in a Scottish municipality.
The objective of the project was to improve the configuration and delivery of resources for housebound clients, and it was construed as a simple knowledge integration exercise by senior management. Taking a social informatics perspective, the authors interpret the case in terms of competing discourses or multiple versions of KM, and suggest that KM versioning is a characteristic, but underexplored, feature of complex projects that involve multiple actors with different knowledge trajectories.
