The knowledge node acts as support to
  • put in and find information in the global networks
  • person(s) to persons(s) communication and/or common working space

In the global environment we will use more or less automated object handling. Objects which are pushed automatically to the users client machines or pulled there by the user. See for example Marimba's Castanet tuner at http://www.marimba.com/doc/User_Documentation/Castanet_User_Docs/tuner/index.html. Try also to instal and use the tuner.

The security issues are important and can today be handled by using so called Java Virtual Machines, JVM, i.e. a virtual isolated computer in the client computer. See also http://java.sun.com and http://www.javaworld.com.
