. they are amateurs: they have knowledge, passion and time
. they come from the internet and use it intensively
. they operate in digital and real world, outside institutions
. they share knowledge and resources for free, they do not care too much about the copyrights
. their knowledge has a dynamic character

the ontology of networked digital archive (James
MacDevitt, The User-Archivist and Collective (In)Voluntary Memory: Read/Writing the Networked Digital Archive, in: Revisualizing Visual Culture, ed. Ch. Bailey and H. Gardiner, Farnham 2010, 109-123)
. networked digital archive: open up for dispersal and aggregation
. before: the Archivist produces the Archive, theUser consumes it
. now: User-Archivist – when you browse thedigital archive, you create it

curation, radical user orientation, and broader contextualisation of records management, Archival Science, 8(1), 2008, 15-36.)
. decentralised curation - Users plan and produce the digital archive

. contextualisation of both records and the entire archival process - the importance of other than archival and organisationalcontexts of records
. more than web 2.0

Wikipedia is not only a resource for collating all human knowledge, but a framework for understanding how that knowledge came to be and to be understood; what was allowed to stand and what was not; what we agree on, and what we cannot.James Bridle, On Wikipedia, Cultural Patrimony, and Historiography,http://booktwo.org/notebook/wikipedia-historiography/

new universality (Pierre Lévy, The Second Flood. Report on Cyberculture, Council of
Europe, Paris 1996. )
. old universality: excluding the alternatives, total, connected with state, religion or ideology
. cyberspace as new universality: ratheracceptation than domination - because all can be published
