About

Knowledge Management · Information Systems · Digital Scholarship

I'm Erik Haines, a Montréal-based researcher and knowledge management specialist working at the intersection of information architecture, research information management, digital curation, and knowledge mobilization.

My professional experience spans information technology, financial services, human services, and organizational work. I am also the Founder and Director of the Metapattern Institute.

About this project

Erik Haines.org is a developing knowledge management and research repository project.

Its purpose is to bring together materials from my previous research and public scholarship—including essays, podcast conversations, bibliographies, and related sources—and organize them into a more accessible, interconnected research resource.

The project explores approaches to digital curation, information architecture, metadata, knowledge graphs, research discovery, and AI-assisted knowledge work.

Rather than functioning as another blog or publication platform, the website is intended to become a structured environment for discovering, preserving, contextualizing, and connecting knowledge.

My existing essays and reflections remain available through Integral [+] Facticity on Substack. The original podcast recordings and episode materials remain accessible through their established archives.
