Knowledge refinement in the digital era

Knowledge refinement is the ever ongoing process in science (and beyond it) that shepherds knowledge from lab notebooks into journal articles and then on to review articles, monographs, reference handbooks, university textbooks, and finally professional domain expertise and school education for a wider public. It has been going on for a few centuries, but we hardly talk about it. In fact, I made up the term because I couldn't find an established one. Computational knowledge has not yet found its place in the knowledge refinement process. Why not? And what can we do to make it happen?
