English term or phrase: sharing meaning across occupational communities
Wissenschaftlicher Artikel, zitiert in einem Literaturverzeichnis. Ich will den Artikel so auf Englisch stehen lassen, aber eine deutsche Übersetzung in Klammern dahinter schreiben. Hat jemand eine Idee? (Bitte wenn möglich für den ganzen Titel!) Vielen Dank im Voraus!

Explanation:
Ein Übersetzungsversuch: Abteilungsübergreifendes Wissensmanagement: Die Veränderung der Informationskultur im Produktionsbereich
Es handelt sich hier offenbar um den Themenbereich Wissensmanagement/Informationsaustausch. Aus der unten angeführten Website ergibt sich Näheres zu dem Inhalt der Fallstudie. Daraus geht hervor, das mit den "occupational communities" offenbar unterschiedliche Bereiche/Abteilungen innerhalb einer Organisation gemeint sind.
Bechky, Beth (An Ethnographic Study of a Production Floor):
"This paper describes how knowledge is transferred between different constituencies within organizations. In particular, I examine the role of occupational communities in the transfer of information between engineers, technicians, and assemblers on a production floor. I suggest that the communities' understandings of the product range from conceptual and abstract to applied and concrete, and demonstrate that these different understandings have implications for learning across these groups. The findings indicate the significance of language barriers between occupational communities and illustrate how members of these communities resolve interactional difficulties during information transfer"

Actually, "on _a_ production floor" suggests that this is case study,

maybe ...in einer Fabrik... would render that more appropriately
