Umbrella organizations and industry associations are knowledge- and network ornganizations within a sector. They offer suport in promoting and proffesionalizing a sector. Sometimes though ... for members only.

Knowledge centers are quite diverse. Some of them collect inforamation on themes revelevant for multiple disciplines. For instance on cultural education and cultural entrepreneurship. Other organizations are very knowledgeable on certain subjects within a sector, for instance: on digitalizing heritage.
