s1) (corp_to_stig) Changing from the traditional hierarchical method of organization to a more stigmergic means by sophisticated use of data is not easy. Ideally, the order could be in the data and not in hierarchies of people which often create roadblocks for innovation and opportunity. Having more sophisticated use of data could show how two people could work together. This could enable corporations to more easily work with schools and for individuals to find ways to orient and plan for working with them as well. It could also enable virtual organizations for new projects and initiatives that might someday provide the same sort of output that a corporation would. The future evolution, if EISPP becomes a part of it, might be some sort of hybrid where there exists some hierarchy for some time, or perhaps long periods of time, while new hierarchies form to manage the creation of value in a fair way. If I recall correctly, Bob Haugen developing Value Networks for Sensorica thought that in peer-to-peer production there would still need to be some hierarchy to manage the creation of value. The Decentralized Information Group at MIT is going towards the direction of Decentralized Web Apps with the Linked Data Platform. This is illustrated by Joe Presbey's Thesis. He mentions that a microblogging application called cimba, a calendar app, and a simple spreadsheet has been developed. s2) (distributed_payment) In review, for EISPP, we have multiple projects that depend each other. Say the node labeled Project A has edges that link it to other projects that are dependencies. s3) (distributed_payment_2) Maybe I wish to model value going to projects. If I chose to make a donation to project A but also to projects that it directly depends on I have value flowing to project A, but also projects B, C, E, J and H. s4) (distributed_payment_3) I can also have nodes B, C, E, J and H distributing value to their neighboring nodes. s5) (distributed_payment_4) Or their nodes. To what limit? s7) (figure1) I could distribute this value with trust networks developed by Ryan Fugger. This is the concept used by Ripple mentioned earlier. For the trust network, say Amy owes 4 dollars to David and Chris owes 3 dollars to Bob. s8) (figure2) Also say that David does not trust Amy but he trusts Chris. In addition, Bob trusts Amy and Chris, and Chris trusts David. To have Amy owe David four dollars, and preserve who trusts who, Amy agrees to owe Bob 4 dollars. Bob in turn agrees to owe Chris four dollars. Chris then agrees to owe David 4 dollars. s9) (figure3) The net result is Amy owes Bob 4 dollars, which then becomes 3 dollars due to a dollar difference from Bob agreeing to owe 4 dollars to Chris and Chris being in debt to Bob for 3 dollars. Chris then owes David 4 dollars, but since Bob agreed to pay him 4 dollars he only really owes David 3 dollars. To David however, it seems like he is owed 4 dollars by Chris. The net result is each person has debts and credits with only the people they trust, and the amounts do not change. As a word of note, the projects in value streams that these donations follow might be approached by a DEX, or data exchange specification, provided by the PLCS standard mentioned in the Applications video. In addition, this DEX might be considered with Bob Haugen's recipies to describe the production of products within value streams which follow the patterns of value networks. s10) (licenses) With the visualization shown earlier, I could use images to represent specific things. I could show a particular license, and perhaps whether royalties are due or not. s11) (licenses_cc_1) These cc Licenses come from the Creative Commons website. One nice thing is that Hal Abelson et al. already developed RDF representations of them. Descriptions of the licenses are listed for reference s12) (licenses_cc_2) (quiet) s13) (licenses_cc_3) (quiet) s14) (licenses_cc_4) (quiet) s15) (licenses_other) I also have another license called the Free Art License. s16) (licenses_icons) The icons come from the open icon library. Thanks! As a final note, the paper on R43ples mentions a project called ComVantage that seeks to build virtual enterprises with linked data. I have not looked into it deeply, so I have nothing much to say other than I remember them looking into application integration as well as mobile phone use. I also recall Tim Berners-Lee e-mailing Pascal Hitzler on the semantic-web w3c list saying that any linked data that is open should be called linked open data, and that there was lots of money in enterprise application integration.
