agreed, this is exactly why I phrased the "Commons research" part in less abstract terms :-) fine with me to say "incentives for sharing", but for the basics in this topic, I still prefer to a. put the issues question-like and b. say, e.g., "what drives sharing". I have de-deleted this part of the topic because this is where critcism of capitalism becomes most visible, and I certainly want this criticism to to be visible at OKCon 2011. * Incentives for sharing <<< important * Types of knowledge suitable for digitization, collaboration and sharing<<< unclear if criteria must apply lump-sum or may apply alternatively -- NB: the idea initially included knowledge types like care, respect, tolerance, open-mindedness that I would consider non-digitizable - yet much can be learned from the forms of "governance" generally applied in these spheres of knowledge myintervention aims to make explicit an implicit limitation in opendefinition: "Open Definition provides criteria for openness in relation to data, content, and software services." and also in the Open Knowledge Definition (OKD) -beware of reducing "knowledge" to 'digitizable knowledge' only - too limited and certainly not suitable to help bridge the digital gaps, either... * Governance of the knowledge commons >>> I think this topic is very important, but it is a bit disconnected to the other section, no? <<<- let us make links and build bridges, then * How groups of people across the globe may do it differently and for which reasons they share their knowledge (for kinds of knowledge see thetracks) * How diffferent cultures of sharing can enhance each other in Technology, Law, Society and Democracy, Culture and Education, and in Science and Research > I am not sure about the idea of separating the academic part from the other > activities completely.
