What Is Collaboration?
Wood and Gray say that each definition of collaboration used in the articles reviewed has at least one important element missing. They say that any definition must be able to answer the following: Who is doing what, with what means, toward what ends? "This leads us to create the following revised definition," they write:
Collaboration occurs when a group of autonomous stakeholders of a problem domain engage in an interactive process, using shared rules, norms, and structures, to act or decide on issues related to that domain.
Stakeholders may have shared or differing interests in a problem domain, and these interests may change over time. Some degree of autonomy is required, or else stakeholders "merge" rather than "collaborate." Rules for governing interactions must be implicitly or explicity agreed upon. Acting or deciding is needed to reach a common objective. The domain is the issue or set of issues that stakeholders are interested in, such as local traffic congestion or a nation's economic health.
Wood and Gray say that this definition is general enough to include a wide array of collaborative forms but specific enough to exclude others, such as blue ribbon panels that never meet, corporate mergers, and clubs that have no specific problem-solving objectives. The authors next discuss the other 3 issues confronting a comprehensive theory of collaboration.

What is Decentralization in Web3? - NES.TECH - 0 views

Decentralization is about spreading power, control, and decision-making across a network of participants instead of relying on one single central authority or intermediary. It involves removing or minimizing the role of middlemen, reducing censorship, enhancing transparency, and enabling peer-to-peer interactions. Traditionally, centralized systems are governed by a single authority or entity that controls and manages the system's operations. But decentralization transforms that, distributing power and authority across a whole network of participants, cutting out unnecessary intermediaries, and enabling greater autonomy and transparency. Now, let's take a look at a classic Web 2.0 example, those social media giants like Facebook and Twitter. In these platforms, users create and share content within a closed ecosystem controlled by a single entity. Sure, they've rocked the communication world and connected us all, but let's be real, they come with their fair share of problems.
