PEERS ONLINE INTERACTION FRAMEWORK

Context is usually removed when you remove the human element, whether that is by archiving best practices to a "database," or by asking experts to "tell me what you know" about a given topic, or assuming knowledge is a fixed thing as opposed to an interconnected flow of many things.

The Web 2.0 aspect gives you the ability to pull together knowledge from many different sources, independent of how it was generated.  The implication of this for businesses is that they should focus on their business processes and making sure they have access to that knowledge (i.e. the people).

Open up the business to any applications that provide these knowledge flows; ban email attachments (forcing people to use blogs / wikis / etc); and lock down truly proprietary data. 

Wat kan aangevraagd worden Aanvragen kunnen worden ingediend voor Projecten voor onderzoek naar ethische en maatschappelijke aspecten van concrete technologische ontwikkelingen Projecten voor onderzoek naar ethische en maatschappelijke achtergrondvragen Projectsubsidies kunnen zowel voor langlopend als voor kortlopend onderzoek worden aangevraagd.

Het indienen van een vooraanmelding is verplicht.

Ethische en maatschappelijke verkenning van wetenschap en technologie’ (MVI) is een van de dertien thema’s van NWO.

Het themaprogramma MVI heeft betrekking op vraagstukken rond technologische ontwikkelingen waarvan met goede reden is te vermoeden dat zij ingrijpende (zowel positieve als negatieve) effecten zullen hebben op individu en/of samenleving. Dit betreft enerzijds ontwikkelingen rond nieuwe technologieën (zoals ICT, nanotechnologie, biotechnologie en neurowetenschappen) en anderzijds technologische systemen in transitie (zoals landbouw en gezondheidszorg).

Hierbij wordt ook aandacht gevraagd voor het internationale perspectief. Het gaat nadrukkelijk niet alleen om Nederlandse innovatietrajecten, maar ook om innovatietrajecten in andere landen of delen van de wereld, vooral ook in ontwikkelingslanden. Intensieve samenwerking tussen alfa-, bèta/technische en gamma-onderzoekers is een belangrijk uitgangspunt in het programma. De valorisatie van het onderzoek krijgt grote aandacht.

-- Improved Community Insight -- Awareness administrators now have increased self-service capability to report and graph participation and success metrics in their communities, including user activity, content activity and more.

offering great new social networking capabilities, advanced reporting and community management that will really help encourage robust community participation

"Over the last year, the Enterprise 2.0 space has gathered significant momentum. We've been working with leading companies to realize the business potential of social media and the benefits of using Web 2.0 communities to stimulate conversations between employees, customers and partners around their brands," said John Bruce, CEO of Awareness. "Our Awareness Summer 2008 release builds on this and lets customers offer their community members a wider variety of engagement points across the Web and a user experience that really encourages participation."

In social theory the concept of self-referentiality has been introduced as a sociological application of self-organization theory by Niklas Luhmann (1984). For Luhmann the elements of a social system are self-producing communications, i.e. a communication produces further communications and hence a social system can reproduce itself as long as there is dynamic communication. For Luhmann human beings are sensors in the environment of the system. Luhmann put forward a functional theory of society. Self-organization in human and computer networks can give rise to a decentralized, distributed, self-healing system, protecting the security of the actors in the network by limiting the scope of knowledge of the entire system held by each individual actor.

Most modern economists hold that imposing central planning usually makes the self-organized economic system less efficient.

Transaction cost economics suggests that the costs and difficulties associated with market transactions sometimes favor hierarchies (or in-house production) and sometimes markets as an economic governance structure. An intermediate mechanism, called hybrid or relational, between these two extremes has recently emerged as a new governance structure .

“Forrester Research estimates enterprise spending on web 2.0 technologies to surge over the next five years, reaching $764 million (about Rs 3,200 crore) in 2008 and growing at 43 per cent annually to reach $4.6 billion (about Rs 19,500 crore) in 2013”

The Enterprise 2.0 Conference is the largest and most important gathering for the people ready to reinvent the way work is done.

In his report, Band says that rapid adoption of Web 2.0 technologies is not just a critical factor, but a generational one as well, noting that "22 percent of adults now read blogs at least monthly, and 19 percent are members of a social networking site like Facebook or LinkedIn. Even more amazingly, almost one-third of all youth publish a blog at least weekly, and 41 percent of youth visit a social networking site daily."Band also suggests that the true 2.0 shift has been about control and power. "'Web 2.0' began as a user-focused revolution," he writes, "remaking the consumer Web into a landscape that is easy to use, efficient to navigate, populated by self-generated content (versus institutional publications) and driven by ad hoc and established communities of people with similar interests. In a Web 2.0 world, power moves from institutions to consumers because they can now rapidly connect and digitally converse among themselves about the products and services they buy."
