<p>MY BRAIN JUST EXPLODED</p>
<p>The following are the notes I took in Pierre Lévys keynote address, “The Collective Intelligence Ontology.” There is little to no commentary here, other than the suggestion that theres something off-puttingly and simultaneously comprehensive and reductive about the model as briefly sketched out. Heres hoping someone else (Liz? Jason?) posts a more analytical response to it — most of this is transcriptions/descriptions of slides, and a record of me gazing open-mouthed at them:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Cyberspace and the Future of Culture</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the knowledge society, cyberspace is becoming more and more: a memory repository, a communication medium, an enabler for transactions, a support for Collective Intelligence</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the future, an increasing part of cultural functions [in the broadest sense, the anthropological sense] will use cyberspace or will be represented in cyberspace</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Techno-economic and Cultural Trends</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the coming decades, bandwidth, storage capacity, computational power and general interconnection will increase at lower costs</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In any case, these basic technologic and economic trends will: transform our cultures (in which way?) [as human cultures were transformed by writing, by the printing press, etc.; transformation not simply in technology but in values]; aim at a global civilization (but which one?)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The Road to Collective Intelligence</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Our challenge: the expansion of cyberspaces cultural meaning</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>How can we face this challenge in a responsible way?</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>By inventing collectively a civilization oriented towards: intercultural dialogue; augmentation of our personal and collective cognitive functions (leading to human development)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>By increasing the amount of communities that will practice, study, and improve a tradition of Collective Intelligence</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The Collective Intelligence Ontology (CIO) is a scientific model to help us in this matter</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Ontologies</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A local ontology is a network of concepts mapping a semantic zone</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A universal ontology is a network of concepts mapping, or translating, local ontologies</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Universal ontologies are useful to deal collectively with common issues</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The Collective Intelligence Ontology is a universal ontology, structured like an open, hypertextual, fractal, peer to peer (P2P) network of concepts [CIO as wiki?]</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Human Development</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>One of the most important common issues is human development</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Some well-known measurable criteria of human development are (in alphabetical order): cultural heritages (transmission of); democracy; health and well-being of a population; human rights; economic prosperity; education; innovation; peace and security; scientific research (fecundity and social benefits of)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Semantic Web and Human Development</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Reminder: in the semantic web, the data will be addressed by their meaning and usage</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The CIO is the conceptual architecture of an observatory of human development in the semantic web</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Except for personal information, digital data can be coded and processed to represent, synthetically and analytically, ecosystemic dynamics of human cultures</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The understanding provided by a CI-oriented semantic web will help the development of human communities</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Universal Semantic Functions</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Many centuries of research on meaning teach us that meaning emerges from the association of three semantic functions</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The function <em>thing</em>: it produces the referent of the sign, what the sign designates (the res of the scholastics, C.S. Peirces object)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The function <em>sign</em>: it produces the signifier, a significant phenomenal image (the vox of the scholastics, the foundation of the sign for C.S. Peirce)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The function <em>being</em>: it joins a sign and a thing in a cognitive act (the signified of the linguistics, the conceptus of the scholastics, the interpreter of C.S. Peirce)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>[using such “semantic primitives” as the basis for a universal language, for mapping a semantic space; using the link as an operator]</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The Universal Link</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Recursive definition: a link is a semantic function connecting one link (the sender) to another link (the receiver) through a channel</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>9 Anthropologic Archetypes of the CIO</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>[series of ideograms] being &gt; thing = world; sign &gt; thing = time; thing &gt; thing = space; being &gt; sign = society; sign &gt; sign = thought; thing &gt; sign = truth; being &gt; being = feeling; sign &gt; being = message; thing &gt; being = body</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Iconic Version of the 9 Anthropological Archetypes</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>9 of the 81 combinations of the Anthropological Archetypes</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>9 Semiotic Operations Archetypes of the CIO</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>to make the world with signs, we name; to make time with signs, we mark; etc.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>9 Technical Functions Archetypes</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>to make the world with things, we need tools; to make time with things, we need containers; etc.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>9 Social Roles Archetypes</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>to make the world with being, we need judges; to make time with being we need scribes; to make space with being, we need guards; etc.</p>
<p>combinations of the above</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Skills Archetypes of the CIO</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>complex chart: rhetoric/dialectics/grammar; cultivation of semiotic realities/cultivation of human realities/cultivation of technical realities</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>combinations of the above</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>General structure of the CIO</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Real = signs (document networks), beings (people networks), things (physical networks); Virtual = knowledge (representations networks), will (intentions networks), power (skills networks) [all interconnected and interacting]</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>But also a Collective Intelligence Epistemology</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Formal Intelligence (semiotic operations; representations); Emotional Intelligence (social roles; intentions); Practical Intelligence (technical functions; know how)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>And a Collective Intelligence Pragmatics</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>messages (semiotic operations), people (social roles), equipments (technical functions); research traditions (representations), institutions (intentions), professions (know-how)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Collective Intelligence Semantic Web Flowchart</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>CIO 36 Classes of Links, first as matrix, and then mapped onto semantic web flowchart</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>General Principles Leading to a Strong CI</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The strength of the six matrixes depends on the structure and activities of their networks: connectivity, activation frequency of the links, stability and other factors</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Because of their interdependence, the strength of the six matrixes should be dynamically balanced</p>
</li>

<p>Conclusion: Toward a Collective Intelligence Consciousness</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Collective Intelligence Consciousness: The semantic web of tomorrow will mirror mankinds Collective Intelligence</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Questions: What about disparities of access to the network? What about ambiguity?</p>
