Elles se retrouvent autour d’un « logiciel social », permettant aux différentes personnes de se donner des rendez-vous, de discuter ou de collaborer sur un projet commun. Dans ces communautés, nous pouvons voir différentes sortes de relations : One to one, correspondant à une communication mail, ou par messagerie instantanée ; One to many, correspondant à une communication via pages web ou blogs ; Many to many, correspondant à une communication via des forums ou des wikis. Grâce aux différents sites communautaires, des sources d’informations précieuses riches d’informations sont disponibles. C’est ici qu’intervient SIOC (Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities). De plus, afin de mieux structurer les données, un vocabulaire spécifique a été mis en place.

Community : c’est le concept de plus haut niveau, qui permet de regrouper d’autres objets ; Nordstrom Innovation Lab. THE ADJACENT POSSIBLE. (STUART KAUFFMAN): In his famous book, What is Life?

THE ADJACENT POSSIBLE

, Erwin Schrödinger asks, "What is the source of the order in biology? " He arrives at the idea that it depends upon quantum mechanics and a microcode carried in some sort of aperiodic crystal—which turned out to be DNA and RNA—so he is brilliantly right. But if you ask if he got to the essence of what makes something alive, it's clear that he didn't. Although today we know bits and pieces about the machinery of cells, we don't know what makes them living things. However, it is possible that I've stumbled upon a definition of what it means for something to be alive. For the better part of a year and a half, I've been keeping a notebook about what I call autonomous agents. As I thought about this, I noted that the bacterium is just a physical system; it's just a bunch of molecules that hang together and do things to one another. Definitions are neither true nor false; they're useful or useless.

Let's turn to the biosphere. What’s 20 percent of your time worth? Photo via floridahistory.org At this point, Google’s “20 percent time” system is pretty well known and actually pretty old in internet time.

What’s 20 percent of your time worth?

In the words of a Google engineer in 2006: The 20 percent time is a well-known part of our philosophy [at Google], enabling engineers to spend one day a week working on projects that aren’t necessarily in our job descriptions. You can use the time to develop something new, or if you see something that’s broken, you can use the time to fix it. It’s also been hotly debated on various blogs and web forums the last few years. Creation through recombination. In one sense, there are no new inventions.

Creation through recombination

All technological creations are simply combinations of existing physical elements. What makes something new and remarkable isn’t its pieces; it’s how they fit together. The Origins of Good Ideas. Empowered. By Josh Bernoff Yeah, right.

Empowered

Innovate like Apple. You can do it. Sure. Keep Up With The Pace Of Change By Innovating The Adjacent Possible. We live in a world punctuated by big innovations.

Keep Up With The Pace Of Change By Innovating The Adjacent Possible

From fire and the wheel down to the light bulb and the iPad, we mark the march of history by the steady beat of transformative innovations. Except that steady beat is no longer so steady. The rate at which these life-altering innovations are coming to market is accelerating so quickly that it's no longer sufficient to invoke even Moore's Law to explain them. Not only are new things being introduced more swiftly than before but consumers are adopting them more rapidly than before. I make my living studying early adopters, but recently I've had to throw many hard-earned lessons out the window. This is both exciting and maddening. Our approach is called "innovating the adjacent possible" and it's fast, messy, and for long-timers it will be counterintuitive. Under the heading of “put up or shut up,” we can’t propose an approach for generating the next big product if we’re not willing to prove that it works.
