http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Semantic_Web

The *social-semantic web* (s2w) aims to complement the formal Semantic Web
vision by adding a pragmatic approach relying on description
languages<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specification_language>
 for semantic browsing using
heuristic<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic_%28computer_science%29>
 classification and semiotic
ontologies<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontology_%28computer_science%29>.
A socio-semantic system has a continuous process of eliciting crucial
knowledge of a domain through semi-formal ontologies,
taxonomies<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomies>
 or folksonomies <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomies>.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic_Map

The semantic expressivity <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expressive_power> of
Topic Maps is, in many ways, equivalent to that of
RDF<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework>,
but the major differences are that Topic Maps (i) provide a higher
level of semantic
abstraction <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_data_model> (providing a
template of topics, associations and occurrences, while RDF only provides a
template of two arguments linked by one relationship) and (hence) (ii) allow
 n-ary <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-ary#n-ary> relationships
(hypergraphs<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergraph>)
between any number of nodes, while RDF is limited to
triplets<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuple>
.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Supported_Cooperative_Work

Over the years, CSCW researchers have identified a number of core dimensions
of cooperative work. A non-exhaustive list includes:

   - *Awareness*: individuals working together need to be able to gain some
   level of shared knowledge about each other's
activities.[5]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Supported_Cooperative_Work#cite_note-dourish92-4>
   - *Articulation work*: cooperating individuals must somehow be able to
   partition work into units, divide it amongst themselves and, after the work
   is performed, reintegrate
it.[6]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Supported_Cooperative_Work#cite_note-schmidt92-5>
   [7]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Supported_Cooperative_Work#cite_note-strauss85-6>
   - *Appropriation* (or tailorability): how an individual or group adapts a
   technology to their own particular situation; the technology may be
   appropriated in a manner completely unintended by the
designers.[8]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Supported_Cooperative_Work#cite_note-mackay90-7>
   [9]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Supported_Cooperative_Work#cite_note-dourish03-8>
   [10]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Supported_Cooperative_Work#cite_note-schmidt91-9>


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigmergy

*Stigmergy* is a mechanism of indirect
coordination<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination> between
agents or actions. The principle is that the trace left in the
environment<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_environment> by
an action stimulates the performance of a next action, by the same or a
different agent.
