I recommend you checkout Pierre Levy's 'networks of collective intelligence'
approach, which integrates 6 main components of collective intelligence.

See http://pierrelevy.postero**us.com/...<http://pierrelevy.posterous.com/the-networks-of-collective-intelligence>

I have collated various materials on the topic at http://p2pfoundation.net/*
*Categor... <http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:Intelligence> and
http://delicious.com/mbau**wens/Co...<http://delicious.com/mbauwens/Collective-Intelligence>

Here are three more interpretative schemes:

Dave Snowden has proposed the Cynefin framework for identifying the
best match between knowledge styles and reality:

"It has five domains, characterised by the relationship between
cause and effect. The first four domains are:


   - *Simple*, in which *the relationship between cause and
   effect is obvious to all*, the approach is to *Sense - Categorise -
   Respond* and we can apply best practice.


   - *Complicated*, in which *the relationship between cause
   and effect requires analysis* or some other form of investigation
   and/or the application of expert knowledge, the approach is to *Sense -
   Analyze - Respond* and we can apply good practice.


   - *Complex*, in which *the relationship between cause and
   effect can only be perceived in retrospect, but not in advance*, the
   approach is to *Probe - Sense - Respond* and we can sense emergent
   practice.


   - *Chaotic*, in which there is *no relationship between
   cause and effect at systems level*, the approach is to *Act - Sense
   - Respond* and we can discover novel practice.


The fifth domain is *Disorder*, which is *the state of not
knowing what type of causality exists*, in which state people will
revert to the comfort zone in making a decision."

Cynefin Framework



*2.*

Framework from George Dyson in Darwin
Among The Machines, summarized by Kevin Kelly [4]:


   - *One species, many minds*: The official future. We
   interbreed among our genetic improvements and keep our individuality
   distinct, and our species identity intact.


   - *One species, one mind*: Through electronic mediation, we
   join together to create a superorganism. A suprahuman.


   - *Many species, many minds*: Ultimate diversity. Humans
   fork in their evolution to create new breeds. Some may even join
   machines in cyborgian partnerships.


   - *Many species, one mind*: We fork in biology but unite in
   the noosphere. Millions of species share the same mind.




*3.*

Henry Jenkins:

"We can argue that there are a range of different models of
collective intelligence shaping the digital realm at the present time.
We might distinguish broadly between three different models:



1) *An aggregative model which assumes that we can collect data
based on the autonomous and anonymous decisions of “the crowd”* and
use it to gain insights into their collective behavior. This is the
model which shapes Digg and to some degree, YouTube.



2) a curatorial model where grassroots intermediaries seek to
represent their various constituencies and bring together information
that they think is valuable. This is the model which shapes the
blogosphere.



3) *a deliberative model where many different voices come
together, define problems, vet information, and find solutions which
would be impossible for any individual to achieve*. This is the model
shaping Wikipedia or even more powerfully alternate universe games. Of
the three, the deliberative model offers the most democratic potentials,
especially when it is tempered by ethical and political commitments to
diversity. This is the model which Pierre Levy describes in his book,
Collective Intelligence. Levy’s account stresses the affirmative value
placed on diversity in such a culture. The more diverse the community,
the broader range of possible information and insights can inform the
deliberative process."
