some projects lean in using such linked data approaches.
one I have been more involved with ( at the level of ideation ) called
itself netention.
code by Seth ( needs more developers, cleaning code and bugs, and UX people
to make interface easier to use - with more specific applications that can
plug into it ? ) :

The github page includes explanations for installation, and general
presentation of the approach.

There have been several customized instances of Netention, working on a
Linode Server.
For example, one more focused on learning , another on the commons, and yet
another on mapping pollution , ...
They have recently been put off - except this one which has been put up
again ( take it as a prototype , needs much more work on it - and needs
more developers , including interface designers, and users testing it ) :

///
other projects in development with similar approaches ( and the case of
metamaps development, potentially inspired by shared conversations over the
last years )
http://metamaps.cc ( latest instance / prototype with semantic technology
potentials not yet available publicly ? )
http://noomap.com
and likely more ( Pavlik and others - see OuiShare Labs on fb - also
interested in using Linked Data - and hopefully soon we can adapt it also
in Sharing Economy contexts , or even Hospitality Networks , ... )

>>
>> *We Recommend*
>>
>> An educational paradigm that provides a template for living in harmony
>> with nature and one another. An Educational framework that aims toward
>> Universal Peace and Happiness as inspired by the Kingdom of Bhutan's GNH
>> principles of:
>>
>> - Good Governance
>>
>>
>> - Sustainable Economic Development within Planetary Boundaries
>>
>>
>> - Cultural Promotion that includes informal education and indigenous
>> wisdom
>>
>>
>> - Earth Conservation
>>
>> and implementation within a Culture of Peace that creates an educational
>> environment that builds capacity in each child to express their own ideas
>> to create a better world and take action to build it in four basic stages:
>> Feel, Imagine, Do and Share*:
>>
>> *Feel* connection to their inner environment and their outer environment
>> learning effective modes of creating harmony within and without through
>> self-responsibility and extending the opportunities for others to do the
>> same; reciprocity; and taking right action to identify root problems and
>> resolve disharmony, create solutions, etc.
>> *Imagine *by letting ideas flow unencumbered in words and images; and

>> *Do* by listening to interested stakeholders, gathering facts and data
>> related to form, function/usability at both the dimensional and relational
>> levels, evaluation, presentation of data, decision-making, planning,
>> implementation, etc.
>> *Share *through putting together a narrative; reflect and share real
>> impacts as ambassadors, ombudspersons and engaged earth peoples
>>
>> *Best Practices for Getting to the Root of the Transformation Needed*
>>
>>
>> - *Learning based on Bio-region*: Integration of conservation and
>> regenerative design into the curriculum that integrates learning and
>> activities of the school to the status of the Bio-Region and local
>> community they are located. To experience how the natural world specific to
>> their Bio-Region supports every aspect of their lives, explore how nature
>> solves problems and through relationship shapes identity, wellness, and
>> sense of place. Identify and assume responsibilities as a Living Person
>> within ones Bio-Region and the real impacts of ones actions within that
>> Bio-Region.
>>
>>
>> - *Learning Embedded in Real Life*. Human life is intimately and
>> inextricably linked to our environment. We begin linking to our external
>> world for our sustenance while in the womb. We are born into a rich
>> inheritance – human life sustained by a living planet. Human life does not
>> proceed in isolation and learning is not done in isolation. The basic
>> sustenance that the Earth provides is a common inheritance to all life
>> expressing here. To navigate life harmoniously, learning aimed at provoking
>> a full on inquiry and engagement with all aspects of planetary life is
>> responsible learning. Using authentic materials and experiences brings the
>> real world into the classroom and learning into the real world. Students
>> are able to apply a range of skills and content knowledge across domains.
>> Authentic experiences establish relevance to what is being learned in the
>> classroom, allowing learning to be connected to a sense of the inner and
>> outer dynamic of the natural world and dimensional and relational aspects
>> of life across all stratas of human existence, rather than superficial.
>> Learning is superficial when information is memorized and regurgitated to
>> pass a test. Learning is internalized when the student experiences and
>> applies the concepts of skills in a real life situation. They become more
>> motivated when they see the practical application of skills and concepts.
>> Age appropriate Apprenticeships, Internships into Specialized centers of
>> interest, Mastery Sojourn to deeply integrate and study what is of direct
>> interest, Artist or Subject Matter Experts in Residence who can aid
>> students in translating theirexperiential learning into areas of excellence
>> and novelty.
>>
>>
>> - *School Infrastructure for Peace*: we recognize that peace as a
>> commons is necessary to implement the historic change needed in our
>> world. The vehicle for peace embedded in the infrastructure of school life
>> places a focus on creating an environment of PEACE and the instrumental
>> agreements for fostering peace within their school community. Students
>> become Peace Ambassadors and Happiness Heros/Heroines with an appreciation
>> for the quality of school life when peace is a value. They discover and
>> acquire the skillful means to respectfully engage in deeply meaningful
>> conversations of vital importance. They learn to appreciate the time and
>> effort required to attain peace and how quickly conflicts can be resolved
>> when there is a culture of peace present. They learn to discern their
>> responsibilities in the real work of keeping the peace through active
>> engagement in school life. *Example:* Children in Bhutan created a
>> set of agreements called No Hurtful Name Calling.
>>
>>
>> - *Transparent Agenda Setting and Safety*; Learning is intrinsically
>> linked to emotions. Establishing a safe environment is most essential for
>> learning. A safe environment is created through respectful relationships in
>> school and clarity of assigned tasks. Agenda setting and closing the loop
>> are routines that enable students to know and understand what is
>> expected of them and how far they have achieved it.
>>
>>
>> - *High Quality Adult Learning* (Teacher Education) Student learning
>> in a school is enabled by parent partnerships and high quality adult
>> learning. Since teachers design and facilitate the learning experiences for
>> children, they need to be master craftsmen in the art of experiential
>> learning and instructional design. This requires continuous
>> professional development to keep abreast of the current research in
>> education as well as content knowledge and inner development of peace and
>> wellbeing.
>>
>>
>> - *Quality Class Time (QTC):* A set time at the start of the school
>> day for interpersonal development that creates the safety and security to
>> clear obstacles to learning and good relations. This is a time for each one
>> to share feelings, opinions, and ideas. The teacher facilitates the
>> interaction so that each thought is respected and valued. The atmosphere
>> that is created is one of trust and closeness amongst the group. This
>> creates a safe environment, ultimately leading to student well-being.
>>
>>
>> - *Quality School Time (QST):* A set time weekly where the whole
>> school assembles to appreciate and celebrate shared experiences and
>> individual triumphs, talk about issues of concern, present assembly
>> presentations/performances with a view of sharing children's learning with
>> the whole school community. The main ethos building platform for a school
>> is the assembly. The audience is an active one, learning how to give
>> constructive feedback, to raise questions and doubts and to seek
>> clarification. Through the performances, children learn that when you
>> teach, you learn twice!
>>
>>
>> - *Responsibility for ones Inner State/Environment: *Twice daily, 60
>> second pause or more; school wide to relax in silence, to cultivate
>> noticing ones inner state of being and taking responsibility for ones inner
>> state. The daily activity builds coherency and entrains one toward an inner
>> happiness that creates an environment for peace and wellness, good
>> relations and enhanced learning performance.
>>
>>
>> - *Responsibility of Outer Environment:* to recognize the benefits of
>> a pristine natural environment to health and well-being of self and
>> others. Schools Adopt a river, park, strip of highway, etc. within the
>> schools Bio-region to establish an intimate link and bond with nature; give
>> care and attention to the region; experiment with learning from nature.
>>
>>
>> - *Leadership in Action*: Citizen engagement and active care for the
>> commons or commoning, student leader elections provide lessons in the four
>> principles of GNH and the development of infrastructures for peace within
>> the microcosm of the school community. Lessons in good governance,
>> leadership, student responsibilities to self, others within the classroom,
>> the school community and local community.
>>
>>
>> - *Linking Students Locally and Globally:* Youth Ambassador programs
>> to understand the differing bio-regions and socio-economic conditions of
>> others, build relationships, share and reflect best practices in
>> addressing real life challenges beyond their school and local community.
>> Exchange programs that build capacity using real-life community
>> problem-solving locally related to higher level global problemsolving.
>> Simulation models like Model United Nations, actively engages and teaches
>> students the necessary development for true leadership that moves students
>> from self to world and vice versa. Students are able to experience
>> different cultures, ideas, and thoughts. Through interactions and
>> dialogues, students expand their vision of how connected they are and ably
>> reflect and learn how to celebrate differences. Sharing their own
>> experiences and learning from others keeps ideas alive and helps them to
>> grow. This helps students reduce the fear of the unknown and allow them to
>> be more competent actors in world that must cohere and collaborate toward
>> peace that allows for an equitable caring and sharing of the planetary
>> commons.
>>
>>
>> - *Link with community:* Share ideas with community, discerned the
>> shared values and vision of the community, seek support, listen to ideas of
>> all who have an interest, celebrate; present in public meetings and present
>> to media
>>
>>
>> - *Bias toward Experiential Learning:* Learning grounded in the
>> practical dimensions of earth living that brings all the senses and
>> multiple intelligences into the learning process to stimulate and support
>> the unique learning styles of each child allowing them to develop their
>> unique talents and gifts of being, doing, giving and receiving responsibly
>> in their world.
>>
>>
>> - *Parent Partnership* The goals, values and processes of a school
>> must be overtly communicated consistently to parents. The Parent
>> Partnership is the various means through which knowledge of the child is
>> shared and partners learn from each other. It strengthens the relationship
>> and understanding between all the stakeholders and increases accountability
>> for the school. When the parent is an active participant in the student’s
>> learning, it creates a sense of overall ownership, pride and wellbeing.
>>
>>
>> - *Student Led Conference* The most effective way to augment a
>> learning process is to take ownership – because only ownership brings about
>> the highest degree of motivation. Student Led Conferences are a powerful
>> means to achieve this. Students are put in charge and asked to assume the
>> responsibility of assessing their own learning and reporting on it.
>> Students present their work to their parents, individually, in a formal
>> setting in school. This one-on-one time with parents gives students the
>> opportunity to explain their learning journey highlighting what is
>> meaningful and important to them. This is a paradigm shift from the usual
>> parent teacher conferences in which a student is very often not present.
>> Even if students are present, they are often silent recipients of
>> evaluation from the teacher. In Student Led Conferences, the student is in
>> charge of the meeting and parents get a more comprehensive picture of their
>> child’s time at school.
>>
>>
>> *Indicators of Real Impact when Earth is the Primary Metric, students:*
>>
>>
>> - know the status of the environment within their bio-region and
>> understand how their bio-region is nested within the biosphere of the
>> earth
>>
>>
>> - see that the nested sytems and interrelatedness of nature is
>> mirrored in every domain of their lives
>>
>>
>> - feel a shared responsibility toward care and conservation of the
>> environment and its elements through care for self and care for others
>>
>>
>> - find care for the commons as natural and obvious
>>
>>
>> - know the power of their emotions on others in their environment
>>
>>
>> - discover the responsibilities of being an earth citizen
>>
>>
>> - seek out Pristine natural areas

>>
>>
>> - help others to get their needs met through sharing what they have

>>
>>
>> *Note*: There is a need for migration of these best practices into the

>> The Commons Cluster Major Group submits this SDG on Educating for the
>> Commons in alignment with all prior agreements and cite in particular the
>> Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Happiness as a Greater Role in
>> Development 65/309, International Day of Happiness 66/281, Declaration on a

>>
>> george

>> What if we grew some kind of strategic alliance between PSOL and

>> Expedition to discover and develop advanced tools and processes for
>> large-scale, collaborative meaning-making in virtual workplace communities?
>> Following my passion for helping communities of learners become

>> frequently miss in both mission-oriented and discipline-oriented online
>> communities is truly powerful "harvesting" tools, containers, and processes
>> that people can use for collaborative meaning making when there's a large
>> volume of shared information and knowledge.
>> The course will be a learning expedition using my "reversed e-lecture"
>> model. A learning expedition has four kinds of outcome:
>> • Individual learning, defined as individual capability development
>> • Team learning, defined as team capability development
>> • Research: advancing the field of study
>> • Development: co-producing a knowledge product
>> (Source: Larry Victor)
>> The developmental outcome of the learning expedition could be, for
>> example, a knowledge ecosystem that the current and next generation of
>> students can contribute to and draw on.
>> A knowledge ecosystem is a key enabler of the move from a community of
>> learners to a community that learns. Our "expedition" will lay the
>> foundation for the knowledge ecosystem, and will cover the following four
>> phases.
>> 1. Instructor "seeds" the knowledge ecosystem with initial content;
>> Students develop their own e-lectures.
>>
>> Unlike a conventional e-lecture posted by the instructor, this "reversed
>> e-lecture" will be comprised of: (a) a large set of quotes from a wide
>> variety of sources, pertinent to the territories and goals of the
>> expedition, and (b) invitations to the students to discover and identify
>> web-like patterns of meaningful connections in the seed content.
>>
>> 2. Students post their lectures.
>>
>> Students share their discoveries by: (a) posting their e-lectures which
>> contain hyper-trails and webs of quotes, that they built in the knowledge
>> ecosystem, mixed with their annotations and commentaries, and (b) engaging
>> in conversation about them.
>>
>> 3. Instructor provides a menu of focusing questions; Students choose
>> and organize themselves for collaborative inquiry.
>>
>> The focusing questions will be provided from the perspective of
>> evolutionary social science and "emergence" frameworks. They will be
>> oriented towards 'real world' applications of the students' findings. The
>> instructor will make available, through the expedition's web pages, a

>> collaborative meaning-making.
>>
>> 4. Students gather around an electronic campfire of the virtual base
>> camp to share the "bounty."
>>

>> Citation 1: The Open Education movement is gaining momentum
>> "*The field of open education is gaining momentum around the world.
>> Literally hundreds of open education projects are springing up from Tokyo
>> to Boston to Paris to Beijing. Over 2000 courses are now available through
>> OpenCourseWare projects alone. Add to this the growing number of open
>> access learning object repositories, increases in the number and
>> quality ofopen source educational software projects, the open education
>> work agencies like UNESCO and the OECD are doing, and the field is
>> diversifying as quickly as it is growing.*." (

>> Citation 2: Schools need to open up to peer-based learning models
>> "When you look at children's learning outside school, it is driven by
>> what they are interested in, which is the direct opposite of school-based
>> learning. For example, inthe United States a group of students were
>> interested in Manga, the Japanese animated cartoons. In order to get
>> hold of them before they were due to arrive on themarket, this group got
>> together, taught themselves Japanese, subtitling and web streaming, because
>> they were motivated to.
>>
>> What is the relationship with this idea that education is handing down a
>> general baseof knowledge? I think that is one of the tensions.
>>
>> When you look at learning in the home you see knowledge-building
>> communities. Children can act as teachers, they are allowed to adopt
>> different identities and they are not just learners. They have control over
>> the time of their learning and how long it will take. The school system
>> needs to know a lot more about what is happening outside school in terms
>> of children's passions, interests and abilities than it does at the
>> moment.
>>
>> *We need a shift towards an education system that is about listening to
>> what thelearners are bringing into the school situation, as well as
>> thinking about an education system that is pushing things out*." (

>> Citation 3: the Learning 2.0 approach
>> "The traditional approach to e-learning has been to employ the use of a
>> Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), software that is often cumbersome and
>> expensive - and which tends to be structured around courses, timetables,
>> and testing. That is an approach that is too often driven by the needs of
>> the institution rather than theindividual learner. In contrast,
>> e-learning 2.0 (as coined by Stephen Downes) takes a 'small pieces,
>> loosely joined' approach that combines the use of discrete but
>> complementary tools and web services - such as blogs, wikis, and other
>> social software - to support the creation of ad-hoc learning
>> communities." (http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/e-learning_20.php <http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/e-learning_20.php>

>> Citation 4: Education is diverging from schooling
>> "Education, the means by which young people learn the skills necessary
>> to succeed in their place and time, is diverging from schooling.
>> Media-literacy-wise, education is happening now after school and on
>> weekends and when the teacher isn't looking, in the SMS messages,
>> MySpace pages, blog posts, podcasts, videoblogs that technology-equipped
>> digital natives exchange among themselves.
>> This population is both self-guided and in need of guidance, and
>> although a willingness to learn new media by point-and-click exploration
>> might come naturally to today's student cohort, there's nothing innate
>> about knowing how to apply their skills tothe processes of democracy." (

>> Citation 5: Theresa Williamson on The power ofpeer teaching
>> *"Everybody knows the proverb about how it's better to teach a man to
>> fish than just to give him a fish, but there's a step beyond that: it's
>> better that a man's neighbor is the one teaching him to fish, his peer. If
>> some expert swoops in from afar you miss half the value of the interaction
>> because of the inequality in that relationship. But if it's his peer
>> teaching him? Then the man is much more likely to offer something in
>> return. You are much more likely to create a real sustainable relationship
>> rather than just a new dependency*."

>> From http://www.kmcluster.com/ (newsletter, 2004)
>>
>> *"The silent killers of effective knowledge leadership are the pervasive
>> 20th-century traditions of linear, mechanical and reductionist thinking
>> paired with their obsolete managerial behaviours of control, dominance
>> and technocracy.*
>> Top knowledge leaders routinely 'suspend their disbelief' to unlearn
>> their harmful industrial-era habits and models. They learn from the emerging
>> future through authentic conversation. 21st-century knowledge leaders
>> actively pursue external interactions and continuously use genuine
>> action/research networks to their strategic and collaborative advantage."

>> Citation 7: From learning "just in case" to "learning on demand"
>> Paul D. Fernhout:
>> "Ultimately, educational technology's greatest value is in supporting
>> "learning on demand" based on interest or need which is at the opposite
>> end of the spectrum compared to "learning just in case" based on someone
>> else's demand. Compulsory schools don't usually traffic in "learning on
>> demand", for the most part leaving that kind of activity to libraries or
>> museums or the home or business or the "real world". In order for
>> compulsory schools to make use of the best of educational technology and
>> what is has to offer, schools themselves must change." (
