The project’s objectives are:
- Development of a software platform
- Understand, experiment with, design and build a collective intelligence techno-social federated collaborative platform that will foster the sustainability of communities of collaborative production.
- Deploy several customised nodes of the federated platform in which real-world communities will interact, participate, and collaboratively create content
- Theory and Policy
- Develop CBPP theory, based on multidisciplinary and multi-method research on CBPP, and determine the factors for success, productivity, and resilience in communities (“best practices”).
- Develop a set of value metrics and reward mechanisms that incentivise the participation of citizens in CBPP.
- Simulate the new sustainability models proposed, showing how robust they are in the face of diverse community conditions.
- Verify the compatibility of the proposed models with innovation policies and provide a series of policy recommendations for public administrations to encourage CBPP-driven social innovation.
- Data and Resources
- Provide a directory of existing CBPP communities, together with their main characteristics.
- Maintain an open web-based CBPP archive, with the collected data-sets, surveys, reports, Open Educational Resources and open-access publications, freely available to other researchers and third-parties under an open copyleft license (unless excluded by our IPR statement in section 3.2.4). This includes a project public repository with all code available as free/open source.
