One of the “next steps” of the W3C Social Business Jam report is defining key terminology such as Social Platform.
The outcome of the group is to create use cases under Social domains (user stories focused on using social technologies to achieve a predefined outcome).
If the use cases are somehow linked, despite agnostic, of technology used to socialized, it’s important before move forward to achieve to a definition of what is a Social Platform.
Definitions matter to everyone. If the group cannot agree what a Social Platform is all about, how it’s possible to progress on the use case backing?
This definition can:
- Be imported from other community is it is already available;
- Be imported and adapted to the community needs;
- Be architected from the scratch by the group members.
The idea is starting brainstorming around the concept. Ideas should be put here in order to aggregate all the content and to prevent e-mail clutter.
As soon we have a backbone it can be transformed to a document.
Add your ideas and participate.
