    AmiCog

    Welcome

    This wiki exists to discuss amicogs, and visitors are welcome to add comments in the #CommentsSection? of all pages, or on the CommentsPage?.

    Introduction

    In a future where information is over abundant rather than scarce, power does not lie in the hands of those who provide information. It lies in the hands of those who filter and recommend; those who control the software and algorithms used to mediate a user's search for trust. In such a future, ownership of recommendation data becomes a battleground between the distributed and the centralised.

    Definition

    An amicog is a specifc type of collaborative knowledge structure, formed by the interactions of a group of people. An amicog records who believes what, and how much whose judgement in which areas is respected by whom. These records are stored in a machine parsable format so that customised views of it may be presented to participants based on the participants own decisions.
