The next generation social networks -3-

Add comment December 3rd, 2006 Robert Bosman

Trust is the cement of society.
And trust levels are based on experience and data…

Let’s talk a little more about the main characteristics of the next web, using an addition to the graphic used in the previous two blog posts.

The characteristics more in detail:

Universal Relation Model : The next web will be based on Universal Relation Management®, enabling all participants to create, see, edit and terminate that data for which they are directly responsible. That Data Tango can not be performed without a proper definition of mutual relations. A CEO of a company, for example, only has the rights to act on behalf of that company as long as he has a non terminated relation with that company as a CEO. That relation has implications both for the individual as well as for the organization involved; it is the relationship that defines the rights of an individual in a certain context. Therefor, without a Universal Relation Model we can never organize a proper exchange of data for the entire interconnected web.

P, O and G use 1 standard : In the next web People, Organizations as well as Governments will generate, share and validate interconnected data of all kinds, together establishing the ‘Data Tango’. It is impossible to do so properly and efficiently, without sharing the same URM standard. Positively formulated: sharing the same URM standard will boost the co-creative society and will enable all kinds of data validation services, that together will increase the Trust Levels in society and decrease the tremendous opportunities for criminals and terrorists, caused by the weak data reliability today.

Multi-role : The next web will provide a URM-based infrastructure for people acting in different roles. In the example above, the CEO - role is a specific relationship between a person and an organization. But that person will have more than one role, at least personally but also in other organizations and in society as such.

Multi-dimension : The individual with, among others the CEO, will look at his Agenda, his Todo’s, his Network, his Roles, his Web-accounts etc, from a different view than the organizations (and governments) he has relations with. Depending on who is looking, they see a different set of the same data and have different rights and obligations to update these data. The next web will facilitate that.

Full data aggregation : In the next web it will be easy to see and maintain for each dimension the total aggregation of all relevant data. A person for example, will no longer see only the personal network he has in a specific social network site, he will see his full, aggregated personal network of all social networks and organizations he is connected to, including his personal network. In the same way he will see his aggregated agenda, aggregated todo’s etc. Finally Ray Ozzie’s problem will be solved…

Service Oriented : In the next web there will be much and much more webservices than we even can think about now. Also the kind of webservices will be beyond any imagination.

Co-creative : The next web will be about the communication, organization and administration interface of Society 4.0, the creative society we will shape together. The old roles of employer and employee will transcend in a new economic order, in which the collective intelligence and the collective creativity can grow as never before.

Validated Trust Levels : Trust is the cement of society. The URM based next web will enable us to easily validate all kinds of data by innovative webservices (in the graph showed as the yellow V). This will help to increase the Trust Level of our society and to diminish all kinds of misuse. Be well, misuse will be of all times, but the poor data organization of our times help so many criminals and terrorists, that trust goes down and anger and anxiety are growing. That has to be changed.
