On Foundations of Modular Organizing / FoMO

Abstract: Greg Cassel will be presenting on "Foundations of Modular Organizing"/ FoMO. FoMO is an introduction to flexible foundational concepts for modeling and mapping any describable concepts, phenomena, systems and entities. FoMO describes a set of irreducible root terms, or ontological primitives, which are flexibly useful for modeling and mapping all describable concepts and phenomena, with special emphasis on the design, development and governance of governable resources such as communications protocols, projects, networks, systems and databases. The ontological primitives are arranged into core categories for networking, systems, resources and media items. The media items category includes the massive subtype of governance resources. FoMO particularly seeks to disambiguate and understand what media items and channels essentially are and how we do or don't relate them to our personal thoughts, mutually-recognizable agreements, linked data and databases, including big data.

Greg is the founder and steward of Inclusive Organizing. He's currently a technical contractor for Commons Engine, SI3 and Collaborative Technology Alliance, specializing in ontology, linked data design, governance and community management.

The Metagovernance Seminar invites individuals working in online governance to present their work to a community of other researchers and practitioners. Topics of the seminar include, but are not limited to, computational tools for governance, governance incidents and case studies from online communities, topics in cryptoeconomics, and the design of digital constitutions.
