[Ci4cg-announce] Towards a Public Communication and Information Infrastructure Part II

Thu May 12 04:00:26 PDT 2016

Hello Justin,

"a mind-map of sorts based upon websites, facebook posts, tweets, etc. 
It generates a "framing" of issues in social media."

We are doing it "manually" on a PBWorks wiki platform by building 
structured knowledge networks where topics are connected "vertically" in 
a taxonomy and "horizontally" in the network by following personal 
associations, like in mind. Currently, the LikeInMind knowledge network 
has 30,000+ nodes. Each of those nodes/Topics can be found or discovered 
within 20-30 seconds and contains data, images, notes, points of view 
and opinions of different participants on the same topic presented 
literally "on the same page" for visibility and findability:

Unfortunately, the link on your website, below, was not working tonight. 
I would be grateful for learning more on your approach of organising 
information, how the ""framing" of issues in social media" looks like.

With kind regards,
Dmitry Sokolov
