Abstract

Substantial EU resources are being invested in research and practice emerging from the socio-technical convergence of networked technologies and social clusters, increasingly referred to as 'collective awareness' and 'social sensing' platforms. Novel concepts and tools are being developed to stimulate and promote technologies and environments, requiring some level of shared conceptualisation of the domain. This position paper identifies the need to capture and represent the knowledge and information in 'social sensing and collective awareness platforms' with minimal formalisms. It proposes steps toward the development of tools for collective development of shared conceptual models, to facilitate communication, knowledge sharing and collaboration in this emerging, and highly interdisciplinary research field.
