Findings and contributions
- Jack Park describes his vision of a federation of servers acting as digital public libraries indexing knowledge artifacts created in epistemic communities he calls K-Hubs.
- Marc-Antoine Parent proposes nested, recursive frames as the unit of knowledge to bridge informal stories and formal data for federation.
- Parent proposes 'forking meaning': concepts found ambiguous get a distinguishing question and branches, producing an update cascade to reduce ambiguity in the federation.
- Sonny Bhatia argues trust is easier under a final decision authority with set protocols, but must be built slowly in ad hoc communities.
- Park rejects the premise of a single ontology for sensemaking, describing instead a plurality of ontologies, with IBIS used for structured conversation in SenseCraft.
