*Who: *John Kunze
*What: *The YAMZ.net collaborative vocabulary builder
Consensus on terms and definitions is at the heart of every discipline,
standard, ontology, working group, or pick list. Yet ways to reach
consensus are often stuck in antiquated, dreadfully inefficient,
design-by-committee methods that don't support broad-scale testing and
feedback. As an alternative, YAMZ.net offers a crowdsourced system for
building long-lived vocabularies. It does not compete with standards, but
is a substrate of working draft terms to support standards and working
groups. Created by founders of Dublin Core metadata, YAMZ allows anyone to
use and comment on others' terms, add and edit their own terms, and rate
others’ terms via reputation-based voting. YAMZ is a domain-agnostic
repository of metadata and jargon terms that aims to become as useful and
compelling to researchers as Stack Overflow has become to developers. The
goal is to be a high-quality substrate of widely reviewed, well-tested
candidate terms and definitions.

Kind regards,
