To do this, it would be best if a decentralised, cooperative framework of collaborators could work together, with transparency." A few things: [1] Open Source != Open Data -- lots of Open Source projects don't work with structured data based on open standards (e.g., Linked Open Data). [2] Linked Open Data is the atom, not Open Source application code. I think your value proposition might be: Decentralized data spaces for broad collaboration that's built around open standards for structured data representation, integration, and interaction. Interaction includes loosely coupled read-write operations, based on open standards e.g., those emerging from the RWW effort, which are all based on existing (and emerging) standards from various W3C communities and workgroups. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog 1: http://kidehen.blogspot.com Personal Weblog 2: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter Profile: https://twitter.com/kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/+KingsleyIdehen/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen Personal WebID: http://kingsley.idehen.net/dataspace/person/kidehen#this
