Platform Cooperativism
= concept and practice suggested by Trebor Scholz, in the article: "Platform Cooperativism vs. the Sharing Economy" [1]
Description
Excerpted :
" Worker–owned cooperatives could design their own apps-based platforms, fostering truly peer-to-peer ways of providing services and things "
Examples
... of ongoing projects:
( Dante-Gabryell Monson ) suggesting the spirit of Platform Cooperativism being empowered by Open Linked Data approaches :
- Loomio http://loomio.org/ ( including Open API approach : https://www.loomio.org/g/exAKrBUp/openapp )
- Assemblée Virtuelle , Rhizi , Open Value Network / Mikorizal Software , Netention , Metamaps Gen3 , ...

Discussion
Dante :
What leads people to generating engagements amongst each other ? How are Social Contracts generated ? How can technology, such as Linked Data and Open Data be used to facilitate Resource Allocation in forms of Emergent Management , enabling increased Situational Awareness ?
I see money as a social contract, as metadata produced out of a debt contract. I see potential in enabling a directed graphed approach to blend a variety of metadata, generating our own layers of metadata , developing an understanding of their interdependencies and externalities. Contextualize needs and offers, suggestions and intentions ( Netention - Slides )
I imagine an emergent approach to governance and finance, which could enable a transfer of resources into communal shareholding dynamics , in support of the Commons , reducing hoarding , artificial scarcity, infinite accumulation of property.
Such tools are still in development ( various softwares , many open source : rhizi, metamaps, netention, nrp, ... ) with ideally open api's to facilitate cross platform usage of linked data.
