2011年4月22日 · Bill St. Arnaud: "At the this weeks spring Internet 2 meeting there was a major announcement on Internet 2’s new Open Science, Scholarship and Services Exchange (OS3E) initiative.

2021年7月19日 · From the Wikipedia: "Teikei (提携) is a system of community-supported agriculture in Japan, where consumers purchase food directly from farmers. Teikei is closely associated with small-scale, local, organic farming, and volunteer-based, non-profit partnerships between producers and consumers. Millions of Japanese consumers participate in teikei.
Their novel initiative, called GreenXchange, aims to allow companies to share intellectual property for green product design, packaging, manufacturing, and other uses. If it succeeds, this budding coalition could accelerate innovation across companies and sectors. At minimum, it stands to rewrite the rules about how companies share.
- The Three Value Models and The Transition to A Social Knowledge Economy

- Cognitive/Netarchical Capitalism vs. An Open-Commons Based Knowledge Society
- Introducing The New Configuration Between State, Civil Society and The Market
- Beyond The Market, Beyond Planning?
In order to frame the transition to a 'social knowledge economy' or a Commons-based societal model, we use a framing of three particular 'value extraction and distribution' systems, which determine how economic value is created, extracted, and distributed. The traditional capitalist value model is of course well known, but the emergence of a knowle...
Value regimes are more or less associated with technology regimes, since the forces at play want to protect their interests through the control of technological and media platforms, which encourage certain behaviours and logics, but discourage others. The powers over technological protocols and value-driven design decisions are used to create techn...
It may be useful here to directly compare two synthetic and countervailing scenarios. On the one hand, the for-profit driven scenarios that are in harmony with the present political economy of capital; and on the other hand, the alternative scenario of the social knowledge economy based on open-commons principles. So: What exactly is an open-common...
What can we learn from the already existing social knowledge economy
The social knowledge economy is not an utopia, or just a project for the future. It is rooted in an already existing social and economic practice, that of commons-oriented peer production, which is already producing commons of knowledge, code, and design, and it has produced real economies like the free software economy, the open hardware economy, the free culture economy, etc... In its most broad interpretation, concerning all the economic activities that are emerging around open and shared...
The new configuration
In the old neoliberal vision, value is created in the private sector by workers mobilized by capital; the state becomes a market state protecting the privileged interests of property owners; and civil society is a derivative rest category, as is evidenced in the use of our language (non-profits, non-governmental). Nevertheless, the combination of labor and civic movements has partially succeeded in socialising the market, achievements which are now under threat. In the new vision of cognitive...
Why is this a post-capitalist scenario?
Capitalist-driven societies produce for exchange value, which may be useful, or not; and continuously strives to create new social desires and demands. By way of contrast, the open-commons based knowledge economy consists of a productive civil society of contributors, citizen contributors who continuously contribute to the commons of their choice based on use value motivations; it is around these use-value commons that an ethical market and economy finds its place, and creates added value for...
The key role of Commons-Based Reciprocity Licenses
Here we are making a key strategic argument about the precise interaction between the commons and the new ethical market sectors, through the intermediation of a new type of commonslicense that supports the actual emergence of a reciprocity-based ethical economy. Today, the labor/p2p/commons and other social change movements are indeed faced with a paradox. On the one hand, we have the re-emergence of the cooperative movement and worked-owned enterprises, but they suffer from structural weakn...
Mutual coordination mechanisms in the new 'ethical' entrepreneurial coalitions: Cybersin redux?
Traditional economic debates are often between the options of state-initiated planning on the one side, and the allocation through market pricing signals on the other hand. But the social knowledge economy shows the increasing likely path of a third method of allocation, that of transparent mutual coordination. The first attempt to such a type of resource-based economy, in the Soviet Union of the 1960's, when the construction of a proto-internet was initiated, is well documented in the book b...
