Towards a Framework for Social Web Platforms: The Neurovation Case
Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Internet and Web Applications and Services (ICIW 2008), IEEE Computer Society Press
Social web platforms have become very popular in the so-called Web 2.0, and there is no end in sight. However, very few systematic models for the constitution of such sociotechnical infrastructures exist in the scientific literature. We therefore present a generic framework for building social web platforms based on the creation of value for individuals, communities and social networks. We applied this framework in the Neurovation project, aiming to establish a platform for creative knowledge workers. This paper describes work in progress and the lessons we have learned so far.
