Towards a civilization of collective intelligence by Pierre Levy

Hey transitioners. I saw this presentation and could help spreading the wave here. Its very impressive to me to observe how we are building new languages for our next evolutionary stage. If you wonder what is happening in the field of the semantic web this is a must see.

"Toward a Civilization of Collective Intelligence" identifies the most important changes that have happened in our society. The slides introduce the necessity of a new language that can set a link between the machine process of cyberspace and the human collective intelligence, which is dynamic, in constant change and made in different languages, from different approaches. We need a language that represent the essence of Collective Intelligence as a Virtual World, understanding this term not only as a space where we can interact as avatars but as a global space that is formed by the human actions, their objects and interaction.
To overcome several obstacles to information exchange and human collective intelligence (diverse ontologies reflecting different contexts and area of practice, diverse classifications systems, diverse folksonomies emerging from social tagging, multiple natural languages...), the Information Economy Metalanguage (IEML) can help to solve: 1. the semantic interoperability problem and 2. the problem of self-reference of digital-based collective intelligence. IEML is a putative language, a generative machine for the interface between the human mind and the computer power of cyberspace that is entirely derived from two philosophical dialectics: 1. virtual / actual, 2. sing / being / thing. The IEML semantic space can be used practically as a coordinate system to represent economic, social and cultural phenomena and can be considered theoretically as an abstract place where human collective intelligence is unfolding.
