====== Karma Initiative ======
Theses pictures show the resulting work of BarCampParis3 .
==== Description ====
Discussion going on:
Alexandre Solleiro
- A method to trace feedback and visualize reputation (this is what we call Karma)
- Based on profiles: either a human's profile, or an object's profile.
Karma Initiative is a way of establishing karma. Karma established this way is:
- Global: karma can be impacted by inputs from a single platform, or from multiple platforms (possibly all the Web).
- Persistent: valid throughout time.
- Ponderated: karma data is put into perspective thanks to contextual variables, at all times (it takes subjectivity into account, and encourages it)
- Direct: it is explicitly and transparently created, and is explicit and transparent to the reader (be it human or machine).
As such, Karma Initiative can be used as a plugin in any existing platform that ensures a user's identity (from Wikipedia to any online forum). Also, it can be added to any proven (or unproven, for that matter) "global" ID-management system, such as OpenID or ClaimID (to name two).
It's an Initiative for that reason. And because of the bad bad Dharma Initiative (yes, from Lost, yes, the TV series).
End of what Alexandre Solleiro says
- - Identité numérique décentralisée pour des projets ou des humains,
- URL unique servant d'identifiant sur plusieurs services,-
==== Karma Initiative model ===
Alexandre Solleiro says
To this first drawing, only a tagging rule has to be added. A textual description follows, because my writing sucked that day.
The second and third drawings are Glenn's drafts of the query structures and grammar.
The Karma Initiative model can be applied to humans or objects. We'll first describe the human model.
The model for humans
- Every user has a profile.
- Every profile is made of a karma box__, __trackbacks and tags__.
- The profile is __pinged by every object the user creates or modifies inside a platform (can be all the Web). We're calling these trackbacks__. Every trackback has at least an unique ID and a link to the object itself. The objects can be anything: a blog post, a wiki page, a blog comment, an image, a video, a sound file, a forum post, an email...
- The profile __regroups all tags attributed to objects, trackbacks, or directly to the user.

==== Problemes ? ====
==== Cas d'utilisation ====
- integreation de l'identité au sein des différents types de blogs, wiki, etc...
- utilisation comme identifiant au sein de tout service décentralisé
