Hi Chris, great to see your ontology and thanks for putting this up. Would you say this is a climate problem ontology or a whole mission (sustainable future) problem ontology? There seem to be elements of both. Of the three collaborative elements you introduce, I couldn't find much about the 2nd and 3rd, 'match/mismatch-making' and 'collaboration governance rules and tools' - did I misread or are these still to be added? Are these areas where you would get the 'passion leverage'? By itself the ontology looks intellectual and analytical, so the connection with leveraging passion would be fun to expand upon if you wish. What do you think of the Climate Solutions Meshwork (http://2020.global.gaiaspace.org/global/ ) which is perhaps an attempt to do this kind of thing?
Your proposal looks like a position on a really important debate that hasn't yet been made explicit on the CoLab - the interplay of the 2 basic approaches for handling complex system problems, ontological reductionism and ontological holism. Do we get leverage over complex challenges by breaking a problem down into conceptually simpler pieces or by seeking simpler patterns that emerge between the pieces? The 1st gets prioritised because its comfortable familiarity is mistaken for objective reality. The world is 'set up' to solve problems one way but not the other. However I bet it must be possible to use an ontology non-reductively? Glad of your advice.
Best wishes, James

All of these proposals advocate open source/crowdsource mechanisms to speed response to climate change, at least as I read them. It seems we each have different parts of the puzzle and should consider collaborating whatever the outcome of the contest.

Overall assessment:
Interesting ideas on crowd-based problem solving, but linkages to how such approaches would affect climate change could be developed more fully.
Specific comments and suggestions for improvement:
- While this is an interesting model for crowdsourcing or online collaborations it is unclear how the proposal will lead to solutions that will specifically make a significant dent on the climate problem.

Hey, have you expanded on this concept more? Would you like to? Are you looking for things that could swallowtail/piggyback with this?
