GUCCES - Goals - Users - Circumstance - Competition

Goals

Create an implementation of Tim Berners Lee's semantic web that people could use as an with or as altnernative to reddit, discord, youtube, forums, and wikis

Users

  • User groups
    • Knowledge Builders
      • Researchers, Teachers, Experts in their field, Have some sort of expertise
    • Maintainers / Cleaners
      • Enjoy learning and organizing knowledge. Edit quotes formatting and stuff, add links, add sources
    • Information Consumers
      • People that come to learn new things

Circumstance

The world is made up of walled gardens that do not interact with one another well. If there was a way to do more than just link the memes of the world but catagorize and label these links in complex ways it would change the way humans and AI interact with the internet.

People are still learning how to interact with the internet. Most people on the internet today are lurkers simply consuming content but with a semantic forum people may want to interact more because they feel more comfortable interacting online.

The walled gardens of the internet are causing a lot of censorship which is a problem the semantic forum should be aware of.

Information many places can be too dense therefore people should be able to see the map of memetic links that lead to the creation of said dense information. After all everything is a remix.

Competition

Environment

  • Can be used in real time or asynchronously
  • Interoperable with existing protocols and walled gardens
  • Gives users on internet an identity, perferably uses existing standard or standards

Strategy
