Who: John Kunze
What: The YAMZ.net collaborative vocabulary
builder
Consensus on terms and definitions is at the heart of every discipline, standard, ontology, working group, or pick list. Yet ways to reach consensus
are often stuck in antiquated, dreadfully inefficient, design-by-committee methods that don't support broad-scale testing and feedback. As an alternative, YAMZ.net offers a crowdsourced system for building long-lived vocabularies. It does not compete with
standards, but is a substrate of working draft terms to support standards and working groups. Created by founders of Dublin Core metadata, YAMZ allows anyone to use and comment on others' terms, add and edit their own terms, and rate others’ terms via reputation-based
voting. YAMZ is a domain-agnostic repository of metadata and jargon terms that aims to become as useful and compelling to researchers as Stack Overflow has become to developers. The goal is to be a high-quality substrate of widely reviewed, well-tested candidate
terms and definitions.
Kind regards,
-----
