During one of those conversations Adosh pointed me to Demo, a “grammar” for understanding organisations as sets of commitments, agreements and transaction between people, by a group at Delft University. It builds on the speech-act theory of Jurgen Habermas (in turn building on Wittgenstein and Searle). As Elmine did her M Sc. on Habermas in relation to the type of communication possible in weblogs, this of course triggered my interest. I’ll try and dig a bit deeper into it in the coming weeks.
this may be relevant to me now again, wrt governance frameworks in data spaces.
