Social networking

Contrary to the approaches of existing social networking software, where either one company controls the data of all users, or each user controls her/his own data, cosmopool takes a (mostly local) community of users as the basic building block of a trust network. Aiming at a non-hierarchical structuring of society (in particular regarding moneyless economic activity) we see communities as a source of reliability, which failing individuals could not afford.

The local communities provide a certain degree of anonymity to their members. They are operating network nodes over which they have physical control and hold the personalized data of their members.

Ontology creation

Cosmopool allows users to define their own knowledge model, i.e. objects and their relations. Users can share these structures with others, but there are also common structures which emerge from a well-thought peer-review process.
