Linking Road Map to Application Cases

A small number of published and ongoing cases help the interested reader in understanding and assessing the potential of the approach proposed by Pragmeta Knowledge Clout.

The differentiating elements in these application cases are explained under three headings:

Gradually, more cases will become available that involve a growing number of stakeholders, including smallholders, and that reference the systematized knowledge commons.

As the reader explores the cases, he or she will also appreciate the dependency upon web-based solutions, of coherent and collectively efficient problem solving.

Application Case Details

For each concluded and ongoing case, the table below briefly summarizes the footprint in the systematized knowledge commons. A link is provided to further details of the case.

Convention on Knowledge Commons	For the rationale, see: global agreement; for current status, see: Convention on Knowledge Commons wiki; for each case, it is indicated why the convention matters to the case.
Collective Regulative Bundle	For a brief description see: Collective Regulative Bundle introduction; the related wiki is under construction; for each case the methodology-use is briefly explained.
Entity Dictionary	For a brief description see: Entity Dictionary introduction; the related wiki is under construction; for each case the TO-BE link with the entity dictionary is briefly explained, and further links are provided.
Interaction Dictionary	For a brief description see: Interaction Dictionary introduction; the related wiki is under construction; for each case the TO-BE link with the interactions dictionary is briefly explained, and further links are provided.
Actant Dictionary	For a brief description see: Actant Dictionary introduction; the related wiki is under construction; for each case the TO-BE link with the actant dictionary is briefly explained, and further links are provided.
Indicator Dictionary	For a brief description see: Indicator Dictionary introduction from where there is a link to the related wiki; for each case the link with the indicator dictionary is briefly explained, and further links are provided.

Convention on Knowledge Commons	The UNFCCC framework convention and many of the institutional instruments it applies are knowledge commons. Moreover, the Long-Term Cooperative Actions that are being negotiated will be very knowledge-intensive. By providing as systematized knowledge commons, the institutional arrangements, implementation approaches, standards, and public-domain engineering knowledge, their understanding, diffusion and adoption will be accelerated, for a much lower overall cost. A Convention on Knowledge Commons clarifies a socio-economic (business) model that reconciles market benefits with low-hurdle commons provision.
Collective Regulative Bundle	Where the Warming of the climate system (as assessed by the IPCC in its Assessment Reports) is the global problem that has initiated the Framework Convention, the Preamble to the shared vision shows that adaptation and mitigation strategies must cope with a hugely complex problem-mess. Systematic methods to deal with collective problem messes have hardly been consolidated in the scholarly literature, nor have web-based technologies been bundled effectively. Yet, the open communication approach that is implemented by the UNFCCC website facilitates a further connecting of more minds and services while walking through the regulative bundle to contain the problem mess. A causal chain linking factors at different socio-technical levels, primarily in the most vulnerable settings, will be used to evaluate the fitness of the Copenhagen Agreement drafts. The entry point is UN Climate Talks.
Entity Dictionary	The UNFCCC involves interactions among many entities, including the governments of the Parties, new institutional entities, industry, technology, the geophysical environment. The climate talks will lead to modifications in the rights, responsibilities and restrictions of the parties, and their constituencies, with respect to particular objects, including intellectual property objects. An UNFCCC entity analysis could be developed on the basis of the draft agreement texts which are at UNFCCC civic wiki.
Interaction Dictionary	The negotiation texts specify details of a large number of interactions, such as emission trading, clean development mechanism, adaptation and mitigation actions, planning, etc. An UNFCCC interaction analysis could be developed on the basis of the draft agreement texts which are at UNFCCC civic wiki.
Actant Dictionary	The negotiations describe several registers and templates that will be used in the adaptation and mitigation actions, and the large number of related interactions. An UNFCCC actant analysis could be developed on the basis of the draft agreement texts which are at UNFCCC civic wiki.
Metrics Dictionary	Several targets, including emission targets per country, are determined and monitored both for parties and non-parties to the agreement. An UNFCCC indicator list could be developed on the basis of the draft agreement texts which are at UNFCCC civic wiki.
Reference	For full details on the UNFCCC and the ongoing UN Climate Talks, see the UNFCCC website, an easy-to-navigate version of the texts on Long-Term Cooperative Action is at UNFCCC civic wiki. There is also a Linkedin Group UNFCCC Friends where news on the UN Climate Talks is bundled, and its pertinence to the agreement draft texts, and their analysis is commented upon.

Convention on Knowledge Commons	The case illustrates the distinction between knowledge commons in the public domain, and knowledge assets that are better nurtured in the proprietary domain.
Collective Regulative Bundle	This case illustrates the use of the Regulative Cycle for a problem mess in a multi-level operations theatre. A causal chain linking factors at different levels is used to determine the design target.
Entity Dictionary	It includes class models of the principals, and their rights, responsibilities and restrictions concerning institution objects.
Interaction Dictionary	The focus is on interactions that matter in cross-border trade as described by the INCO terms, and on VAT duties in the EU (institutional interactions). The MTIC fraud case is used to illustrate regulatory change.
Actant Dictionary	Several documents such as invoices, orders, VAT declarations are addressed in detail.
Metrics Dictionary	The improvements targeted by the design are qualified in reference to several balanced-dashboard dimensions of the stakeholders involved in the case.
