We are pursuing the vision of a [[generic organisation]]al framework composed of people working together on their projects and organisations in a defined unified way, which we shall attempt to describe in this article. The global [[Web3]] movement and our local [[wiki organisation]] ideas form a part of our shared vision, but it is important to understand that we are not talking about a specific technology here, but rather a way of working which can be encapsulated by, or implemented within almost any collaborative environment. The key is in the definition itself and the ability for all members to work in accord with its current state and for it to be able to undergo refinement through collaboration.
 
  
−
The definition of this [[system]] undergoes continuous refinement as we use it to organise and manage our own jobs and [[project]]s. There are a number of top-level aspects to this way which we call [[class]]es. The whole system is encapsulated in an overall tree structure which we call the [[Organic Ontology]], eventually we hope for this structure to be defined to the extent that a complete description of the [[system]] can be exported in an official ontology using [[w:Web Ontology Language|Web Ontology Language]]. This exported information can then be importing into other high level environments such as project management and scheduling software, or other interactive environments like [[Croquet]].

== About the structure ==
+
This is the top level structure of information portals for Organic Design. We intend to use this structure to navigate our system and do our work. Currently this is only a snapshop of our ontology which is manually recreated in the sidebar tree. Every top level node (e.g. "Direction") represents a significant aspect of the organisation which has an information portal where related information can be accessed or created. Information portals (or simply "Portals") are usually the entry point to more fine-grained data structures such as lists of documents or records created with forms (e.g. Timesheets, Task lists, Memos, etc.). Together, the top-level ontology with the portals structure as well as the various record types and reports used by the organisation represent an increasingly complete and functional description of the system the organisation uses. This structure should be accessible through the Internet and editable through a web browser - with due process and permissions where required.

The current tree is basically a two-level category tree using [[:Category:Classes]] as the root, but the class nodes in the tree link to their portal article instead of the usual category page. Each of the classes have their subcategories shown within their tree node, but this level just links to normal category pages not to further portals.

== Naming and navigation conventions ==
−
The tree is a query of all the items in the [[:Category:Classes|Classes category]], but those items are all named as singulars (because the names describe insgular instances, i.e. an article ''is a '' person, not a people). But the category and portals are named as plurals because they represent groups of instances. We've used the [[Template:Plural|Plural template]] to transform a name from singular to plural.

*All top-level portals are categorised into the category of the organisation

*Cat-tree|{{OrganisationName}}

*The OrganisationName template is a configuration template that allows the top level of the ontology, which links to the organisation home, to be set and all top-level portals to be categorised into it. The naming of the Organisation can then be performed when the wiki organisation is first set up and allows the top-level portals to be listed as members of that organisation.

Legacy.svg Legacy: This article describes a concept that has been superseded in the course of ongoing development on the Organic Design wiki. Please do not develop this any further or base work on this concept, this is only useful for a historic record of work done. You may find a link to the currently used concept or function in this article, if not you can contact the author to find out what has taken the place of this legacy item.


Current Organic Design Ontology

This is the top level structure of information portals for Organic Design. We intend to use this structure to navigate our system and do our work. Currently this is only a snapshop of our ontology which is manually recreated in the sidebar tree. Every top level node (e.g. "Direction") represents a significant aspect of the organisation which has an information portal where related information can be accessed or created. Information portals (or simply "Portals") are usually the entry point to more fine-grained data structures such as lists of documents or records created with forms (e.g. Timesheets, Task lists, Memos, etc.). Together, the top-level ontology with the portals structure as well as the various record types and reports used by the organisation represent an increasingly complete and functional description of the system the organisation uses. This structure should be accessible through the Internet and editable through a web browser - with due process and permissions where required.

Types of templates to sync

Created upon org set-up

Naming and navigation conventions

  • All top-level portals are categorised into the category of the organisation
  • Cat-tree|Organic Design
  • The OrganisationName template is a configuration template that allows the top level of the ontology, which links to the organisation home, to be set and all top-level portals to be categorised into it. The naming of the Organisation can then be performed when the wiki organisation is first set up and allows the top-level portals to be listed as members of that organisation.
