25: Mass Collaboration
Experiment with mass-collaboration platforms, opinion markets and other new tools Other Information:
New ICT tools are already being deployed in the private sector, many are currently being researched, and some are being piloted
in the public sphere. Many of these promise new forms and new scales of eParticipation, but also potentially new challenges
and dangers. Given the importance of eParticipation to Europe‟s future, it is essential to experiment with these new tools
to support European policy making and democracy, also because of the leadership and economic advantages this will bring. EU
institutions should focus energy on experimenting and rolling out new Web 2.0 and web 3.0 tools such as social networking;
mass collaboration platforms; bidding, opinion, decision and prediction markets; innovation jams; tools for aggregating and
summarising arguments and discussion trends; tools for tracking and tracking links between decisions and policy outcomes;
the use of multi-lingual and semantic interoperability; policy modelling and visualisation techniques; etc.
