The ASN
The Augmented Social Network is a proposal for a "next generation" online community that would strengthen the collaborative nature of the Internet, enhancing its ability to act as a public commons that engages citizens in civil society. The ASN creates an infrastructure for trusted relationships across the entire Internet -- enabling innovation in democratic governance, alternative economics, and social organization of all kinds.

About the blog
The blog is for announcements, design discussions, implementation news, and technical notes. We are particularly concerned with the technologies relevant to the ASN: persistent identity, interoperability of community software, brokering, matching, ontologies, social network theory and communities of practice.
