As INSEMTIVES is concerned with – among other issues – motivation mechanisms and reputation systems, Community Equity was of course of high interest to the partners. Since we will tightly integrate Community Equity with KiWi in the next months, I see a very high potential for collaboration between the projects at this topic. Also, as we are not really investigating reputation systems in KiWi and just employing existing technology, the outcomes of INSEMTIVES might be very valuable to us. Since we couldn’t discuss all issues in sufficient detail, we agreed to have a follow-up meeting in Innsbruck in autumn. I am really looking forward to it!

Other issues we discussed were primarily at the level of dissemination activities. With KiWi, we will try to submit contributions to the Special Issue on Incentives for Semantic Content Creation, edited by Elena and Katharina. We also planned to organise a joint workshop on the topic of Social Computing. A suggestion was to co-locate this workshop with the COOP 2001 conference.

Overall, it was a very interesting and fruitful meeting, and I am really looking forward in working together with INSEMTIVES. And I’d like to thank again Katharina and Elena for the invitation!
