Beziehungswissen

Suche gerade nach Möglichkeiten die Beziehungen zwischen Menschen zu beschreiben. Und zwar nicht mit langer Prosa sondern in Form von kurzen Statements, welche die Art der Beziehung zum Ausdruck bringen. Fündig wurde ich bei http://gmpg.org/xfn/

XFN outlines the relationships between individuals by defining a small set of values that describe personal relationships.

Das müsste doch passen.

Beziehungen können über diverse Attribute beschrieben werden:

HTML4 definition of the ‘rel’ attribute. Here are some additional values, each of which can be used or omitted in any combination (unless otherwise noted, and except where prohibited by law) and their meanings, symmetry, transitivity and inverse if any. Please see the XFN home page for more information about XFN.

Friendship (pick at most one)

acquaintance

Someone who you have exchanged greetings and not much (if any) more — maybe a short conversation or two. Often symmetric.

friend

Someone you are a friend to. A compatriot, buddy, home(boy|girl) that you know. Often symmetric.

Physical

met

Someone who you have actually met in person. Symmetric.

Professional

co-worker

Someone a person works with, or works at the same organization as. Symmetric. Usually transitive.

colleague

Someone in the same field of study/activity. Symmetric. Often transitive.

Geographical (pick at most one)

co-resident

Someone you share a street address with. Symmetric and transitive.

neighbor

Someone who lives nearby, perhaps only at an adjacent street address or doorway. Symmetric. Often transitive.

Family (pick at most one)

child

A person’s genetic offspring, or someone that a person has adopted and takes care of. Inverse is parent.

parent

Inverse of child.

sibling

Someone a person shares a parent with. Symmetric. Usually transitive.

spouse

Someone you are married to. Symmetric. Not transitive.

Romantic

muse

Someone who brings you inspiration. No inverse.

crush

Someone you have a crush on. No inverse.

date

Someone you are dating. Symmetric. Not transitive.

sweetheart

Someone with whom you are intimate and at least somewhat committed, typically exclusively. Symmetric. Not transitive.

WordPress z.B. unterstützt XFN in der Link Liste - zumindest ein Subset der möglichen Attribute.

Doch wer nutzt diese Feature wirklich? Man hat ja schon genug zu tun sein Netzwerk auf Facebook und Co im Griff zu behalten.

Trotzdem: ich bohr da mal weiter und baue XFN like Relations in eine Business Lösung ein – da kommen dann wohl noch ein paar Attribute hinzu ;-)

Und noch folgendes:

Negative relationship terms have been omitted from XFN by design. The authors think that such values would not serve a positive ends and thus made the deliberate decision to leave them out.

Guter Ansatz, oder?

Hypertextual Mind

However, hypertextual cognition is not limited to the single individual accessing the collective memory in a connective way. It is also shared cognition. The contents of our screens are available simultaneously to many people at once, synchronously, or over time, diachronously. The contents of screens and databases may not be as flexible or nuanced and complex as those of our private minds, but they are often more reliable, not only by repeating faithfully what they originally represented,
but also by enriching themselves with new links and new additions and adducing new partners in thought.

Interessante Gedanken, vor allem auch, wenn man sie in Bezug auf Zusammenarbeit betrachtet: Externalisiertes Wissen das laufend angereichert wird durch mehrere Individuen.

lesenswert.
