Abstract

The chapter provides a way for modeling large scale collaboration using an extension to social network diagrams called enterprise social networks (ESNs). The chapter uses the ESN diagrams to describe activities in policy planning and uses these to define the services to be provided by cloud technologies to support large scale collaboration. This chapter describes collaboration by an architecture made up of communities each with a role to ensure that collaboration is sustainable. The architecture is based on the idea of an ensemble of communities all working to a common vision supported by services provided by the collaboration cloud using Web 2.0 technologies.
