About "Gardens of Meaning"
Thanks to the inspiration of many, "Gardens of Meaning" is becoming a compelling metaphor. It is intended to help understand and model the process of capturing, creating and evolving a shared conceptualisation within a group of people.
The metaphor is also intended to guide the design of software tools that can support the collaborative process of sharing meaning. Tools that are intuitive, robust, scalable, and which enable the management of dependencies between the artefacts that express a conceptualisation and the information systems in which they are deployed.
But the bottom line is that the people, and the process, come first. Through understanding the work of developing a shared conceptualisation, we may understand how to support that work with software. The end goal is to make the cultivation and exploitation of shared meaning both cost-effective and accessible to communities, enterprises and organisations of any size.
