Talk:Collaborative Service Network

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the Collaborative Service Network "Talk Page". As per Wikipedia guidelines, I propose that this area be used primarily to discuss submissions to this wikipedia entry with minimal debates regarding what is and isn't a Collaborative Service Network. A Wiki will be made available through www.collaborativeservicenetworks.org ([1]) for that purpose. Happy editing :) Timhibberd (talk) 18:28, 18 November 2007 (UTC).

I have emailed to Robert that this is part of the launch of an open collaborativeservicenetworks.org initiative. I would ask that it remain though I will respect the wishes of the editing board of Wikipedia. I include the text of the email I sent to Robert below for reference (Timhibberd (talk) 09:07, 25 November 2007 (UTC)):


I am the R&D Commercialisation manager at Smart Internet Cooperative Research Centre in Australia (www.smartinternet.com.au) and can be reached at tim.hibberd@smartinternet.com.au (in addition to my personal address used here... timhibberd@ictwave.com).

I have been in the business of designing next generation networks for the last 25 years and hold 4 patents in the area of advanced communication networks. I have been involved in the design and deployment of telecommunications devices and major telecom services that are in use worldwide.

My team has just completed a multi-year R&D project defining the next generation in layer-7 switching networks (Collaborative Service Networks) and are in the process of growing the public information base around the topic. This will be performed in an open and internet rfc compliant fashion through the launch of collaborativeservicenetworks.org over the next few months. We are not doing this in isolation and are working on this with a number of leading international companies, the Federal Government of Australia, and a number of Australian universities.

The term "Collaborative Service Network" has not been copyrighted or trademarked by our organisation so that it can be openly and freely used in a non-commercial fashion. To ensure that others do not trademark or copyright the expression while we launch the "dot-org" we need to ensure that the expression is published widely and that adoption is promoted universally. It was for this reason that I submitted the definition to the Wiktionary and the details to Wikipedia.

It is an unfortunate side-effect of the freedom of the Internet that squatters will immediately misappropriate internet terminology for their own commercial benefit and at the expense of society. To avoid this, our government funded research organisation has acquired the domain names associated with the concept and was looking to add the Wikionary and Wikipedia entries to align with the launch of the "dot-org". These will all be managed by the openly nominated board of the Collaborativeservicenetworks.org (as one would hope).

I would be disappointed if Wiktionary / Wikipedia did not promote the creation of new language rather than simply publishing accepted language. Language has some fluidity required to remain topical and to evolve. I respect the dilemma, however, of editors of Wiktionary and Wikipedia, in that common adoption is only recognised in retrospect. However, new language will only propogate if validated by reputable sources. Timhibberd (talk) 09:07, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
