2. So Far Wonderful! –Looked at lots of cases –Taxonomy –Fascinating cross-cutting themes & generalizations –Moving towards ontology And Now -- the Sensemaking –(the other meaning of S in SOC)

3. Smaller Comments on Sense Making Pre-computational Collaboratories? What other kinds of collabs are these SCIENCE collabs least like? And Why? What kind of explanatory constructs to the Science of SOC? –(incentive, coupling, control&flow of resources)

4. What about the Next Layer? Macro SOC

5. SOC - Next Layer Questions Serving the ecology of science, not just collaboratories At a higher level, how do these collaboratories fit in the ecology of knowledge accumulation? What is their Collaboratory-Level MacroTask? –And why - why was that there task? How does that CL-MTask shape the collaboratory? –And why? (e.g., resources & locations) How does the larger ecology shape its evolution? –E.g., integration with (incorporation of) neighboring parts of ecology

How they relate to each other Distributed Research Center Shared Instrument Community Data System Open Community Contribution System Virtual Community Of Practice Expert Consultation Virtual Learning Community Why are they the way they are, from first principles? Rational analysis: Work to be done plus nature and location of different resources (inputs, processing)
