Exploring the Collaborative Roam Book Club: Ideas and Insights

·Dec 09, 2020 05:16 PM

An interesting, similar experiment (also a book club), is the collaborative Roam Book Club. I personally haven't participated, and it's not quite what we're aiming for, but it is a curiosity with maybe a few good ideas: https://roamresearch.com/#/app/roam-book-club/page/D-igrPZnN

What I've really been dreaming of is a semantic version of Roam, where all Pages and Blocks are converted into RDF, and then made publishable to the web as a static site, like Andy F. just showed with Jekyll RDF Would make collaborative ontology/wiki development far more intuitive and actually useful, I think

Lowering the barrier both to consumption of content and collaboration is definitely something I’m interested in with this project (the clip I shared). I don’t quite have this wired up yet, but I’m imagining a way for non-technical people to contribute that basically embeds a form (could even be Google Forms, to start), that captures content in the form of structured data, then queues it in an ETL pipeline for curation:

Andy F. yes, love this. essentially version control for a crowdsourced KG
