This post aims to bring a series of collective intelligence applications in real life.
Those applications are also examples of how data fusion and related algorithms are functional to creating collective knowledge.
By simply googling for searching those applications is not always easy. So I made a list of links coming from the European commission’s program on Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation.
Each link points to a page explainning the idea behing the project.

A last thing that I’d like to add is about a paper on collective intelligence that explains C.I through the genome concept. The Collective Intelligence Genome (http://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/the-collective-intelligence-genome/) In this paper the building blocks of C.I. systems are explained. To guide the reader through the process the authors use the questions Why. What, Who and How.
Happy reading.
