Conclusions of the Group Work "Metaverses and 3D Environments",
Made by Gómez-Diago,G.; Serrano García,R.;Hughes,M. is published in the Blog of the IV Congress of Cibersociety, waiting for being published in the Proceedinngs of the Congress(ISBN: 978-84-613-7299-7. Register number: 09/125019)
The set of slides submitted by Professor Pierre Lévy ("Toward a Civilization of a Collective Intelligence") contextualize the remaining works in a brilliant and clear way. “Toward a Civilization of Collective Intelligence” encourages us to think about the most important changes that have happened in our society, pointing out the necessity of a new language that can represent the essence of Collective Intelligence.
Understanding the term “Virtual World” as a space which is formed by human actions, their objects and the interactions between them. Pierre Lévy proposes the Information Economy Metalanguage (IEML) which is derived from two philosophical dialectics: 1. virtual / actual, 2. seeing / being / thing_ for the interface between the human mind and the computer power of cyberspace. The IEML semantic space can be used practically as a coordinate system to represent economic, social and cultural phenomena and can be considered theoretically as an abstract place where human collective intelligence is unfolding.
For commenting about the insights of the other 17 works submitted in our Group of Work, we have assigned to each one of four categories, depending on the perspective of the authors. The categories are:
1, Theoretical Explorations of Virtual Worlds
2, Educational and business experiences in Second Life
3, Creation of tools for being used in Second Life
4, Exemplification of characteristics and applications of Second Life
