- in movie credits, where every one of the team is mentioned, even the accountant or the purchasing manager (!),
- in a social network forum or discussion, where all posts are attributed,
- in a Paris based association [1] of leading French companies addressing the value creation and innovation through the use of IT , where every research report is furnished with a list of contributors with their precise roles : sponsors, steering committee members, project manager, core team, reviewers, etc.
Then recognition actualizes into entitlements to be rewarded, which could be translated into owning some IP rights. Again, we can observe some cases:
- in the blogosphere were all blogs are copyrighted,
- in an university where professors/doctors are allowed to patent and own the patent.
There are more complex cases:
- the opensource industry,
- ParisTech Graduate School Open CourseWare.
- The Archilogy Institute , an open creative community developing the next generation of IT governance practices which would be based on IT relationships rather than on IT processes.
