− | ATTENTION: We are going through another systematic revision cycle of the OVN model. See more on [[OVN 3.0]] page..

| + | The OVN wiki is primarily useful to those who engage in p2p practices, as part of open networks. At the same time, it is also a great source of information and inspiration for those who evolve in traditional settings, but want to engage in hybrid activities, engage in [[open innovation]] or [[open source]] development, interface with online communities or any open network out there. |
− | Open Value Network (OVN) refers to a new organisational framework designed to support [[commons-based peer production]]. This organisation is by nature and from birth [[transnational]] (i.e. operating beyond the influence of [[states]]).
| |
| | | |
− | OVNs rely on technology (digital infrastructures) to support their operations. They have no (or very few) formal mechanisms of power to allow centralization of control over the platform (the technological infrastructure) that enables the activities of the network, although it is evident that they exhibit informal power structures. Examples are [[Bitcoin]], [[Ethereum]], [[Sensorica]], etc.
| |
| | | |
| + | Open network-type organizations are not new, but with the advent of the digital technology they've came to the mainstream, as they have become channels for great achievements in the past three decades, and are starting to be seen as necessary vehicles for global and complex endeavours. We believe that OVN is the organization of the future. Nothing is certain about the future, but the past 30 years we've seen an exponential increase in their presence and size, in almost all spheres of human activity. |

In the context of participatory economics, this network illustrates new forms of cooperation, ways of managing collaborations based on the model of P2P, based on a partnership of shared values system.''"

− | OVNs are ''open'', they are also called [[permissionless]], i.e. access to participation is unrestricted, which means that anyone can become part of them without the need to go through a hiring process or to sign an employment contract.. The term ''network'' refers to a set relations between autonomous agents, which define their respective roles, including duties or responsibilities and rewards. Agents are called ''affiliates'' in the OVN model.

− | "''Our thesis is that in order to reward all the participants in p2p [peer to peer] economic activity, and thus to incentivize contributions and make participation sustainable for everyone, we need to do contribution accounting: record everyone's contribution, evaluate these contributions, and calculate every participant's fair share. This method for redistribution of benefits must be established at the beginning of the economic process, in a transparent way. It constitutes a contract among participants, and it allows them to estimate their rewards in relation with their efforts. We call this the contribution accounting system.''"[3]

Such systems are a growing trend among digital communities, according to a 2016 P2P Value study, which found that 86 percent of the 300 digital communities it studied use open value accounting systems.19 An “open value network” – a term first introduced by Verna Allee – describes “the connections between companies and the channels through which intangibles move between them.” An open value network is more distributed than conventional value chains, and not necessarily hierarchical.''"[5]<br>

− | "''The organizational model of Sensorica has been identified as an ‘Open Value Network’ (OVN). An OVN has been developed as a generic organizational and business model apt to enhance and support CBPP. It is highly adaptive, fully de-centralized and governed through distributed decision-making processes and resource allocation. Inspired by the practices exemplified by free and open-source projects, it supports open participation, with low barriers of entry and is designed to empower permissionless individual action through open knowl-edge and transparent processes.''"

It can take various forms and can be adapted according to each context (Siddiqui & Brastaviceanu, 2013). OVNs allow individuals and organizations to create common value in an open environment, while keeping account of the different contributions in a common ledger system. All assets are commonly held by the network and the co-created value is distributed equitably within and beyond the network.''"[7]

Welcome!
Here we describe the Open Value Network organizational model (OVN for short) and its implementation in real-live ventures.
We can also say that this wiki describes the p2p economy, peer production, or the 4th sector, in theory and in practice.
The OVN wiki is primarily useful to those who engage in p2p practices, as part of open networks. At the same time, it is also a great source of information and inspiration for those who evolve in traditional settings, but want to engage in hybrid activities, engage in open innovation or open source development, interface with online communities or any open network out there.
Open network-type organizations are not new, but with the advent of the digital technology they've came to the mainstream, as they have become channels for great achievements in the past three decades, and are starting to be seen as necessary vehicles for global and complex endeavours. We believe that OVN is the organization of the future. Nothing is certain about the future, but the past 30 years we've seen an exponential increase in their presence and size, in almost all spheres of human activity.
NEW: REVISION EFFORT
ATTENTION: We are going through another systematic revision cycle of the OVN model. See more on OVN 3.0 page.

Definition
Open Value Network (OVN) refers to a new organizational framework designed to support commons-based peer production. This organization is by nature and from birth transnational.
More on What is an open value network?
Background
The OVN organizational model was first proposed, developed and implemented by Sensorica affiliates to support material commons-based peer production (i.e. the production of material things by open networks), in early 2011. Sensorica was created in February 2011 - see the 2013 TEDx video presentation by Tibi.
