Seb Schmoller sent me this link today just after my online discussion with Diana Laurillard, and it so encapsulates many of the same sort of points I wanted to make in my presentation. "If I show you carrots mentioned in 'Jamie’s yummo roast beef', you will understand the carrot-to-recipe relationship immediately and unambiguously. …and so will everyone else who encounters instances of our Things, with very few exceptions. Yay! Consensus! Now let me ask a different question: what type of Thing would you look at and say 'that is a Competency'? Would your definition match – or, would you have consensus with – with the person next to you?"
