The vision for openflourishing.org

Facilitate open, free, and collaborative knowledge on human flourishing 


OpenFlourishing.org aims to enable collaboration into how humans feel good and function well, as individuals, groups, and societies. It hopes to pool together collective knowledge in ways that complement and even transcend traditional approaches.

Concepts

See the collective picture of how all collaborators view flourishing

Analytics

Cutting edge analytics to build new insights

Visual

Because a picture tells a thousand words

Free and open

All data and maps remain free to access

Big picture

See how concepts piece together to create a bigger picture

Integrative

Integrate the knowledge from diverse fields

Step 1: Contributors add data.

It's easy to contribute two types of data:


  • Terms (concepts, processes, etc.) related to flourishing
  • Relationships between terms


Anyone is free to contribute or download the data.

Step 2: Analyse the data.

The data is processed to create a network.


  • Terms in the same group and sub-group are linked, assuming they are conceptually related.
  • Links are added between related terms, reflecting their explicit relatedness

 

Open-source code is used to perform this processing.

Step 3: Visualise the network.

On this website, the network is visualised using a JavaScript script built on SigmaJS.
