Abstract

A Trustworthy Governable Platform should not only make institutional communication accountable. It should also make participatory relations visible, discussable and revisable by the communities that generate them.

If a platform records structured communications, mandates, purposes, roles, sessions, publications and commitments, then it does not merely create an archive. It creates a relational field. That field can be represented as a dynamic graph.

The crucial question is therefore not only whether TGP data can support auditability. The question is whether TGP data can support participatory graph analytics: an analysis of evolving relations that helps communities understand how participation, agency, responsibility and commoning are actually taking shape.
