ontology of the corporate self serves the team interest

So often when we talk of relationships and the classes within them we come to rest on definitions that take others into account but rarely touch on the self. The self is often regarded as a profile, a class if you will of employee.

Social networking has changed this bias, but it hasn't broken the chains of it in the way relationships are defined.

The ontology of the self is still immature. It resides in different forms everywhere, but it never grows beyond the confines of the interface people have to define elements of self. Social networking is tailored by how those defined elements extend the reach of the self to build teams for whatever function the kernel hierarchy attracts other selves to push as the team exploration.

From a philological standpoint the self is a polymorphic entity containing history as a launching point to new experiences.

Social networking is limited by extension. It is unable to exchange the self by attaching new definitions within limited interfaces. Experience is not carried into the future and change is limited by attaching the limits of a new interface.

This is the case for distributed accessible identities and a complete ontological definition of the self.

The morphology of the self and the low level elements that redefine the interface of self (rather than the self within the interface) is the future of social networking, online learning and species advancement in the machine of technically aided thought/interaction.

What cannot be forgotten is knowledge management ownership and access. The human in the technology must never be forgotten. Tricks of the trade must never be lost even as the bar is raised with specialization. Human validation of mastery must dominate as must face to face iterations for the purpose of advancement.
