title = "Structure and governance of communities for the digital society",
abstract = "It has been argued that the value of communities is that they can solve certain types of collective action problems which are resistant to purely market-based or policy-based solutions. Such problems increasingly arise in a data-driven information economy, the (so-called) sharing economy, and in economies of scarcity, where the added-value of information, reciprocity or other pro-social behaviour is indeterminate, and/or the qualitative nature of traded services is subjective and cannot simply be measured by kilowatts, tons, etc. It is therefore predicted that self-organised community systems will be of increasing importance as a mechanism for solving collective action problems in the digital society. Using community energy systems as an exemplar, this paper investigates the inter-weaving of (holonic) structure and (algorithmic) governance which are required to deliver air, sustainable and successful community-based solutions.",
