1Ontology

1Ontology is a Next.js web application designed to systematically organize and share a vast array of business knowledge, including basic principles, key scientific results, and useful case examples. Developed by the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, this platform aims to facilitate the creation, distribution, and discovery of organizational knowledge for researchers, educators, students, computer scientists, information technologists, software developers, managers, and consultants.

Introduction

The 1Ontology project is inspired by the vision of the MIT Process Handbook project, which has been guiding research and development for over a decade. The goal is to create a knowledge base that is not only extensive but also structured in a way that enhances the discovery of new ideas and best practices.

Features

  • Knowledge Organization: Organize business knowledge into a structured and searchable format.
  • Collaboration: Share and collaborate on knowledge with a global community.
  • Case Examples: Access and contribute to a library of case examples and best practices.
  • Customization: Create specific versions of the knowledge base tailored to individual organizational needs.

Project Structure

The project is structured as follows:

  • components/: Contains reusable React components, including authentication, headers, layouts, and ontology-related components.
  • lib/: Includes utility functions, hooks, theme configurations, and Firestore client setup.
  • pages/: Next.js pages for the application's routing.
  • types/: TypeScript interfaces and types for the application.
  • FilesStructurePrinter.js: Utility script for printing the file structure (not part of the application runtime).
