Re: [icom] Scope?

Hi Patrick,

Interesting comments about the "scope" used in the Beehive model.

My interpretation is that "scope" could be for example projects that bring 
together different "enterprises" and "organisations" as well as 
"individuals" (crowdsourcing) that are partners collaborating in the 
projects within different "workspaces".

Hence entities might be necessarily related to more than one project.

Cheers,
Marc
