'''Identity'''

'''Identity'''

: Each player or participant should be able to create and manage a unique identity in the network. Every interaction of the player with the network should be accounted in the player's metrics, as eventually, this may be part of the player dashboard. Each player may have an individual reputation, based on other players' ratings made on his contributions.  

: Each User should be able to create and manage a unique identity in the network. Every interaction of the User with the network should be accounted in the User's metrics, as eventually, this may be part of the User's dashboard. Each User may have an individual reputation, based on other Users' ratings made on his contributions.  

'''Understanding'''

'''Understanding'''

: A player should be able to view all objects and optionally apply filters to control their view based on the resource type, the Network Zoom level, tags, or the associated player/team. In this preview, we may be able to offer basic statistics of the object in order to give an analytical perspective to the selection. The player should be able to select the object in order to participate on a deeper level, where he should be able to explore the associated resources. As a player, I might receive events from the objects I'm subscribed to, as well as personal events, like invitations made by other players.

'''Participation'''

: Any player may comment on any object, rate any contribution, edit any wiki, create any issue, attach any object to any gallery, become a follower of any object.

'''Creation'''

'''Creation'''

: Any player may create a new Context by defining a name, the type of Context, and the Context objective(s). A Context's creator may invite other players to follow/contribute to his Context.

Any particular Resource, i.e., contributions of some Players, might be rated by another Players. The Reputation of a particular Player depends on how other Players appreciate him or his contributions.

Based on tracking of [[#Events|Events]], it is possible to [[#Understanding|measure]] a particular Player's behaviour. This might be useful, e.g., for researchers.

== Contexts ==

== Contexts ==

In the Sugar Network, Contexts are the classes of content or software that include with them assumptions on how they may be shared or used.  A Context describes how Players behave with Resources. A Context represents the Behavior or set of Behaviors that are supported for associated Resources.

There is a predefined general Context, the Global Context, which contains all other Contexts (according to the current [[#Network_Zoom|zoom level]]). Thus, Players can interact with all Resources accessible on this [[#Network_Zoom|zoom level]].

If some Resource has been changed, e.g., as a result of Player interacting, Resource sends global notifications. These notification might be seen while investigating this particular object or by Following this Resource. In the last case, events will go to followers' queue of global events.
