LinkAU Objectives:

To create an Internet-wide system that enables more efficient and effective knowledge sharing between people across institutional, geographic, and social boundaries.
To establish a form of persistent online identity that supports the public commons and the values of civil society.
To enhance the ability of citizens to form relationships and self-organize around shared interests in communities of practice to better engage in the process of democratic governance.

The core elements of the LinkAU's technical architecture are:

A form of user-controlled digital identity that is context-sensitive, enables personal recommendations and is built on open standards;
Interoperability between the networking community:
Brokering services that can connect individuals who share interests in a context-sensitive manner; and
Public interest matching technologies that enable effective Internet-wide searches.

"enhance the power of social networks by using interactive digital media to exploit the transitive nature of trust through the principle of six degrees of connection."
