Method and collaboration system
First Claim
1. A method for valuating at least one collaborative content contribution to collective work relating to a collaborative multimedia work, the at least one contribution being performed by one or more contributors on a contributor computer system connected via a network to a collaboration platform computer architecture, the method comprising steps of:
- defining, by the collaboration platform computer architecture, a list of a plurality of different usefulness indicators stored for access by the collaboration platform computer architecture, the usefulness indicators of the list being different measurable quantities that quantifies a usefulness of the at least one collaborative content contribution;
collecting, at the collaboration platform computer architecture, usefulness indicators from the list of the plurality of different usefulness indicators for each collaborative content contribution of the at least one collaborative content contribution to the collective work, the usefulness indicators being received from the contributor computer system;
calculating by the collaboration platform computer architecture the usefulness value for each collaborative content contribution of the at least one collaborative content contribution to the collective work according to the at least one usefulness indicators collected for each collaborative content contribution and storing the usefulness values for access by the collaboration platform computer architecture;
associating, by the collaboration platform computer architecture, with each collaborative content contribution of the at least one collaborative content contribution to the collective work a compensation value according to the usefulness value of each contribution and storing the compensation value for access by the collaboration platform computer architecture.

Abstract
A method and collaboration system for determining the usefulness value of different contributions to the creation of a collective work produced by different contributors in a collaborative work platform is described. The value of each contribution is determined according to usefulness indicators that respectively characterize the contribution itself, the specific data that it provides to the collective work, the work thus produced and the contributor, and, according to valuation parameters (set of numeric constants, mathematical functions and algorithms) mutually defined by a manager of the system and the contributors. These usefulness indicators are collected periodically during the development and life of the work, and their variation over time may cause the usefulness value of contributions to vary. The determination of the usefulness value of each contribution is intended to calculate the individual compensation for contributors in the production of the work.

10. A collaboration system for enabling a plurality of contributors having contributor computer systems connected to a collaboration platform computer architecture via a network to achieve at least one collective work by performing at least one contribution and transmitting said at least one contribution from a respective contributor computer system to the collaboration platform computer architecture, the collaboration system comprising:
the collaboration platform computer architecture for valuating the at least one contribution to the collective work, the collaboration platform computer architecture comprising one or more processors tied to memory, wherein; the one or more processors are configured to define a list of a plurality of different usefulness indicators stored in the memory for access by the collaboration platform computer architecture, the usefulness indicators of the list being different measurable quantities that quantifies a usefulness of the at least one collaborative content contribution; the one or more processors are configured to collect usefulness indicators from the list of the plurality of different usefulness indicators for each collaborative content contribution of the at least one collaborative content contribution to the collective work, the usefulness indicators being received from the contributor computer system; the one or more processors are configured to calculate the usefulness value for each collaborative content contribution of the at least one collaborative content contribution to the collective work according to the at least one usefulness indicators collected for each collaborative content contribution and storing in the memory the usefulness values for access by the collaboration platform computer architecture; the one or more processors are configured to associate, with each collaborative content contribution of the at least one collaborative content contribution to the collective work a compensation value according to the usefulness value of each contribution and storing the compensation value in the memory for access by the collaboration platform computer architecture. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
