    Unconference – Brasserie de MontbenonKnowTheFlow

    We are all nodes in a global supply chain network, yet a single node often knows little about where its input comes from and where its output goes. KnowTheFlow aims to combine this local knowledge into a shared directed graph – a mass collaboration project in which data is collected at different levels of specificity, refined and cross-linked.
