Annotating Process arts

From ourplan.et: "The process arts include things such as facilitation, meditation, community organizing, nonviolent commmunication, open space and wiki"... A rather broad list that could include many things knowledge managers profess also, and listed as nonsense by the journal Information Research: continuous improvement, total quality management, etc. - perhaps best categorized as arts not as science or disciplines. Though they could be seen also as non-useful habits.

"Even more than a list of particular processes though, process arts is an awareness that however one is doing something, that is one particular way, and one could do it any number of other ways. (This is analogous to PerlLanguage's motto - There More Than One Way To Do It!)

This could apply to any field - cooking, sky-diving, coding, etc., but we use it primarily for human-human or human-self interactions ( psychology, sociology, mythology, politics, design, etc.). There are differences and similarities in patterns of process artistry across scales - intra-individual, couples & groups, families, neighborhoods, tribes, towns, cities, regions, continents, globally" - captured in part as living ontology patterns.
