Distroid qualifies as a CollabTech project because:

1. The Catalogue can empower collaboration at the intersection of technology and society by helping people find potential collaborators based on a person's work, the people and organizations a person has collaborated with, the works a person has cited or mentioned, or the topics a person has written on; and

2. The Sense-making Markers can serve as the foundation for any group that engages in collective sense-making processes (and broadly, collective intelligence processes), by turning raw data into actionable insights. The Sense-making Markers encourage collaboration by having individuals and groups come together to define their own sense-making markers (in effect, creating a controlled vocabulary) for their particular context(s), compliant with the sense-making marker data model, which can then be used to annotate (i.e., mark) and organize objects in their information environment (people, content, etc.), share these annotations with third party information systems that comply with the sense-making marker data model, and use the annotations to support any algorithm for distributing attention over objects in the information environment (e.g., a feed-ranking algorithm on a social media platform).
