Problem
The Planet methodology aims to engage multidisciplinary communities in a design-level discourse. In order to do that, such a community needs to first establish a shared vocabulary. This vocabulary should be rooted in the practices of the domain, and informed by the relevant bodies of theory.Context
Solution
| Participants work in groups of 3-5. First, provide each participant a few texts from their previous work, and ask them to highlight key terms using two colours, one for "assets", the other for "hazards". Assets are terms which they see as having a well-understood and agreed meaning, hazards are vague, contentious or provocative terms. |
|
| Next, participants need to agree on a common list of "assets" and "hazards", by writing them on two colours of post-it notes. Each post-it should have the term written on top and a definition below. |

| Having agreed on the list of concepts, the group moves on to mapping them, using coloured threads or markers to note links. |

| Finally, the group presents its map to other groups for discussion. |
