A certain amount of disambiguation will be necessary here, particularly relative to the word [[region]], which is a general concept not to be confused with official administrative units such as the [[région française]], or the [[régions belges]], for instance. The [[région française]], as such, does not come up very often within our data, though its sub-unit, the [[département]], comes up quite a lot indeed. Various of these usages overlap internationally, and we are not sure how far we will have to go into disambiguation.
 
=== Formal geographically administrative units ===
 
The city in which an inventor is located is usually quite relevant, and is occasionally the only location data, with patents filed in Hungary and Germany, for instance, often giving this data, and only this data.
 
 
 
In terms of purely administrative technicality, the French or Belgian city will be called a “commune”. A location such as Courbevoie will be well within [[département]] [[Seine]], but not within the “commune” or city of Paris.
 
 
 
Presently, our page [[region]] is serving as somewhat of a disambiguation page, in terms of the interplay between formally administrative and general usage of various location terms.

=== [[Industrialization]] ===
 
==== [[Atelier]], [[workshop]], [[communities of practice]], [[apprenticeship]]s, [[working groups]], and [[groupe industriel]] ====
 
These are formalized patterns of cooperation, which we may track, and upon which there is literature. These are somewhat "social", and are very definitively proto-industrial.
 
=== [[Collaboration]] ===
 
The word "collaboration" presently gets 84 hits within our data, incidentally. Some of these pertain to collaborations between patent agents. In terms of inventors, we have only noted a fraction of them. We've missed some in the case of auto-links from [[Espacenet]], for instance, displaying only one inventor, with patent pages still needing to be fleshed out based upon examination of the originals. The word "collaboration" has been used when inventor pages have been created, and a consistent or sporadic collaboration between inventors has been described as appropriate.
 
 
 
Some of these are famous. Others may be tracked from within our data, and may prove to be of interest, whether in terms of the individual cases or when assessed as a patterned phenomenon.
 
 
 
=== [[Conference]]s ===
 
These are also key, in that they are documented, with much of their attendance being documented as well.
 
 
 
=== Documented examples of specific influence ===
 
 
 
EXAMPLE: Wels' exposure to the aircraft of the [[Wright Brothers]], which he saw in Paris, led to a split with Etrich over the question of whether to build a [[monoplane]] or [[biplane]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igo_Etrich</ref>
 
 
 
=== Correspondence between inventors ===
 
[[Letter]]s between inventors, or between an inventor and some other interested party, are of clear significance in that they explicate the direct exchange od ideas.

Introduction

We have begun assessing our aero-developmental data in terms of phenomena of the social network.

We have long documented as much location data as possible, for individual inventors as well as organizations. We have gathered corporate historical data as well as the involvement of individuals with organizations of all kinds. We have documented conferences, and we have documented correspondence between inventors.

We have been documenting all specific data, as precisely as possible, and we have drawn relation and context however and whenever possible. All of this has to do with innovation, and, gradually, industrialization.
