Hello JesseRafe,

thx for the welcome message and useful links.

We are currently working on a taxonomy for Social and Solidarity Economy for 26 partners in 23 EU countries. It is very interesting, which viewpoints, national particularities, and understandings the contributors bring. Some of them are also reflected in misconceptions in Wikipedia. As we use Wikibase and also link to Wikipedia articles, that sometimes surfaces.

Foodcoop for example is a term used in Germany and Austria for groups, that collectively buy local organic food, mostly organized in the legal form of an association, basically it is an anglicism, that changed it´s meaning. Foodcoop in english ... is the legal form of a cooperative, and refers to chains of supermarkets, that formed as cooperative.

Sometimes difficult to maneuver and find the right terms, but we are getting there. Mutual organizations is the same. Mostly refered to insurance, even from the European Union, but from the general concept much broader, than the specific case of the Mutual Insurance, even as the segment of Mutual Insurance has by far the biggest turnover and broad application (in numbers of members and application) in the whole area of Mutual Organizations. Basically the problem is a generalization of the most powerful segment within the whole.

At some point, I might find the time to contribute more, currently it is enough struggle to get our map to work propperly: https://susy-mapviewer.github.io/transformap-viewer and get the translations and taxonomic items in the background right: http://base.transformap.co/
