This paper describes the ideas behind a peer-to-peer multiagent system based on a new knowledge model in which ontological concepts are extended with organisational information to record the social situation in which they were learned and used. Agents can now reason about concept usage and privacy in terms of organisational entities, paving the way to reason about social roles of contacts that belong to personal social networks, in open internet communities. We depart from a specific organisation model, MOISE+, briefly presented here.
