Aug 10, 2011 at 21:55 comment added Steve @Chris: try section 4.2 of "Koszul duality for Operads" by Ginzburg and Kapranov (arxiv.org/abs/0709.1228). The arXiv version doesn't seem to have any pictures though...
Aug 10, 2011 at 15:31 comment added Chris Heunen @Steve: 1) sounds fascinating! I've never heard of operad cohomology. Could you give some references?
Aug 9, 2011 at 18:24 comment added user6976 @Steve: Thank you! It is close to what I want, but perhaps not quite the same. Your 2) and 3) are still about where operads are used, not quite what makes them useful. Are they useful because the notion is so general that almost anything is an operad and then you can use the theory of operads to study these things (something like the notion of algebraic system in algebra)?
