1. The document discusses using social media data and metadata for data visualization and analysis to identify patterns in public communication and cultural participation. 2. It provides examples of visualizations of individual Twitter user statistics, Twitter friend networks, the perspective of news sources like The Australian and The Sun based on blog data, and the geographic distribution of Last.fm users. 3. The document suggests that while there is currently more social media data than research ideas, data can be used to examine the diffusion of ideas, the spread of information across networks, and interconnections between different media through combined analysis and visualization.

Title: Sharing ideas and sharing data: Researchers and Web 2.0 Presenters: Lucy Power and Eric T. Meyer Abstract: In this presentation, two case studies will be used to illustrate the types of incentives and barrier researchers face when deciding to share ideas and data using Web 2.0 tools and resources. The first case, Friendfeed, is a tool used by life scientists to disseminate, filter and discuss research and professional issues and ideas. The second case is about geospatial map sharing, early efforts to share maps that were hindered by legal barriers, and recent successful efforts to change the law in a way that will enable much more sharing. In both of these cases, researchers had a number of similar incentives to share, but also barriers to doing so. Among the incentives were a desire for openness in science, the benefits of networks, advantages of scale, and the ability to share the effort it takes to filter complex ideas and data. Barriers to sharing, however, include cultural differences among fields and institutions, institutional and individual concerns about protecting intellectual property, and the challenge of changing research behaviours. In both cases, technological limitations were not a particular barrier to sharing, unlike some common perceptions of the challenges of engaging researchers with technology.

FIN Conference 2010: Libraries and Museums in Virtual Worlds. Title: Libraries and Museums in the Cloud When everything moves into the cloud, what will happen to our libraries and museums? We adapted to technological and social media influences by creating online collections, social communities and virtual tours, yet need to preserve our literary, artistic and historical collections. What value do we place on these remarkable repositories and the sensory experiences that they offer? Join us as we explore the future of libraries and museums within virtual and current venues.

Beyond Difference: Reconfiguring Education for the User-Led Age

Axel Bruns

Paper presented at the ICE3 conference, Loch Lomond, Scotland, 23 March 2007. For more information (including the full paper), see http://snurb.info/node/721. If produsage is an increasingly significant element of intellectual, economic, legal and political processes within society, then educational institutions must pay more attention to developing produser capabilities in their graduates – focussing on learners’ collaborative, creative, critical, and communicative capabilities (or C4C, for short). Indeed, they must lead by example and base more of their teaching and learning frameworks on produsage models. Social constructivist approaches to education already call for a greater role for learners in the educational process, but even pedagogies based on this framework often still retain a strong role for the teacher, and standard tertiary education practices continue to allow for innovation only within the confines of otherwise persistent and immutable institutional structures. Beyond this, however, there is a potential for more wide-ranging changes which reposition learners as co-produsers not only of knowledge, but also of course and institutional structures. Applying a systematic understanding of current cyberspace trends towards produsage in Web2.0 environments to tertiary teaching practice in the ‘real world’, this paper outlines potential avenues for such pedagogical approaches, and investigates the extent to which they address the needs of what Trendwatching.com describes as ‘Generation C’.

Social Machines Paradigm

David De Roure

Keynote talk at the Web Science Summer School, Singapore, 8 December 2014. Today we see the rise of Social Machines, like Twitter, Wikipedia and Galaxy Zoo—where communities identify and solve their own problems, harnessing commitment, local knowledge and embedded skills, without having to rely on experts or governments. The Social Machines paradigm provides a lens onto the interacting sociotechnical systems of our hybrid digital-physical world, citizen-centric and at scale—emphasising empowerment and sociality in a world of pervasive technology adoption and automation. This talk will present the Social Machines paradigm as an approach to social media analytics and a rethinking of our scholarly practices and knowledge infrastructure.

Scholarship in the Digital World

David De Roure

Seminar at CSAIL, MIT, Cambridge, Mass. Date: Friday October 30, 2015. Time: 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm, Location: D463 (Star) Abstract: Today we are witnessing several shifts in scholarly practice, in and across multiple disciplines, as researchers embrace digital techniques to tackle established research questions in new ways and new questions afforded by digital and digitized collections, approaches, and technologies. Pervasive adoption of technology, coupled with the co-creation of new social processes, has created a new and complex space for scholarship where citizens both generate and analyse data as they interact at the intersection of the physical and digital. Drawing on a background in distributed computing, and adopting the lens of Social Machines, this talk discusses current activity in digital scholarship, framing it in its interdisciplinary settings. Bio: David De Roure is Professor of e-Research at University of Oxford, Director of the Oxford e-Research Centre, and chairs Oxford’s Digital Humanities research programme. He previously directed the Digital Social Research programme for the UK Economic and Social Research Council, and serves as a strategic advisor in new forms of data and realtime analytics. Trained in electronics and computer science, his career has involved interdisciplinary collaborations in chemistry, astrophysics, bioinformatics, social computing, digital libraries, and sensor networks. His personal research is in Computational Musicology, Web Science, and Internet of Things. He is a frequent speaker and writer on digital research and the future of scholarly communications.
