Collaboration Patterns as Building Blocks for Community Informatics

•

1 like•1,807 views

Community Informatics is a wide-ranging field of inquiry and practice, with many paradigms, disciplines, and perspectives intersecting. Community Informatics research and practice build on several methodological pillars: contexts/values, cases, process/methodology, and systems. Socio-technical patterns and pattern languages are the glue that help connect these pillars. Patterns define relatively stable solutions to recurring problems at the right level of abstraction, which means that they are concrete enough to be useful, while also sufficiently abstract to be reusable. The goal of this paper is to outline a practical approach to improve CI research and practice through collaboration patterns. This approach should help to strengthen the analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation of socio-technical community systems. The methodology is illustrated with examples from the ESSENCE (E-Science/Sensemaking/Climate Change) community.

This document presents a review of patterns in collaborative work. It begins with an introduction on the role of patterns in facilitating collaboration. It then provides an overview and surveys various pattern approaches relevant to collaboration, discussing their characteristics. The approaches are evaluated based on characteristics like their model, language, categorization, target users, and ability to support collaboration, interactions, knowledge, and be event-aware. The results argue for approaches that can directly assist participants in automatic ways and develop tools to proactively recommend corrective actions. It also discusses the Collaboration Patterns Assistant, which uses an ontological model to capture collaboration patterns and provide pattern recommendations and assistance to users.

Using Collaboration Patterms for Contextualizing Roles in Community Systems ...

CommunitySense

This document discusses using collaboration patterns to contextualize roles in community systems design. It notes the paradox of increased need for collaboration but also increased fragmentation. Roles are important for structuring social interaction, but are often overlooked in systems design. Collaboration patterns can help capture lessons learned about different role contexts to inform design and configuration of socio-technical systems. The document proposes developing pattern templates and ontologies for role development, with elicitation processes to connect to community practices and analysis procedures to enable emerging queries.

Creativity Meets Rationale - Collaboration Patterns for Social Innovation

CommunitySense

Collaborative communities require a wide range of face-to-face and online communication tools. Their socio-technical systems continuously grow, driven by evolving stakeholder requirements and newly available technologies. Designing tool systems that (continue to) match authentic community needs is not trivial. Collaboration patterns can help community members specify customized systems that capture their unique requirements, while reusing lessons learnt by other communnities. Such patterns are an excellent example of combining the strengths of creativity and rationale. In this chapter, we explore the role that collaboration patterns can play in designing the socio-technical infrastructure for collaborative communities. We do so via a cross-case analysis of three Dutch social innovation communities simultaneously being set-up. Our goal with this case study is two-fold: (1) understanding what social innovation is from a socio-technical lens and (2) exploring how the rationale of collaboration patterns can be used to develop creative socio-technical solutions for working communities.

CommunitySense

Urban farming communities often consist of many disjoint initiatives, while having a strong need to overcome their fragmentation. Community mapping can help urban farmers make better sense of their collaboration. We describe a participatory community mapping approach being piloted in an urban farming community-building project in and around the city of Tilburg. The approach combines (1) a basic community mapping language, (2) a state of the art web-based community visualization tool, and (3) a participatory mapping process to support the community-building efforts. We outline the approach being developed and present initial results of applying it in the Tilburg case.

CommunitySense

Academic research is under threat from issues like a lack of resources, fraud, and societal isolation. Such issues weaken the academic research process, from the framing of research questions to the evaluation of impact. After (re)defining this process, we examine how the academic research community could be expanded using the Internet. We examine two existing science-society collaborations that focus on data collection and analysis and then proceed with a scenario that covers expanding research stages like research question framing, dissemination, and impact assessment.

Knowledge Sharing for Social Innovation: The Dutch Tilburg Regional Case

CommunitySense

Social innovation as a process is about multiple stakeholders working together on joint, economically and socially sustainable solutions for wicked societal problems. Social innovation both co-creates value for individual stakeholders involved, and contributes to the common good. It has been an important theme in the the Dutch city of Tilburg and the surrounding region of Midden-Brabant for years. A successful regional social innovation ecosystem exists. Knowledge sharing about the innovations remains a bottleneck, however. Two initiatives to increase regional social innovation knowledge sharing capacity are presented: the social innovation storytelling architecture and the Tilburg public library prototype KnowledgeCloud for catalyzing knowledge sharing across regional themes of interest.

Making Community Mapping Work: The Tilburg Urban Farming Community Case

CommunitySense

Society consists of a web of interconnected communities. A large body of research and practice exists on how to make communities work. Still, the intersection and interaction of multiple communities - the development and use of their inter-communal commons - is ill-understood. Social innovation is the process in which relevant stakeholders jointly develop solutions to wicked problems that none of them can solve on their own. As such, it is a prime example of the need for multiple stakeholder communities collaborating. We propose a process for building a networked community-commons called knowledge weaving. This is a reflective sensemaking effort in which existing communal knowledge sharing practices, initiatives, and resources are tied together into coherent commons-based knowledge fabrics that support intercommunal collaboration, such as for social innovation. We illustrate the approach with the case of the European Social Innovation Week 2015 pre-events.

This document discusses different terms used to describe distributed collaboration and crowdsourcing, including crowdsourcing, peer production, human computation, social computing, and citizen science. It examines the assumptions and implications behind these terms. Key questions include how well the terms fit what is being analyzed and the social and ethical implications of using the labels. Characteristics of different models are compared, such as labor markets, peer production, social movements, and computational systems. The conclusion is that the context cannot be escaped and the design of citizen humanities projects will be affected by how human endeavors are conceptualized and organized.

This document discusses using social systems design to improve the development of local public e-services. It argues that local governments have been left out of national e-government strategies and that a "designing within" approach where users are experts could help address unknown needs. This approach involves the user-designer, designing community composed of stakeholders, and developing a design culture. Possible ways forward include empirical studies of applying social systems design and building a design culture through resources from design professionals.

This document discusses capturing and representing deliberation in participatory planning practices. It explores using digital tools like Compendium, FM, and CoPe_it to capture deliberation across contexts and represent the planning process. The tools were tested in case studies, with positive feedback around their use for reflection, understanding contexts, and giving voice to communities. Challenges included potential discretion in classification and managing increasing information complexity. Future work aims to further engage the public and address issues of power in participatory planning processes.

The Meta-Design of Systems, Menichinelli + Valsecchi 2016

Massimo Menichinelli

The challenges posed by the complexity of our times requires the Design discipline to understand the many complex relationships behind the social, business, technology and territory dimensions of each project. Such nature of complex systems lays not only inside design projects, but also inside the design processes that generate them, and the ability of organizing them through meta-design approaches is becoming strategic. Since the turn of the century, the design discipline has increasingly moved its scope from single users to local and online communities, from isolated projects to system of solutions. This shift has brought researchers and practitioners to investigate tools and strategies to enable mass- scale interactions by adopting several models and tools coming from software development and web-based technologies: Open Source, P2P, DDD (Diffuse, Distributed, and Decentralized) systems. This influence has matured over the years, and if we observed in the past how such systemic models can be applied in the design practice (part 1), we are facing now a new phase where Design will have an increasing role in enabling such systems through the analysis, visualization and design of their collaborative tools, platforms, processes and organizations (part 2). This scope falls into the Meta-Design domain, where designers build environments for the collaborative design of open processes and their resulting organizations (part 3). In this paper, we address this phenomena by elaborating the Open Meta-Design framework (part 4), that provides a way for designing open, collaborative and distributed processes (including those in the professional design domain). The paper positions the framework among current meta-design and design approaches and develops its features of modeling, analysis, management and visualization of processes. This framework is based on four dimensions: conceptual (describing the philosophy, context and limitations of the approach), data (describing the ontology of design processes), design (visualizing designing processes) and software (managing the connections between the ontology and the visualization, the data and design dimensions). We believe that such a framework could potentially facilitate the participation and the creation of open, collaborative and distributed processes, enabling therefore more relevant interactions for communities. As a conclusion, the paper provides a roadmap for developing and testing the Open Meta-Design framework, and therefore evaluating its relevance in supporting complex projects (part 5).

Debruyne, C. and Vasquez, C. (2013) Exploiting Natural Language Definitions and (Legacy) Data for Facilitating Agreement Processes. In Proc. of Software Quality. Increasing Value in Software and Systems Development 2013 (SWQD 2013), LNBIP, Springer In IT, ontologies to enable semantic interoperability is only of the branches in which agreement between a heterogeneous group of stakeholders are of vital importance. As agreements are the result of interactions, appropriate methods should take into account the natural language used by the community. In this paper, we extend a method for reaching a consensus on a conceptualization within a community of stakeholders, exploiting the natural language communication between the stakeholders. We describe how agreements on informal and formal descriptions are complementary and interplay. To this end, we introduce, describe and motivate the nature of some of the agreements and the two distinct levels of commitment. We furthermore show how these commitments can be exploited to steer the agreement processes. Concepts introduced in this paper have been implemented in a tool for collaborative ontology engineering, called GOSPL, which can be also adopted for other purposes, e.g., the construction a lexicon for larger software projects.

Zach Friedman

This document discusses how the field of design is evolving from making physical objects to facilitating collaboration across disciplines through design thinking and design-led integration. It argues that designers can create new platforms and methods to enable stakeholders from different fields to work together effectively on complex problems. These design-led platforms and approaches will facilitate collaboration, simplify specialized knowledge, and develop new tools and frameworks to democratize expertise. The document envisions design taking a leadership role in integrating disciplines and facilitating application-based, empirical academic research on design-led approaches.

The document discusses using digital tools to visualize deliberation in participatory urban planning processes. It proposes capturing deliberation using Compendium, a hypermedia mapping tool, and integrating it with meeting annotation software (FM) and an online deliberation platform (CoPe_it!). This aims to make deliberation more transparent, coherent, and participatory. Three case studies tested this approach. Evaluation found it helped reconstruct deliberation and supported exploration, but classification of claims requires discretion. Overall, the tools show potential to give more voice to community members and reflect on planning processes.

Optimizing Social Software Design with Conceptual Graphs

CommunitySense

Collaborative communities are complex and rapidly evolving socio-technical systems. The design of these systems includes the communal specification of communication and information requirements, as well as the selection, configuration, and linking of the software tools that best satisfy these requirements. Supporting the effective and efficient community-driven design of such complex and dynamic systems is not trivial. To represent and reason about the system design specifications we use conceptual graph theory. We do so because the knowledge representation language of choice must be rich enough to allow the efficient expression of complex definitions. Also, since design specifications derive from complex real world domains and community members themselves are actively involved in specification processes, a close mapping of knowledge definitions to natural language expressions and vice versa is useful. Finally, the representation language must be sufficiently formal and constrained for powerful knowledge operations to be constructed. Conceptual graph theory has all of these properties. We explore how conceptual graphs can be used to: 1. model the core elements of such socio-technical systems and their design processes. 2. specify communication and information requirements and match these with social software functionalities. We illustrate these design processes with examples from a realistic scenario on building a knowledge-driven topic community on climate change.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024

Hiroshi SHIBATA

I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems. The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS. Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application. I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Collaboration Patterns as Building Blocks for Community Informatics

1. Collaboration Patterns as Building Blocks for Community Informatics CIRN Prato Conference - November 4, 2009 Aldo de Moor CommunitySense the Netherlands WWW.COMMUNITYSENSE.NL

2. Once upon a time...

3. ICTs 1993

4. ICTs 2009

5. Methodological pillars of CI

6. Common values

7. Socio-technical pattern languages • Patterns – relatively stable solutions to recurring problems at the right level of abstraction • Pattern languages – networks of patterns that call upon one another • Socio-technical pattern languages – broad description of interactions between social and technical systems • Open question: how to use them?

8. Community purpose patterns: Liberating Voices

9. Functionality usage patterns: Wikipatterns

10. Designing the socio-techn system: collaboration patterns

11. Sensemaking tools

12. Mission of ESSENCE • pilot software tools designed to help facilitate structured analysis and dialogue. • develop a comprehensive, distilled, visual map of the issues, evidence, arguments and options facing the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, and being tackled by many other networks, which will be available for all to explore and enrich across the web. • build a definitive, public collective intelligence resource on the climate change debate. • support dialogue that builds common ground, resolves conflict, and re-establishes trust • To enhance the ability of people worldwide to collaborate on solving global wicked problems.

13. ESSENCE socio-technical system Social system “climate change policy making” Mass-media Corporations Institutes Argument NGOs Journalists mapping Subject matter Governments experts Citizens ? Tool system

14. ESSENCE patterns • Community purpose patterns – Citizen Journalism • Wikipatterns – BarnRaising – Wiki Charter – Maintainer • Secretary • Refactorer • Solicitor • Architect

15. Collaboration patterns Capture socio-technical lessons learnt in optimizing the effectiveness and efficiency of collaboration processes Typology of collaboration patterns (De Moor, 2006) Goal patterns Community and individual objectives Information patterns Content plus responsible actors Communication patterns Desirable/acceptable interactions Task patterns Who/what/when/how? Meta-patterns Ensure quality of other patterns

16. A required information pattern

17. An enabled communication pattern

18. An "ecology of pattern languages” Community Purpose Pattern Languages Collaboration HCI Pattern Pattern Languages Languages Functionality Usage Pattern Languages Software Engineering Pattern Languages

19. Conclusion • CI is all about socio-technical systems • Pattern languages key to better analysis, design, implementation and evaluation of socio- technical systems • Collaboration patterns linking pin between community purpose and functionality usage patterns • Towards “ecologies of pattern languages” • Realizing our C&T potential
