"'Tis true. There's magic in the Web: The Short and the Long of Co-Creation, Web Science, and Data Driven Innovation". Keynote for the DATA-DRIVEN INNOVATION WORKSHOP 2016 collocated with ACM Web Science 2016, Hannover, Germany, Sunday 22 May 2016
Keynote talk for NCRM Stream Analytics workshop, 19 January 2017, Manchester.
My talk is called "New and Emerging Forms of Data: Past, Present, and Future” and I will be giving a perspective from my role as one of the ESRC Strategic Advisers for Data Resources, in which I was responsible for new and emerging forms of data and realtime analytics. The talk also includes some of the current work in the Oxford e-Research Centre on Social Machines (the SOCIAM project) and an introduction to the PETRAS Internet of Things project.
The talk raises a number of important issues looking ahead, including massive scale of data that is already being supplied by Internet of Things, the implications of automation in our research, reproducibility and confidence in research results. I will also ask, how can the new forms of data and new research methods enable social scientists to work in new ways, and can we move on from the dependence on the traditional investment in longitudinal studies?

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.

Angular Remote Conf - Building with Angular & WordPressRoy Sivan
WordPress is a great solution as a CMS, especially when working with a content creation team filled with non-developer content creators. Leveraging the WordPress REST API and AngularJS the sky is the limit on what you can build with that content. From Single Page Applications, to mobile apps, Angular and WordPress are a good match. I will run through some basics of the WordPress REST API, some potential use cases for what you can build with Angular, and why it is important for WordPress as a platform moving into the future.
Learn what it looks like to work with a team of developers and have advanced workflows that include dependency management, task runners, pre-commit hooks, automated testing, code review, multiple environments, build systems and automated deployments. We'll cover the high level concepts and reasoning behind each, as well as the tools available and how they can all work together.

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.

Keynote on "Social Machines: Democratisation, Disintermediation, and Citizens at Scale" presented at the Web Science and Big Data Analytics Conference on Information Transparency and Digital Democracy, Tuesday, 25th August 2015, Jakarta Indonesia
Many experts say the rise of embedded and wearable computing will bring the next revolution in digital technology. They say the upsides are enhanced health, convenience, productivity, safety, and more useful information for people/organizations. The downsides: challenges to personal privacy, over-hyped expectations, and boggling tech complexity. Lee Rainie shares the latest research from Pew about libraries and puts it into context with the expanding Internet of Things.

Despite many attempts to perturb a scholarly publishing system that is over 350 years old, it feels pretty much like business as usual. I argue that we have become trapped inside the machine, and if we want to change it in an informed way we need to step outside and take a look. First I describe my lens—what I mean by a social machine, and the scholarly social machines ecosystem.
I close with a list of questions that could be workshop discussion points. Presented at the ESWC 2017 Workshop on Enabling Decentralised Scholarly Communication, Portorož - Portorose, May 2017.

Experimental Humanities: An Adventure with Lovelace and BabbageDavid De Roure
"Experimental Humanities: An Adventure with Lovelace and Babbage" by David De Roure and Pip Willcox, University of Oxford. Paper presentation at 13th IEEE eScience Conference, Auckland, New Zealand, 25 October 2017.
Abstract: "The development and innovative application of digital research methods in humanities disciplines, characterised as Digital Humanities or e-Humanities, is an established feature of the e-Science and e-Research landscape. Typically these digital methods enable existing research questions to be tackled in new ways, at a scale and speed that transcend manual methods. In this paper we present a different approach to the application of digital techniques to humanities research, a branch of experimental humanities in which digital experiments bring insight and engagement with historical scenarios and in turn influence our understanding and our thinking today. We illustrate this through a series of experiments and demonstrations inspired by the work of Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage, including simulation of the Analytical Engine, use of a web-based music application, construction of hardware, and reproduction of earlier mathematical results using contemporary computational methods."

Towards Web-Scale Analysis of Musical Structure David De Roure
SALAMI (Structural Analysis of Large Amounts of Music Information) is an ambitious computational musicology project which applies a computational approach to the huge volume of digital recordings now available from such sources as the Internet Archive. It aims to deliver a very substantive corpus of musical analyses in a common framework for use by music scholars, students and beyond, and to establish a web-based methodology and tooling which will enable others to add to this in the future. In its first phase the project has conducted a significant exercise in ground truth collection with 1000 recordings analysed by music students and shortly to be published as open Linked Data.
The Evolution of e-Research: Machines, Methods and MusicDavid De Roure
David De Roure's Inaugural Lecture on 28th October at Oxford e-Research Centre, University of Oxford, UK
10 years ago we saw a few early adopters of e-Science technology; now we see acceleration of research through broader adoption and sharing of tools, techniques and artefacts, both for 'big science' and the 'long tail scientist'.
Will this incremental trend continue or are we seeing glimpses of a phase change ahead, where researchers harness these emerging digital capabilities to address research questions in ways that simply were not possible before?
This talk will describe three generations of e-Research, using the myExperiment social website as a lens to glimpse future research practice, and focusing on a web-scale computational musicology project as an illustration of 3rd generation thinking.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

Short and Long of Data Driven Innovation
1. David De Roure
@dder
'Tis true. There's magic in the Web:
The Short and the Long of Co-Creation,
Web Science, and Data Driven Innovation
DIRECTOR, UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD E-RESEARCH CENTRE
2. Co-creation flourishes in the Web ecosystem, where
the affordances of the digital bring a new scale of citizen
participation and a new empowerment of the ingenious
human.
As we enter the era of the Internet of Things we
anticipate new opportunities to realise the economic
value of data. But what will happen when data supply
massively outstrips demand, and as innovative data
use is inevitably coupled with increasing
automation?
This talk will take a long view of co-creation, Web
Science, and data driven innovation (roughly from 1600
to 2050).
3. 1. The Long View. Is open innovation really something
new, or are we just undoing the damage of the last
century? I will demonstrate that co-creation (and even
social machines) have been with us for at least 400 years
(I’ll kick off in 1600s with Shakespeare and Royal
Society…) which will put the Web in context and I’ll talk
about mode 1, 2, 3 research.
14. 2. Web Science and the digital economy of the
Internet of Things. A glance forward. I’ll focus
on realising the value of data in IoT through a Web
Science lens, and I'll raise the empowerment of
machines as well as humans (AI, computational
creativity, …)

▶ Satellite and aerial imagery (eg

20. A rehearsal for the future
▶ The Internet of Things
describes a world in which
everyday objects are
connected to a network so that
data can be shared
▶ But it is really as much about
people as the inanimate object
▶ It is impossible to anticipate
all the social changes that
could be created by connecting
billions of devices

What happens to our ecosystem with increasing data supply?
30. 3. Future history. When we look back on this
period, what will we see? Is this where we
made the decisions that led to a utopian
future, or the origins of dystopia? How did
web science inform this moment?
32. It is 2050, and Europe and its knowledge economy are
competitive. Clusters of well-funded, internationally
renowned universities are thriving in many of Europe’s
important and growing cities, in strong partnerships
with regional institutions…
Meanwhile, automation and data-intensive science have
changed the nature of doing research. We have moved
from open science to radical open access: all kinds of
new actors are rushing into the research game,
especially in astronomy, ecology, climate and other fields
that attract strong public interest. Europe’s research
infrastructures are the new cathedrals of this science:
Open to all, supported by all.
33. It is 2050, and Europe is a victim of megatrends beyond its
control. Automation and globalisation have triggered mass
unemployment, social exclusion, discontent. Service bots,
machine learning, ubiquitous sensing – what’s left for the
humans to do? Inequality is higher than ever; new creative
jobs are constantly evolving from new technologies, but
they are only for the skilled few.
…the top-cited scientists are in hot demand – often hired
by multinationals in a kind of perpetual ‘consultancy
without borders.’ These companies, on which public labs
and universities rely for major funding, get early access to
the real discoveries and use their influence to steer the
remaining public funds towards their projects… Europe’s
economic base has hollowed out, and the few innovators its
universities produce quickly move abroad.
34. 1. The Long View. Is mode 2 really something new, or
are we just undoing the damage of the last two
centuries? Co-creation (and social machines) have been
with us forever. We need a new definition of the
paradigm shift.
2. Web Science and the digital economy of the
Internet of Things. Web Science is poistioned to co-
create the tools and methods to understand data driven
innovation. We need to address ethics of data use in the
face of increasing supply, and the ethics of automation.
3. Future history. When we look back on this period,
what shall we see? Is this where we made the decisions
that led to a utopian future, or the origins of
dystopia? How does Web Science inform this moment?
Is it a discipline or a political campaign?
