Making Web2.0 for science: Co-production of Web2.0 platforms and knowledgeJames Stewart
This paper examines how two contrasting scholarly publishers are responding to the opportunities and challenges of Web 2.0 to innovate their services. Our findings highlight the need to take seriously the role of publishers in the move towards a vision of more rapid and open scholarly communication and to understand the factors that shape their role as intermediaries in the innovation pathways that may be needed to achieve it.
Making the concept of Web2.0 researchable: Web2.0 and Scholarly communicationJames Stewart
This document discusses how Web 2.0 technologies and practices relate to scholarly communication. It defines Web 2.0 as emphasizing user-generated content, data sharing, and collaboration using social software. While many scholarly communication practices resemble Web 2.0, some forms are outdated. The document examines factors shaping Web 2.0 adoption in academia like ownership and disciplinary differences, and outlines approaches to studying its impact like science studies and innovation studies.
This document provides a brief history of virtual communities and technologies from 1975 to the present. It discusses early technologies like MUDs and BBSs in the 1970s-80s and the rise of anonymity and avatars online. It then covers research from the 1990s on virtual identity, communities, and the effects of online interaction on social capital and participation. The document outlines concerns about online dangers, relationships, and privacy as internet use increased in the 2000s. Finally, it discusses implications for social research methods in studying virtual spaces and interactions as they become normalized parts of everyday life and society.

Summary of location-based methods for Place Ma(r)king WorkshopJames Stewart
The document discusses place, location, branding, and tagging. It provides lists of ways to make and know a place and location, such as through living in, visiting, designing, or mapping a location. It also discusses using GPS coordinates, images, or audio to identify location. The document then discusses using tags to label and brand places in real space or on maps, as well as using tags to direct attention, link memories and information, and emerge from crowds in a bottom-up way. It provides some examples of GPS-based art, games and community projects that involve place-making.
Cloud to crowd talk to COST Virtual work Bucharest 2014James Stewart
This document summarizes a presentation on online work exchanges and their present and future role in the network economy. It discusses how such exchanges provide new ways for people to find work and for clients to find workers. While often criticized as enabling "free labor," the presentation argues they provide opportunities for flexible employment. Potential policy areas impacted are identified as employment, skills, entrepreneurship, social policy and international development. Challenges discussed include how to support workers and platforms while addressing issues like insecure work. Overall the presentation explores both the opportunities and challenges of online work exchanges in redefining how people are employed and work gets done.
This document presents an architectural portfolio of projects designed by Saskia Prisandhini Tjokro. It includes 10 projects ranging from commercial to residential designs located in Indonesia and other countries. The projects showcase Saskia's skills in interior design, architecture, and urban planning using sustainable concepts. Materials used include wood, steel, and glass. Renderings and diagrams are provided to illustrate design concepts and plans.

ICT-enabled services for carers and care: pathways and actors in the developm...James Stewart
This document describes a research project conducted by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) to map and analyze initiatives using information and communication technologies (ICTs) to support long-term care for the elderly and their informal carers across 12 European countries. The research identified 52 initiatives utilizing various forms of ICT, including telecare, online training, and social networking. The initiatives provided services such as emergency response, care coordination, information and learning resources, and ways to increase social support and integration for both the elderly and their carers. The research assessed the impact of the initiatives on care quality and efficiency as well as the lives of those involved.
The document discusses the role of academic publishers as potential innovation intermediaries in bringing Web 2.0 technologies and practices to scholarly communication. It notes that publishers currently play an established intermediary role but may not be well-suited to drive innovation, while new intermediaries like conferences and repositories are emerging. The document reports on a survey of scholars' adoption of Web 2.0 tools, finding early adopters but also concerns about careers and quality. It argues intermediaries in scholarly communication facilitate but also maintain infrastructure and standards, and influence innovation through activities like workshops and funding rules.
