Rapport 1: Normkreativ krisberedskap : Ett forskningsprojekt med syftet att utveckla metoder som stärker allmänhetens beredskap inför och hantering av samhällskriser såsom pandemier
2021
Reports (other academic/artistic) abstract
Den här forskningsrapporten presenterar resultatet av en förstudie som genomförts inom ramen för projektet Normkreativ krisberedskap. Studien genomfördes under 2020–2021 med syftet att identifiera kommunikationsutmaningar under Covid-19-pandemin (och andra kriser) och inom vilka fält vi behöver utveckla ytterligare metoder för att kommunicera med invånarna för att få dem att ta till sig och agera utifrån krisinformationen. En tidigare genomförd pilotstudie visade på att det finns grupper i samhället som är svårare att nå ut till och kommunicera med, såsom ungdomar och unga vuxna samt personer med olika former av funktionsnedsättningar som är beroende av extra stöd och hjälp utifall en krissituation uppstår. För att uppnå en god krisberedskap är det viktigt att alla människor i ett samhälle är inkluderade och delaktiga och att kriskommunikation är utformad på ett sådant sätt att alla förstår hur den ska tolkas och förstår hur rekommendationer kan anpassas till deras livssituationer.

En studie om att leda digitala transformationer i komplexa verksamheter : Institutionella normer, fysiska rum och digitala verktyg
2021
Reports (other academic/artistic) abstract
Föreliggande rapport sammanfattar forskningsprojektet “Att leda digital transformation av fysiska rum” som genomförts av forskare vid Uppsala universitet i samverkan med tre partnerorganisationer: Uppsala stadsteater, Svenska Kyrkan, och en nordeuropeisk finanskoncern med huvudkontor i Sverige; projektet samfinansierades av Vinnova under åren 2019-2020. Projektets syfte var att utveckla kunskap om, och verktyg för förståelse av, hur det fysiska rummet och dess digitalisering påverkar interaktionen mellan aktörer bland annat med avseende på kommunikation, tillit och legitimitet. Projektet har genomförts som en komparativ studie av dessa tre tämligen skilda organisationer, som kommit olika långt i relation till digital transformation av deras respektive verksamheter. Forskarna har genomfört intervjuer och observationer på de tre partnerorganisationerna samt gemensamma och organisations-överskridande diskussioner och analyser vid ett flertal workshoppar, där såväl forskare som representanter från partnerorganisationerna deltagit. Rapporten presenterar resultat i form av beskrivningar av specifika situationer i respektive partnerorganisation med betoning på digitaliseringsprocesser med direkt inverkan på det fysiska rummet och de utmaningar som detta leder till. Vidare presenteras analyser och insikter i relation till utmaningarna som digitaliseringen kan ge upphov till och generella, normativa rekommendationer för att vägleda organisationer genom digitala transformationsprocesser. I analysen har framför allt institutionella logiker tillämpats som teoretiskt perspektiv. Studien påvisar betydelsen som de fysiska platserna (t.ex. kontor, scen) utgör för skilda verksamheter, och att användningen av digitala verktyg med syfte att eliminera användningen av fysiska platser kan ge upphov till oförutsedda konsekvenser.

NAMAs and INDCs : Interactions and opportunities
2015
Reports (other academic/artistic) abstract
Countries representing more than 90 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and population have submitted intendednationally determined contributions (INDCs) in anticipation of the 21st COP in Paris. In parallel, developing countries are designing at least 152 nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs) and 13 have secured implementation funding. Connecting these two concepts, more than a third of developing countries communicate a role for NAMAs in their INDCs. It is therefore vital to understand the potential role of NAMAs (here understood as specific actions) with respect to INDCs (which are often broader targets) and vice versa. This paper explores the links between NAMAs and INDCs with regard to various elements central to their implementation, including: access to finance; stakeholder engagement; sustainable development impacts; measurement, reporting and verification (MRV); and institutional frameworks.To avoid delaying mitigation action any further, it is important to keep momentum behind NAMAs. They represent one of the few tools at our disposal for countries to undertake mitigation actions, be recognised for these efforts, and mobilise climate finance and investment. The skills and learning on NAMA development can be seen more fundamentally as capacity for the design of bottom-up actions. Attention should be paid now to ensure that this capacity is maintained in the future. To do this, continued attention must be paid to NAMAs in Paris, as a key implementation tool for INDCs and, therefore, a key element of the success of a new global climate agreement.

Deliverable 4.5: Context-aware Content Interpretation
2016
Reports (peer-reviewed) abstract
The current deliverable summarises the work conducted within task T4.5 of WP4, presenting our proposed approaches for contextualised content interpretation, aimed at gaining insightful contextualised views on content semantics. This is achieved through the adoption of appropriate context-aware semantic models developed within the project, and via enriching the semantic descriptions with background knowledge, deriving thus higher level contextualised content interpretations that are closer to human perception and appraisal needs. More specifically, the main contributions of the deliverable are the following: A theoretical framework using physics as a metaphor to develop different models of evolving semantic content. A set of proof-of-concept models for semantic drifts due to field dynamics, introducing two methods to identify quantum-like (QL) patterns in evolving information searching behaviour, and a QL model akin to particle-wave duality for semantic content classification. Integration of two specific tools, Somoclu for drift detection and Ncpol2spda for entanglement detection. An “energetic” hypothesis accounting for contextualized evolving semantic structures over time. A proposed semantic interpretation framework, integrating (a) an ontological inference scheme based on Description Logics (DL), (b) a rule-based reasoning layer built on SPARQL Inference Notation (SPIN), (c) an uncertainty management framework based on non-monotonic logics. A novel scheme for contextualized reasoning on semantic drift, based on LRM dependencies and OWL’s punning mechanism. An implementation of SPIN rules for policy and ecosystem change management, with the adoption of LRM preconditions and impacts. Specific use case scenarios demonstrate the context under development and the efficiency of the approach. Respective open-source implementations and experimental results that validate all the above.All these contributions are tightly interlinked with the other PERICLES work packages: WP2 supplies the use cases and sample datasets for validating our proposed approaches, WP3 provides the models (LRM and Digital Ecosystem models) that form the basis for our semantic representations of content and context, WP5 provides the practical application of the technologies developed to preservation processes, while the tools and algorithms presented in this deliverable can be deployed in combination with test scenarios, which will be part of the WP6 test beds.

PERICLES Deliverable 4.4: Modelling Contextualised Semantics
2016
Reports (peer-reviewed) abstract
The current deliverable summarises the work conducted within task T4.4 of WP4, presenting our proposed models for semantically representing digital content and its respective context – the latter refers to any information coming from the environment of the digital object (DO) that offers a better insight into the object’s status, its interrelationships with other content items and information about the object’s context of use. Within PERICLES, we refer to the content semantics enriched with the contextual perspective as “contextualised semantics”. The deliverable presents two complementary modelling approaches, based respectively on (a) ontologies and logics, and, (b) multivariate statistics.

PERICLES Deliverable 4.3: Content Semantics and Use Context Analysis Techniques
2016
Reports (peer-reviewed) abstract
The current deliverable summarises the work conducted within task T4.3 of WP4, focusing on the extraction and the subsequent analysis of semantic information from digital content, which is imperative for its preservability. More specifically, the deliverable defines content semantic information from a visual and textual perspective, explains how this information can be exploited in long-term digital preservation and proposes novel approaches for extracting this information in a scalable manner. Additionally, the deliverable discusses novel techniques for retrieving and analysing the context of use of digital objects. Although this topic has not been extensively studied by existing literature, we believe use context is vital in augmenting the semantic information and maintaining the usability and preservability of the digital objects, as well as their ability to be accurately interpreted as initially intended.

Decolonizing Ethnographic Databases: A Case Study of Data Migration from the Swedish National Museum of World Culture’s Carlotta to the Open-Source Software Tainacan
2022
Reports (other academic/artistic) abstract
The report discusses the historical process of building the database currently used by the Swedish National Museums of World Culture (SMVK) in Sweden, called Carlotta. It examines its trajectory and the current problems these museums have been facing to carry out new types of work of documentation and decolonisation of the database. The report then brings focus to the process of extracting and migrating data from Carlotta to a free open-source software called Tainacan, concentrating on a pilot project on the collections of the Amazonian Indigenous group Wai Wai deposited at the SMVK. The results point to new possibilities of use and reuse of information and new possibilities to develop strategies of shared curatorship with the Wai Wai themselves. The report ends by discussing the first results obtained with this initial experiment and raises research questions that need to be deepened in further and more structured stages of the project.
