Transformation or Continuity? The Impact of Social Media on Information : Implications for Theory and Practice
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 75th ASIS&T Annual Meeting: Information, Interaction, Innovation, vol. 49. - Silver Springs, MD : American Society for Information Science and Technology. ; 49:1
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This panel debates whether the ways in which social media are changing the nature, creation, seeking, use and sharing of information constitute a transformation or are primarily marked by continuity. Ubiquitous and everyday access to social media (for some) seems to be bringing about changes in social practice, including of information-related activities, such that conceptualisations of information itself are potentially reshaped. Discussants draw inspiration from the pervasive impact on information activities of the everyday adoption of social media. At a theoretical level they also draw inspiration from the analytic resources of contemporary practice theory and its emphasis on materiality and embodiment, routine and change, social expectations and social identity, and knowledge as a process. All the participants of the panel have conducted new empirical research on social media use with a focus on its deep as well as broad impact. The audience members are invited to discuss with the panelists questions such as how social media relate to routinised daily practices and institutionalised practices and hierarchies, how their use refashions social relationships, how they turn information seekers and users into information managers, producers and creators and shape perceptions of information authority and trustworthiness, and how a new theorisation can help librarians, information professionals and researchers understand change and assume a proactive role in it.

Making research data possible : negotiating between disciplinary cultures, temporalities, data policies, professional interests and education and training
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 79th ASIS&T Annual Meeting. - : International Association of Computer Science and Information Technology Press. ; 53:1, s. 1-4
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The workshop brings together differing perspectives on what makes research data possible. How data is made represents an on-going negotiation between a number of elements. It reflects, firstly, the nature of disciplines and the complex way this is linked to cultures of research data and data sharing. Secondly, data is made across the complex temporalities within different practices of its management. Thirdly, it increasingly reflects the influences of data policies: working at the international and national, down to institutional level. Fourthly, it is also shaped by the renegotiation of professional interests and relationships such as between librarians, computing services, archivists and research administrators. And, fifthly, data is being shaped within models of education and training of current and new information professionals. The panel seeks to bring together a diverse range of participants to explore appropriate theories and methodologies for work in this field, using a conversation cafe format, and based on discussions around the five elements.

The materiality of encyclopedic information : Remediating a loved one – Mourning Britannica
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology. - : Wiley. - 0044-7870. ; 51:1
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper presents a qualitative thematic analysis of reader comments posted in connection to a series of articles published after Encyclopaedia Britannica’s announcement to forego its print edition. It shows how ideas of what information is, are entangled with ideas of what a certain medium is and does. Two research questions guide the analysis: 1) How are encyclopedias as information sources imagined in contemporary public discourse? 2) How does the materiality of encyclopedias shape ideas of knowledge, information and memory? A theoretical basis is the distinction between an epistemological discourse and a practice discourse of science as proposed by Bernd Frohmann. Furthermore, the concept of remediation as developed by Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin is drawn on. The analysis maps out different functions encyclopedias as information sources and external memories are assigned in contemporary society and in the recent past. It shows how these functions go into one another and how they are entangled with certain social practices. Through this it makes visible how understandings of information at a personal level are entwined with ideas of materiality,technologies, and culture that are formed in conjuncture with larger historical and societal shifts.

Archaeological perspectives in information science
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the ASIS annual meeting. - Hoboken, NJ : Wiley. - 0044-7870. ; 54:1, s. 570-573

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Archaeology is a domain that has intersections with information science and technology research both as an empirical domain of investigation and as a perspective to inquire into how people interact with information. The aim of this panel is to highlight this interdisciplinary nexus of diverse engagements and to explicate how archaeology has informed and could inform information science research and practice in the future, and how empirical information science research on archaeological practices has enhanced our understanding of both archaeological work and human information behavior and practices in general.

Knowledge Map of Information Science: Implications for the Future of the Field
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Brazilian Journal of Information Science. - : Wiley. - 1981-1640. ; 1:1, s. 3-29
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This collective paper incorporates eleven position papers on implications of the "Knowledge Map of Information Science,” a Critical Delphi study conducted in 2003-2005 and published as a series of four articles (ZINS, 2007 a, b, c, d). The Delphi study captured the deliberations of 57 leading information science scholars from 16 countries to provide (1) definitions of the fundamental concepts of data, information knowledge and message, (2) alternative conceptions of the broad information science domain, (3) different classificatory mappings of the field, and (4) comprehensive mappings of information science. Overall, the Knowledge Map provides an early 21st century snapshot of the field that should help guide future research, educational programming, publishing, and other professional and scholarly thrusts. Future information science mapping research should be done periodically, including additional Delphi studies and assessments of the degree of the field’s expansion and probable division into sub-fields. Alternative methodologies for mapping the expanding information science universe and its synergies with other fields of knowledge should also be explored.

Optimal Correspondences from Pairwise Constraints
- 2009

- Correspondence problems are of great importance in computer vision. They appear as subtasks in many applications such as object recognition, merging partial 3D reconstructions and image alignment. Automatically matching features from appearance only is difficult and errors are frequent. Thus, it is necessary to use geometric consistency to remove incorrect correspondences. Typically heuristic methods like RANSAC or EM-like algorithms are used, but they risk getting trapped in local optima and are in no way guaranteed to find the best solution. This paper illustrates how pairwise constraints in combination with graph methods can be used to efficiently find optimal correspondences. These ideas are implemented on two basic geometric problems, 3D-3D registration and 2D-3D registration. The developed scheme can handle large rates of outliers and cope with multiple hypotheses. Despite the combinatorial explosion, the resulting algorithm which has been extensively evaluated on real data, yields competitive running times compared to state of the art

Prevalence and risk factors for overweight horses at premises in Sweden assessed using official animal welfare control data
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0044-605X .- 1751-0147. ; 58

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: There are Swedish animal welfare regulations concerning the body condition of horses and general advice on keeping horses including that horses should be fed so that they do not become over- or underweight relative to their use. Compliance is assessed by official animal welfare inspectors. The objective of this study was to determine whether the national animal welfare control database could be used to estimate the prevalence and risk factors for overweight horses in Sweden. The official animal welfare control checklist for horses contains 45 check-points (CP) of which CP-8 pertains to the acceptability of the horses' body condition including whether they were under-or overweight. Prevalence of non-compliance with CP-8, with 95 % confidence intervals (CI), were calculated for the years 2010-2013. Associations between risk factors and non-compliance for overweight body condition were estimated using logistic regression and expressed as odds ratios (OR) with 95 % CIs.Results: Of 7870 premises with registered horses that were inspected against CP-8, a total of 63 premises had noncompliant inspections due to overweight horses (0.80 %; CI 0.62, 1.02 %). In multivariable analyses, premises that were non-compliant with requirements for the care of sick or injured horses (OR 3.52; CI 1.51, 8.22) or with the requirements for feeding a balanced high-quality diet (OR 5.15; CI 2.49, 10.67) had greater odds of having overweight horses. Premises that also kept other species for meat production were more likely to have overweight horses (OR 2.12; CI 1.18, 3.81) whereas professional horse establishments were less likely (OR 0.09; 0.01, 0.64). Overweight horses were more likely in summer compared to winter (OR 2.18; CI 1.02, 4.70). Premises in regions of Sweden with more horses in relation to the human population were less likely to have overweight horses (OR 0.97; CI 0.95, 1.00).Conclusions: Official animal welfare control data may be used to monitor the premises prevalence of overweight horses in Sweden. Strategies to reduce the prevalence of overweight horses should focus on education about equine care and nutrition, especially summer grazing.
