Research Community Evaluation Report : Europeana Cloud Deliverable 1.7
- 2016
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report deals with three Evaluation Workshops organized by ATHENA R.C that took place as part of research undertaken in Work Package 1 of the Europeana Cloud (eCloud) project (2013-16). The workshops were linked to WP3 iterative development cycle, and intended to provide feedback regarding the usefulness, as against usability, of tools and service prototypes within Europeana Cloud and their fitness-for-purpose with regard to the requirements analysis and user-centred design of Europeana Research.

User Requirements Analysis and Case Studies Report. Content Strategy Report. : Europeana Cloud Deliverable 1.3 and 1.6: User Requirements Analysis and Case Studies Report (1.3) and Content Strategy Report (1.6)
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The present Deliverable (1.3) comprises of two joint reports: former Deliverable 1.3 (User Requirements and Case Studies report) and Deliverable 1.6 (Content Strategy Report). As a product of a multi-scale, interdisciplinary effort, Deliverable 1.3 (User Requirements and Case Studies report / Content Strategy Report) employs a multi-faceted approach to make sense of the information needs and behaviour of Humanities and Social Sciences researchers both within and outside the Europeana ecosystem, while achieving profound understanding of the ways these communities interact with existing Europeana content and metadata. Through extensive and widely-levelled empirical research (Case Studies, Web Survey, Interviews, Focus Groups) complimented by thorough desk research (Literature review, study of particular thematic areas), and building on work previously conducted in the context of other Digital Humanities Research Infrastructures (DARIAH, EHRI, ARIADNE, NeDiMAH) Work Package 1 managed to reach a long list of non-prioritized User Requirements as well as a set of flexible Content Recommendations for the upcoming development of Europeana Research.

Figurations of Digital Practice, Craft, and Agency in Two Mediterranean Fieldwork Projects
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Open Archaeology. - : Walter de Gruyter. - 2300-6560. ; 7:1, s. 1731-1755
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Archaeological practice is increasingly enacted within pervasive and invisible digital infrastructures, tools, and services that affect how participants engage in learning and fieldwork, and how evidence, knowledge, and expertise are produced. This article discusses the collective imaginings regarding the present and future of digital archaeological practice held by researchers working in two archaeological projects in the Eastern Mediterranean, who have normalized the use of digital tools and the adoption of digital processes in their studies. It is a part of E-CURATORS, a research project investigating how archaeologists in multiple contexts and settings incorporate pervasive digital technologies in their studies. Based on an analysis of qualitative interviews, we interpret the arguments advanced by study participants on aspects of digital work, learning, and expertise. We find that, in their sayings, participants not only characterize digital tools and workflows as having positive instrumental value, but also recognize that they may severely constrain the autonomy and agency of researchers as knowledge workers through the hyper-granularization of data, the erosion of expertise, and the mechanization of work. Participants advance a notion of digital archaeology based on do-it-yourself (DIY) practice and craft to reclaim agency from the algorithmic power of digital technology and to establish fluid, positional distribution of roles and agency, and mutual validation of expertise. Operating within discourses of labour vs efficiency, and technocracy vs agency, sayings, elicited within the archaeological situated practice in the wild, become doings, echoing archaeology's anxiety in the face of pervasive digital technology.

State of the art report on digital research practices, tools and scholarly content use : Deliverable D1.2
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This document constitutes desk research to analyse the current situation related to digital research practices, tools and content for the humanities and social sciences research communities and it comprises of three Milestones submitted separately in the course of the first nine months of the Project, each corresponding to digital research practices, tools and content respectively. Moreover, this report will serve as an exploratory stage which will provide the basis for the confirmation stage, that is the web survey undertaken within Task 1.3, relying heavily on work previously presented in Deliverable 1.1 (Research Communities Identification and Definition Report), in which the humanities and social sciences research communities were largely identified. The Research Communities Web Survey (T.1.3.4), which has been completed and is currently being processed, encompasses - amongst others -questions pertaining to the activities undertaken by Humanities and Social Sciences researchers, as well as questions regarding the use of content and metadata. This current document provides the background work which guided the design of the Web Survey and is meant to complement the related Web Survey findings which will comprise the User Requirements and Case Studies Analysis report, D1.3. Moreover, this work draws from and complements Deliverable 1.5 (Case Studies Expert Forum Report. The present desk research seeks to analyse the current situation related to digital research practices, tools and content for the humanities and social sciences research community, and will serve as an exploratory stage which will provide the basis for the confirmatory stage, that is the Content Strategy and User Requirements reports, due later on in the Project.

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.

Archaeological Practices and Societal Challenges

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Archaeology and archaeological work are tightly linked to contemporary societal challenges. Archaeology has much to contribute to the understanding, contextualising and working out of global challenges from migration to environmental change. In parallel to how archaeology impacts society, the society, societal changes, and challenges impact archaeology and its public mission of preserving and interpreting the physical and curating the informational archaeological record. Similarly, they impact archaeological practices, that is how archaeology is done in practice. This article draws attention to the need to comprehend what the increasing diversity and multiplicity of links between archaeological practices, knowledge work, and contemporary societal challenges implies for the understanding of how archaeology is achieved and archaeological knowledge is produced. The discussion is based on input collected from 50 members of the COST Action Archaeological Practices and Knowledge Work in the Digital Environment (www.arkwork.eu) who shared their views on how archaeology can contribute to solving contemporary societal challenges and what societal changes and challenges are likely to affect the field of archaeology during the next 5 years. In addition to a continuing need to increase the understanding of archaeological practices and their implications, distilling the outcomes of the state of the art into shared, validated, and actionable lessons learned applicable for societal benefit remains another major challenge.

Archaeological Knowledge Production and Global Communities : Boundaries and Structure of the Field

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Archaeology and material cultural heritage enjoys a particular status as a form of heritage that, capturing the public imagination, has become the locus for the expression and negotiation of regional, national, and intra-national cultural identities. One important question is: why and how do contemporary people engage with archaeological heritage objects, artefacts, information or knowledge outside the realm of an professional, academically-based archaeology? This question is investigated here from the perspective of theoretical considerations based on Yuri Lotmans semiosphere theory, which helps to describe the connections between the centre and peripheries of professional archaeology as sign structures. The centre may be defined according to prevalent scientific paradigms, while periphery in the space of creolisation in which, through interactions with other culturally more distant sign structures, archaeology-related nonprofessional communities emerge. On the basis of these considerations, we use collocation analysis on representative English language corpora to outline the structure of the field of archaeology-related nonprofessional communities, identify salient creolised peripheral spaces and archaeology-related practices, and develop a framework for further investigation of archaeological knowledge production and reuse in the context of global archaeology.
