Exploitation and Impact

TD1210 as operated as Market Place on which communities which usually would not meet come together, exchange knowledge, develop new methods and theories and discuss the implementation of knowledge maps. The programme of Knowescape has been published here:

Scharnhorst, A. (2015). Walking through a library remotely. Why we need maps for collections and how KnoweScape can help us to make them. Les Cahiers Du Numérique, 11(1), 103–127. http://doi.org/10.3166/lcn.11.1.103-127 (Preprint available: arXiv:1503.06776 [cs.DL]

Looking at the Working group composition of TD1210, WG 1 took care of fundamental issues of knowledge organisation (what to measure and how to measure?). WG 2 was devoted to theoretical and methodological questions of the analysis of measurements (complex networks theory, simulation of complex social systems and their information flows), and its application to science policy. WG 3 contributed methods for visualisation of large information spaces and their application in research (maps as heuristic devices, strongly connected to WG 1,2) and information management (maps as navigation tools, WG 4).  WG 4 was in particular devoted to the implementation of knowledge maps, transferring the knowledge achieved in the other WG’s into practice.

These links provide access to all activities co-organised by the Working Groups. Scrolling through the page reveals the variety of events (workshops, satellite meetings, STSM’s). For each event and activity, a report is paced which documents the achievement of knowledge.

Short term scientific missions

In the lifetime of TD1210 50 STSM have been organised, most of them dedicated to Early Stage Researchers. Their reports can be found here: http://knowescape.org/category/stsm/ .

Impact – scientific, economic and societal

TD1210 has produced scientific impact primarily, by means of publications in peer reviewed domain-specific journals but also by means of PhD’s. The latter have been actively supported by STSM.

Different demonstrators and services have been developed by members of TD1210 for public and private sectors (economic impact).

With the Third Annual Conference in Mons 2016, TD1210 achieved societal impact. The conference was part of the programme of Mons/Bergen as Cultural Capital of Europe with an evening lecture and an exhibition designed with advice and for TD1210 Knowescape.

From TD1210 as meeting and market place different new collaborations emerged as visible in grants awarded to members of the community.

Demonstrators – Prototypes of Knowledge Maps used for Information Navigation

EuropeanAcademy-Lab: http://www.ea-aw.de/ea-lab.html. The EA-Lab serves to model the social aspects of knowledge production, technology assessment and innovation processes by using a broad collection of computer-based methods, among them information retrieval, discourse and document analysis, scientometrics/bibliometrics, technology scouting, social network analysis, policy modelling, and agent-based simulation. Visualisations and knowledge maps are an integrated part of the work of the lab. Developed by the team of Petra Ahrweiler.
