In the digitized world, data literacy becomes a skillset that enables participation in transforming societies and job markets. This motivates the exploration of how creative teaching concepts might look like in order to form those relevant competencies. Citizen science, as a collaborative approach to scientific research, engages citizens in almost all forms in working with data that is meaningful to them. As such, this paper seeks to examine the potential of digital citizen science in enabling to practice and gain data literacy knowledge. To do so, this paper is focusing on the design of multi-project citizen science platforms through a structured artifact review. Furthermore, we gain insight through a qualitative interview study from 14 interviews (citizens, researchers, and technical experts), drawing conclusions on current platform designs as well as potentials and challenges for their further development. Our results show, on the one hand, that platforms provide a variety of ways to interact with different kinds of data while offering a simple and user-friendly design. On the other hand, functions for communication and support could be further developed and learning opportunities for citizens comprise several, but not all aspects of data literacy.

Annotation is a powerful instrument for enhancing knowledge containing in texts. When developing a text analysis process, we often make notes for identifying and characterizing concepts and relationships, or highlighting aspects in the text that could go unnoticed by some of its readers. In addition, text annotation can enrich the semantics of texts, giving them more value through the introduction of comments, explanations, references, among many other things. Today, most text annotation processes are carried out helped by computational tools, whose functionalities make it possible to simplify the most elementary annotation tasks and substantially reduce the annotation time. The annotation of old, unstructured texts is very relevant for all those who want to study and acquire knowledge about their contents. Annotating these texts makes them more accessible to people who are not experts in the domain or in the era in which they were produced. In this work we develop a specific annotation system, supported by natural language processing and machine learning tools, to reveal the knowledge contained in the Book of Properties – “Tombo da Mitra” –, a codex containing the inventory of the Archbishop's Table of Braga’s properties (Portugal) in the 17th century. This codex contains a huge amount and a wide variety of elements, containing names, nicknames, settlements, professions, types of land and buildings, among many others. All these elements are very important for studying and learning of geography, culture, economy, architecture, religion and Portuguese language until the 17th century. Annotating the Book of Properties makes possible to maintain a tag database for indexing the most relevant information contained in the book and make its knowledge accessible to a wider range of people.
注释是增强文本知识含量的有力工具。在进行文本分析时,我们经常会做一些注释,以确定概念和关系的特征,或突出文本中可能被某些读者忽略的方面。此外,文本注释还能丰富文本的语义,通过引入注释、解释和参考文献等方式赋予文本更多价值。如今,大多数文本注释工作都是在计算机工具的帮助下进行的,这些工具的功能可以简化最基本的注释任务,并大大缩短注释时间。对于所有希望研究和获取文本内容知识的人来说,给非结构化的旧文本添加注释是非常重要的。对这些文本进行注释,可以让那些不是该领域或该文本产生时代的专家的人更容易理解这些文本。在这项工作中,我们在自然语言处理和机器学习工具的支持下开发了一个特定的注释系统,以揭示《财产之书》("Tombo da Mitra")中包含的知识,这是一本包含 17 世纪布拉加(葡萄牙)大主教财产目录的手抄本。这本手抄本包含大量内容,种类繁多,包括姓名、绰号、居住地、职业、土地和建筑物类型等。所有这些内容对于研究和学习 17 世纪以前的地理、文化、经济、建筑、宗教和葡萄牙语都非常重要。对《物产册》进行注释,可以维护一个标签数据库,为《物产册》中最相关的信息编制索引,让更多的人了解《物产册》的知识。

The article explores the perceptions of librarians towards emerging technologies and how they can proactively engage with them to enhance their professional lives and the experiences of their users. The digitization of content and the virtualization of the global information landscape has transformed the nature of library operations and the information-seeking behavior of users. In response, librarians must adapt to new competencies and face rapid technological change and innovations. The study presented in this article aims to achieve three objectives. Firstly, to survey the attitudes of librarians towards the potential use of emerging technologies in their professional environment, comprising cognitive, affective, and behavioral components. Secondly, to investigate the impact of a multilinear story on the attitudes of librarians towards the portrayed technologies, which deliberately shows different variants of the future. And finally, to determine whether there is a difference in attitudes towards emerging technologies between staff in academic and public libraries. The research design follows the method of Science Fiction Prototyping, which fosters critical reflection on the consequences of technological innovations. It comprises three main phases: identifying and analyzing the drivers shaping the future of the domain, developing the narrative to portray the impact of the technologies on people, and exposing the audience to the narrative and reflecting on the impact and resulting learnings. The study reveals a clear gap between cognitive and affective attitudes both before and after reading the narrative scenario. The portrayed technologies are in general overall more imaginable than desirable for the participating librarians. The conclusion is that librarians must engage proactively with emerging technologies and adopt new competencies to remain relevant in the 21st century. Science Fiction Prototyping offers a valuable approach to reflecting critically on the consequences of technological innovations and can contribute to better envisioning the specific use of emerging technologies in everyday work.

The increase in the number of marketplaces and the expansion of its offerings generated greater competition in the market and difficulties in differentiation. While the multi-sided marketplace offers many advantages for the parties (marketplace, sellers and customers), it also incurs some risks and operational costs. The paper provides an in-depth aggregation of the results of identified primary studies about multi-sided marketplaces, after carrying out a systematic literature review, and proposes a framework showing the contributions and risks for the parties participating in the marketplace

With the proliferation of contemporary digital technologies, Digital Transformation (DT) has become a significant theme for companies across almost all industries. DT encompasses the digitalization of internal processes, the provision of digital services and products, and the enhancement of the customer experience. Previous research has delved into different barriers that impede successful DT. In our study, we investigate further how these barriers are perceived by employees at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in contrast to larger enterprises (LEs). We employ a mixed-methods approach by performing a quantitative analysis using the Means, Mann-Whitney U test with effect size and integrating it with qualitative results converted into frequencies. Our empirical data consist of two samples consisting of participants from 189 SMEs and 221 LEs for quantitative analysis and participants from 238 SMEs and 281 LEs for qualitative analysis. Overall, the results suggest a relatively similar perception of DT processes, indicating culture and structure as major barriers. However, the establishment of resources dedicated to managing DT emerges as a vaster barrier for SMEs than for LEs. At the same time, SMEs face fewer barriers regarding general personnel resources.
随着当代数字技术的普及,数字化转型(DT)已成为几乎所有行业公司的重要主题。DT 包括内部流程数字化、提供数字化服务和产品以及提升客户体验。以往的研究已经深入探讨了阻碍成功实现数字化转型的各种障碍。在我们的研究中,我们将进一步调查中小型企业(SMEs)与大型企业(LEs)的员工是如何看待这些障碍的。我们采用了一种混合方法,使用均值、曼-惠特尼 U 检验和效应大小进行定量分析,并将其与转换为频率的定性结果相结合。我们的经验数据由两个样本组成,定量分析样本包括 189 家中小企业和 221 家 LE 的参与者,定性分析样本包括 238 家中小企业和 281 家 LE 的参与者。总体而言,分析结果表明,企业对技术研发流程的认识相对相似,文化和结构是主要障碍。然而,与 LE 相比,建立专门用于管理 DT 的资源对 SME 来说是一个更大的障碍。同时,中小型企业在一般人力资源方面面临的障碍较少。

Our study aims to devise a new method for route planning that caters to the distinct needs of elderly pedestrians. We established a quantitative model to capture the relationship between the characteristics of elderly users and their route preferences. Additionally, we evaluated a user adaptation methodology that incorporates user preference assessment and walking history data. “Acceptable detour time” was used as a measure of user preferences. As the primary plan, we suggested a method based on post-walking evaluations of route factors by the user, which was validated through an empirical walking experiment, highlighting the feasibility of our approach. However, this approach relies on user input for each route factor, raising concerns over user convenience. To address this issue, we extended our objective to devise a methodology that incorporates walking history, eliminating the need for user input. Drawing insights from an additional walking experiment, we formulated an alternative strategy for adjusting the acceptable detour time in our secondary plan. This strategy estimates the user's evaluation of each route factor by comparing the shortest route with the actual route walked. Application of this method to our experimental data demonstrated its utility and viability, but it also revealed an exacerbation of estimation error with updates in some situations, requiring further research to enhance the efficiency of our proposed methodology.

This article researches the relationship between data, enterprise architecture (EA) and agility in corporate information technology services. The data responsibilities are represented by the Chief Data Office(r). The articles’ assumption is a disrelatedness between CDO and EA as enterprise functions. Where CDO is tasked to monitor and exploit data but might lack connectedness to other relevant business and technology functions to release the potential of the data-driven enterprise. The study is based on grounded research, especially use of the Gioia method, to guide and code semi-structured interviews with ten CDO professionals worldwide. Findings indicate business benefits of connecting or aligning CDO and EA functions and responsibilities in ideas of co-ownership and enterprise-wide collaboration on data resources. The over-arching rationale is velocity of change as represented by agile thinking. Agility can be considered broader and in a more committed form connecting enterprise and data in a proposed Enterprise Data Agility. A key practical implication is that the CDO function has been established to exploit data but are more tasked with data stewardship in form of reporting, integrity assurance, privacy, access policies and similar. The proposed agile thinking suggests more proactive and change-oriented actionability and measurability with a model ranging from isolated EA and CDO function and up to the holistic enterprise with an intense fabric of data and decision within and around the enterprise. Changes in data semantics are used as best indicators for risks and potentials of the enterprise. This article proposes a measurement scheme for assuring agility in the EA and CDO relationship aiming that changes can be accommodated faster and with more timely impact and risk mitigation.
本文研究了企业信息技术服务中数据、企业架构(EA)和敏捷性之间的关系。数据责任由首席数据官代表。文章的假设是,作为企业职能的 CDO 和 EA 之间是不相关的。首席数据官的任务是监控和利用数据,但可能缺乏与其他相关业务和技术职能的联系,从而无法释放数据驱动型企业的潜力。本研究基于基础研究,特别是使用 Gioia 方法,对全球十位 CDO 专业人员进行半结构化访谈,并对访谈进行指导和编码。研究结果表明,连接或调整 CDO 和 EA 的职能和责任,在数据资源的共同所有权和全企业范围的合作理念方面具有商业利益。最重要的理由是以敏捷思维为代表的变革速度。在拟议的 "企业数据敏捷性 "中,"敏捷性 "可被视为更广泛、更坚定地连接企业和数据的形式。一个关键的实际影响是,CDO 职能的建立是为了利用数据,但更多的任务是以报告、完整性保证、隐私、访问政策等类似形式管理数据。所提出的敏捷思维建议采用更加积极主动、以变化为导向的可操作性和可衡量性模型,其范围从孤立的 EA 和 CDO 职能到企业内部和周围的数据和决策密集结构的整体企业。数据语义的变化被用作企业风险和潜力的最佳指标。本文提出了一种确保 EA 和 CDO 关系敏捷性的测量方案,目的是更快地适应变化,更及时地降低影响和风险。

Since the global health disaster of COVID-19, the health professionals have been looking for new technologies to monitor and mitigate the number of patients affected by this pandemic. Through this research work, we seek to optimize the healthcare process of the infectious disease department of a hospital through the proposal of an approach that integrates IoT devices into the care process model. More generally, we propose the integration of a set of sensors in business processes and analyze their effect to improve their performance. Given the emergence of the covid-19 pandemic and the importance of the data processed by the Internet of Things (IoT), dealing with the associated security becomes fundamental. The latter will ensure the effectiveness of IoT as a solution which helps healthcare staff in controlling patients infected by the virus. To reach our objective we developed a Framework intended for the doctor which aims to group together the different measurements from the different IoT devices that can be used during COVID-19 health care. We tested the approach by collecting two different measures which are oxygen saturation and heart rate. These measurements were obtained thanks to an oximeter. Our approach is valid for a multi-sensor solution with several measured data. Given the lack of technical means to carry out a test with other devices, we relied on existing values measured in the Farhat Hached hospital in Sousse. We analysed them, by applying the decision tree technique which is one of the data mining techniques, in order to facilitate the diagnosis and improve the COVID-19 care process.

Given the lack of technical means to carry out a test with other devices, we relied on existing values measured in the Farhat Hached hospital in Sousse. We analysed them, by applying the decision tree technique which is one of the data mining techniques, in order to facilitate the diagnosis and improve the COVID-19 care process.","PeriodicalId":506509,"journal":{"name":"IADIS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139321559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
