Policies and requirements

edit

The project "Visual Analytics for Sustainability and Climate Change: Assessing online open content and supporting community engagement. The case of Wikipedia" is promoted by SUPSI, supported by SNSF and involving the Wikimedia and Creative Commons communities.

Relevant policies

edit

Terms included in the project

edit

The research project Visual Analytics for Sustainability and Climate Change contributes to the Wikimedia projects; this requires the interoperability of the research project data with the Wikimedia projects. The default license of Meta-wiki and Wikipedia project pages is CC BY-SA and Wikidata uses the open tool CC0.

  • Research content will be released by default with the double license CC BY-SA and CC BY; data will be released in CC0.
  • The authors of the interactive visualization tool will have all non-exclusive rights on the tool and the tool with its code will be released with an open license.
  • The project whenever possible uses open and libre software.
  • Partners and participants in the interviews will have to sign a consent to release their interviews anonymised under CC0 or attributed under CC BY 4.0; participants in the interviews will be able to decide if they want their recordings and transcript to be stored privately or publicly or eliminated at the end of the research.
  • Datasets are associated with a DOI on Zenodo.
  • The project documentation is also made accessible on Media-wiki, OSF Open Science Framework, and the SUPSI repository

Guiding Principles

edit
  • Open by default: as open as possible, as closed as needed
  • Easy to find, cite and reuse
  • Data is collected, produced and stored according to the FAIR and CARE principles
  • Proportionality: only use data you need
  • Delete unnecessary data
  • Ensure the security of the data which needs to be protected
  • Respect the communities and practices of the Wikimedia projects, inform them and involve them in relevant decisions

Data produced and collected during the different phases of the project

edit

The main data collection needed for the project is related to the selection of articles. The selection of articles relies on existing lists created by the Wikimedia communities.

Tools and repositories used

edit
Tool/repository Description Critical issues Strenghts Safety (0-3) Use within the project
Zenodo Repository for research outputs and data; generic. It is managed by CERN and financed by the European Union. The most well-known generic research repository. FAIR repository. https://zenodo.org/ Very difficult to find content on Zenodo.

Not a repository specifically for research in the humanities.

Generic repository.

You can upload data in folders.

Compliant with SNSF requirements, FAIR data. Up to 50GB per record and max 100 files. Stable, reliable funder, easy to use.

Designed for research outputs

Permanent archiving (and reliable promoter/sponsor). Consolidated database for open access and open data. Allows to generate DOIs. Very suitable for publications. Guided process to produce metadata. Possibility to create a community related to your research project

0 For papers and research documents. Creation of a Zenodo project community.
OSF Open Science Framework Repository for research outputs and data organised by project; generic. It is managed by the Center for Open Science. It is designed to document projects but also to collaborative work. FAIR repository. https://osf.io More difficult and long to properly add metadata.

Less well-know than Zenodo.

Compliant with SNSF requirements, FAIR data. Useful also as working environment. Possibility to link all the documentation of a project together and provide different kind of access (also restricted assess to research team). Designed for research. Organised by project. Allows to generate DOIs. 1 All the documentation related to the project uploaded here https://osf.io/6wv9t/; a DOI is generated for the documentation which is ready, with correct attributions, credits and metadata.
Wikimedia GitLab Git of the Wikimedia projects Managed by the communities Relevant for software directly related to the Wikimedia projects 0 Necessary for the project.
GitHub Git owned by Microsoft No longer owned and managed by a non profit organisation Largely used, in particular by designers 0 Necessary for the project.
Toolforge The Wikimedia Foundation hosting service for community tools https://admin.toolforge.org/ / https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Developing_successful_tools Managed by the Wikimedia Foundation Relevant for software directly related to the Wikimedia projects 0 Necessary for the project.
LimeSurvey On open and libre software for surveys https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LimeSurvey Some complexity when editing. SUPSI uses Microsoft form. Open tool also endorsed by the Wikimedia communities 1 Used for the survery
Microsoft OneDrive Proprietary software. The system used by SUPSI as internal database and icloud. Owned by Microsoft. Accessible to collaborators of SUPSI with a SUPSI account. Privacy is assured according to the SUPSI agreement. Recommended by SUPSI for internal files. We can use it for confidential data (i.e. CV, administrative files). Permanent storage is not guaranteed. It is not public. 2 Used for the current archive of the project by the SUPSI team. Backup of the data.
Files and folders on SUPSI servers The system used by SUPSI. Accessible only to collaborators of SUPSI with a SUPSI account. Permanent storage is not guaranteed. It is not public. It is useful for confidential content. 2 Used to archive documents and for backups.
Files and folders on SWITCH A system used by SUPSI and by Swiss universities. Free and open software supported by the universities and public funds Not used outside Swiss universities. It is necessary to have an account at a university. Accessible to Swiss universities and commonly used by Swiss universities. 1 Used for the project for some transfer of files.
Google drive - free service Online storage and productivity suite. Owned by google. It doesn't guarantee any confidentiality or permanent archiving. Commonly used. 0 Used for the project. Not recommended. We are moving content on OSF (for public data) and SUPSI OneDrive and servers (as requested by our university).
Wikimedia Meta-wiki Wikimedia community website; content in CC BY-SA by default. It hosts also the Wikimedia research projects. CC BY-SA is not the open tool normally used in research (it is more common to use CC BY) Facilitate collaborate work. It expresses the explicit support to the Wikimedia projects. Content is by default under CC BY-SA. 0 Used to present, describe and documents the project and to facilitate collaborative work on the project.
Wikidata A Wikimedia project for open structured data, in CC0. CC0 is not the open tool normally used in research (it is more common to use CC BY).

Items and data from research projects may not be considered by the Wikidata communities relevant.

It may be deleted by the communities.

Dissemination, facilitates reuse, visibility and collaborative work.

The largest existing open data repository with linked open data and structured data. Largely used and makes data very accessible and easy to reuse.

0 Essential tool for the project. We use data from Wikidata and we enrich Wikidata with our data. In particular we need to cluster content and we will do it on Wikidata

Wikidata item of the project d:Q130394984

Wikimedia Commons A Wikimedia project for multimedia data in public domain, CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA or similar. Managed by the communities who decide policies and practices; it can host only content which can serve the Wikimedia projects or are considered useful Dissemination, facilitates reuse, visibility and collaborative work. Makes images very visible and easy to be reused. 0 Used for illustrations, guidelines, graphic design and images related to climate change and sustainability. Available images are documented and the upload of images is triggered by the tool.

Some images produced by the project.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) A collaborative project for open geographical data. It has an open licenses with copyleft /share alike similar to Wikipedia. Managed by the communities who decide policies and practices. Extensively used and reused. Strongly liked to the Wikimedia projects. Also the UN train people to add data on OSM because it is a central resource in many territories. Geographical data made available on OSM can really serve many communities. 0 Used for geo-referenced data and articles with a specific location.
Social media SUPSI SUPSI uses a series of social media to communicate its initiatives. Difficulty to coordinate Communication tools of SUPSI important to reach students and the SUPSI communities. 0 Very limited use.
Calls, conferences and webinars on Teams Proprietary software. The system used by SUPSI. 2 Limited use. To be used if BBB doesn't work for some speakers (sometimes BBB is blocked in universities).
Calls, conferences and webinars on BBB BigBlueButton Open source conference tool. Wikimedia Italia provided us for free the room BBB Open Science The videos can be downloaded as separated video, audio and slides; the quality is good but it requires work to edit the videoThe platform doesn't guarantee permanent storage. Open source tool more appropriate for an open science project. Recording remain the main page of the room. 2 Used. Request to Wikimedia Italia for a dedicated room. Recorded videos can be temporarly stored on BBB but they need to be uploaded on OSF with related content and on peertube and youtube.
Peertube Free and open software. Part of the Fediverse. We used the storage provided by the Italian Linux Society. Used by very small communities. Open source alternative to youtube and it allows to conveniently view the videos. 0 Relevant to upload some interviews produced by the project. Playlist on peertube: TBD
Youtube Proprietary software owned by google. It is a social media. Youtube can arbitrarily erase content. Difficult to use the SUPSI account. It is easier to create a specific account or channel and link it to SUPSI accounts. Very widely used. It makes videos more accessible. It allows to include open licenses and credit can be included in the description. 0 Relevant to upload some interviews produced by the project. Playlist: TBD
Files and folders on personal computer Important to guarantee backups and to add a safe and complex password to access data. 2 Temporary use during the project.
Files and folders on external hard drive Risk to loose content if data are not migrated regularly to new supports. For very confidential files it is better to avoid having them on the Internet. 2 Possible use during the project
DARIAH Marketplace Resources for your research in Social Sciences and Humanities: tools, services, training materials, workflows and datasets. managed by DARIAH

https://marketplace.sshopencloud.eu/

Limited use. Used by the research communities in social sciences and humanities. Connected to the network of DARIAH and DARIAH-CH. 0 Not planned to be used for the project.
