[okfn-discuss] [open-science] IPCC report

Wed Oct 2 09:01:00 UTC 2013

This is great.

There was a form of this run on data.gov.uk in the early days which
presented the supposed data page in an iframe within the survey page and
asked “what do you see?”

Although Google terms of service prohibit (as I recall) fully automated
searches, it should be possible and acceptable for the start page to offer a
button for the user to press to search Google (or Microsoft/Bing) with a
pre-filled query, and open the search in a new window or an iframe so that
the user has at least the search and the form available at the same time.
That should reduce the copy-and-pasting, and reduce the amount of paper
copying too.

Regards

Andrew

Great,

I'll probably try to hack bits of the report today. 

The way I see it is something like:

* Crowdcrafting is given 9000 references:

* Each citizen is given a reference. and asked "can you read this"

* they are expected to paste the text into Google or some other search
engine (maybe Microsoft Academic Search)

* they click questions such as "is this paper on a public site?" "is it the
publisher site?" "can you access the full-text?" "if not, how much does it
cost?" "please save the URL"

and repeat.  It's up to our app to keep track of the results.

There's slightly more cut and paste than normal, but many citizens should
have high motivation. My guess it will take about 0.5-3 mins. We may need
notes on how to navigate some journals. Their interfaces are awful. 

We also need a wiki/mail - e.g. how do we find the cost for Journal X...

I think it could be exciting, rapid and very worthwhile.

Hi everyone,

Peter's idea for crowdcrafting this problem is good indeed. All you have to,
if possible, is to extract as Peter has said the references, and then
convert each of them into a task in a CrowdCrafting.org app.

>From there you can start asking whatever you like. Peter, I think you can
talk to Ross Mounce and re-use part of the code he and I created for Open
Access Journals <http://crowdcrafting.org/app/oajournals/>  as your goal it
is pretty similar and the app is more or less done :-)

If you need help, let me know it.

All the best,

Daniel

Hi Peter, Media Lab Science Po is doing a study on IPCC contributors

How ironic that they keep all their data in a private database!  (and they
use NC-ND on their images)
