An Example for Analysing Raw Data62005audio interview methodology transcription For the first time in the history of qualitative social research, currently available technology is able to allow analysis of qualitative data without the aid of transcriptions. In most cases software for Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) is employed in order to do this kind of research. This paper will show how to create a Clickable Table of Contents (C-TOC) by using Atlas.ti. On the one hand, a C-TOC offers an overview of the qualitative material with the option to access single passages with a single mouse-click. On the other, its elements serve as basic units for further analysis in Altas.ti. This step of transforming the raw material into a handy arrangement may substitute the process of transcribing in many fields of qualitative social research. Some of the benefits include: digitised audio data that is easily accessible and always at hand (as mp3-files on a PC or Laptop, or on CD ROM or even on a PDA); the researcher can work with the raw data and not with transcriptions; with a C-TOC this data (in comparison to transcriptions) is already structured as single segments which can be accessed very easily; in the case of secondary analysis, C-TOC can provide access to old data through a table of content; and finally it reduces costs since transcriptions are not used.

But in spite of its utility, its contents are barely machine-interpretable. Structural knowledge, e.,g. about how concepts are interrelated, can neither be formally stated nor automatically processed. Also the wealth of numerical data is only available as plain text and thus can not be processed by its actual meaning.We provide an extension to be integrated in Wikipedia, that allows the typing of links between articles and the specification of typed data inside the articles in an easy-to-use manner.Enabling even casual users to participate in the creation of an open semantic knowledge base, Wikipedia has the chance to become a resource of semantic statements, hitherto unknown regarding size, scope, openness, and internationalisation. These semantic enhancements bring to Wikipedia benefits of today's semantic technologies: more specific ways of searching and browsing. Also, the RDF export, that gives direct access to the formalised knowledge, opens Wikipedia up to a wide range of external applications, that will be able to use it as a background knowledge base.In this paper, we present the design, implementation, and possible uses of this extension.Thu May 28 15:10:44 CEST 2009Proceedings of WWW 2003231A Unified Abstraction for Messaging on the Semantic Web2003messaging model rdf Mon May 18 14:10:51 CEST 2009MünchenMensch und Computer 2009: Grenzenlos frei?Adopting Social Software to the Intranet: A Case Study on Enterprise Microblogging2009casestudy communote microblogging own Mon May 18 14:09:48 CEST 2009Proceedings of the 17th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS), Verona, Italy, June 08-10, 2009in pressContinuance Usage Intention in Microblogging Services: The Case of Twitter2009iscontinuance microblogging own survey twitter Wed May 06 10:19:57 CEST 2009Atlanta, GA, USACommunications of the AIS4es1-20Investigating information systems with ethnographic research21999casestudy ethnographic methodology Mon May 04 16:07:45 CEST 2009Zukunftsforschung und Zukunftsgestaltung455--465Information und Sinn2009future information philosophy „Die Zukunft ist auch nicht mehr das, was sie mal war“, pflegen Spötter zu sagen. Man fühlt sich versucht, ihnen Recht zu geben, wenn man sich vergegenwärtigt, wie all das in den Hintergrund getreten ist, was vor bald vier Jahrzehnten über möglicheund wünschbare Zukünfte gedacht und geschrieben worden ist (z. B. Flechtheim 1972). Damals wurden weitgreifende Visionen entworfenund mit der optimistischen Erwartung verbunden, dass, nach Karl Marx, „die Menschen ihre eigene Geschichte machen“ können(Marx 1852 , S. 115). Freilich hatte man die Fortsetzung des Zitates vernachlässigt; denn die Menschen machen ihre eigeneGeschichte „[…] nicht aus freien Stücken, nicht unter selbstgewählten, sondern unter unmittelbar vorgefundenen, gegebenenund überlieferten Umständen“. Diese Umstände aber, in Gestalt individueller Triebmuster und Vorurteile sowie nationalstaatlicherund kapitalistischer Eigensinnigkeiten, waren offensichtlich stärker als die Zukunftsideen aufgeklärter Futurologen. Die Zieleumwelt- und menschengerechter Technisierung, umfassender Demokratisierung und allseitiger Pazifizierung scheinen heute ebensoweit entfernt wie vor Jahrzehnten.Mon May 04 16:06:13 CEST 2009Integrations-management61-97Entwicklung eines Zielsystems für ein systemisch-evolutionäres Management der IS-Architektur im Unternehmen2006cybernetic informationmanagement Das Informationsmanagement in Unternehmungen sieht sich Herausforderungen mit zunehmender Dynamik und Komplexität gegenüber, welche vielfach direkt Einfluss auf die Architektur des Informationssystems nehmen. Aus diesem Grund bedarf es eines Ansatzes zum systemisch-evolutionären Management der IS-Architektur, welcher den Herausforderungen adäquat begegnet. Ein Zielsystem sowie daraus abgeleitete Anforderungen für einen solchen Ansatz werden im vorliegenden Beitrag auf der Grundlage des allgemeinen systemisch-evolutionären Managements sowie des Informationsmanagements unabhängig von den heterogenen Auffassungen zum IS-Architekturmanagement in Theorie und Praxis entwickelt. ER -Mon May 04 15:59:07 CEST 2009Poiesis & Praxis: International Journal of Technology Assessment and Ethics of Science#sep#3159-183Information, information systems, information society: interpretations and implications52008information theory Abstract  The term “information” has become a universal and omnipresent keyword in almost all areas of our modern world—be it in science or society in general. This is not only obvious from the naming of whole scientific branches like Information Theory, Information Science or Informatics but even more from common speaking—characterising our present time and society as information age viz. information society. However, what “information” might mean, is by no means clear and there is a wide range of interpretations covering, amongothers, its technical, communicational, educational, mental, and scientific aspects. But is the use of the same term justifiedwhen adopted in Biology, Physics, Archaeology, Law, Communication Technology, and Informatics (to list just a few of the involvedscientific branches) or do its different uses at least have some common characteristics—some sort of common denominator? Isinformation natural, e.g. manifesting itself as a material phenomenon residing in organisms, stars, atoms, or genes, or is it just a cultural product of human communication, thinking, and interpretation? In this article, we try to clarify some of the most importantinterpretations, discuss and contrast them with the Informatics point of view. Interpretations range from taking informationas material, transferable signals (following Shannon’s Information Theory or the genetic approaches), treating it as a sign (following a semiotic approach), as a commercial product (now common in Web-based Information Business) to considering it a pure mental phenomenon bound to humans or human-like individuals or even to groups and societies. Based on these interpretations, weshall throw a critical glance on current trends in human science and society—focusing on the now popular concept of “information society”—and then derive some theses and guidelines for further research escorting the growth and dispersal of information technology.As it will turn out, an information society which defines itself through the number of computers, internet connections andnetwork links is based on a very narrow, techno-centric concept of information. However, a reflection on the educational andcultural aspects of information might lead to a better-qualified society consisting of responsible and critical citizens.Mon May 04 11:31:49 CEST 2009New York, NY, USAACM Comput. Surv.2114--131The many faces of publish/subscribe352003architecture communication pub-sub Well adapted to the loosely coupled nature of distributed interaction in large-scale applications, the publish/subscribe communication paradigm has recently received increasing attention. With systems based on the publish/subscribe interaction scheme, subscribers register their interest in an event, or a pattern of events, and are subsequently asynchronously notified of events generated by publishers. Many variants of the paradigm have recently been proposed, each variant being specifically adapted to some given application or network model. This paper factors out the common denominator underlying these variants: full decoupling of the communicating entities in time, space, and synchronization. We use these three decoupling dimensions to better identify commonalities and divergences with traditional interaction paradigms. The many variations on the theme of publish/subscribe are classified and synthesized. In particular, their respective benefits and shortcomings are discussed both in terms of interfaces and implementations.Mon May 04 11:28:51 CEST 2009Intelligence in Communication Systems43-53Triple-Space Computing: Semantic Web Services Based on Persistent Publication of Information2004pub-sub semantic web This paper discusses possible routes to moving the web from a collection of human readable pieces of information connecting humans, to a webthat connects computing devices based on machine-processable semantics of dataand distributed computing. The current shortcomings of web service technologyare analyzed and a new paradigm for fully enabled semantic web services isproposed which is called triple-based or triple-space computing.

Proceedings of the 38th Annual Hawaii International Conference onJan.204a-204aSocial Shaping & Standardization: A Case Study from Auto Industry2005casestudy example Inter-organizational collaboration requires systems interoperability which is not possible in the absence of common standards. However, empirical research has shown that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) standards can be a major barrier in the progress of Information Technology (IT)-enabled inter-organizational collaboration. Though often portrayed as a narrow technical matter, standard setting is a complex social process, shaped by an array of factors and representing embodiments of social relationships between the actors. This paper approaches standardization from a Social Shaping of Technology (SST) perspective. The paper explores the characteristics and factors that shape the development and implementation of a standard in the case of a portal implementation in the automotive industry.Tue Apr 28 11:18:07 CEST 2009Integrated Manufacturing Systems8538-550The holonic enterprise: a model for Internet-enabled global manufacturing supply chain and workflow management132002cybernetic holonic information Tue Apr 28 11:09:02 CEST 2009cite arxiv:cs.HC/0612081 Personal Information Ecosystems and Implications for Design2006cybernetic ecosystem information Today, people use multiple devices to fulfill their information needs. However, designers design each device individually, without accounting for the other devices that users may also use. In many cases, the applications on all these devices are designed to be functional replicates of each other. We argue that this results in an over-reliance on data synchronization across devices, version control nightmares, and increased burden of file management. In this paper, we present the idea of a \textit{personal information ecosystem}, an analogy to biological ecosystems, which allows us to discuss the inter-relationships among these devices to fulfill the information needs of the user. There is a need for designers to design devices as part of a complete ecosystem, not as independent devices that simply share data replicated across them. To help us understand this domain and to facilitate the dialogue and study of such systems, we present the terminology, classifications of the interdependencies among different devices, and resulting implications for design. Tue Apr 28 11:03:49 CEST 2009Academy of Management Review1p9 - 28Alternative Information-Processing Models and Their Implications for Theory, Research, and Practice.1519900101cybernetic information psychology A general taxonomic system of alternative information-processing models (rational, limited capacity, expert, and cybernetic) found in the management and psychological literatures is developed. These models are evaluated on four criteria: theoretical utility, descriptive accuracy, prescriptive value, and potential to suggest interventions consistent with typical information processing. No model is superior according to all criteria, yet each model provides a different explanation of information processing in typical work situations. Each model provides a different explanation of processing in several theoretical domains (attribution theory, decision making, performance appraisal), and each model has different methodological implications. Thus, researchers or practitioners should carefully evaluate the applicability of each model for their particular purpose.
