<br>Dear P2P Value,<br><br><br>We are emailing you to inform you of a project the University of Amsterdam is<br>working on. Also, we would like to ask you if you know of similar projects or<br>of parties that might be interested to learn more about our activities.<br>
<br>MOOR (massive online open research) is a project which seeks to create<br>software so that qualitative research can be performed open, online and<br>collaboratively. Specifically, we are looking for ways to discuss and draw<br>
conclusions about data materials (such as text and imagery) collaboratively.<br><br>The goals of the project are to work with large sets of data which are<br>already available but cannot be processed with small research teams, to<br>
generate a broader perspective on this data by engaging a diverse set of<br>people and to create a platform where people can learn about and contribute<br>to this lesser known field of scientific research.<br><br>As far as we know, there is no common based peer production software that<br>
allows to both discuss the content of primary documents �nd create<br>overview/insight into the discussion. But we are curious to hear what you<br>know of. As I think this description might be quite abstract let me give you<br>
an example of a project we would like to be able to perform:<br><br>What does it mean when we talk about ‘political trust’? This is a topic<br>widely discussed in the Netherlands, but the way it is measured is quite<br>poorly developed. The Netherlands Institute of Social Research has a dataset<br>
(text) available of people explaining what they mean by political trust. At<br>the moment it is impossible to study all of this material: we do not have the<br>human capacity and computer automated text analysis has not been developed<br>
sufficiently to do this task.<br><br>What we envision is a common based peer production platform where everyone<br>can stroll through the data and annotate or tag this data based on specific<br>instructions. Simultaneously, people can choose to look through the tagged<br>
material and start to formulate conclusions of the different ways people<br>think about political trust which will then be open for the other users to<br>see and to discuss. Together, it might be possible to start understanding,<br>
collaboratively, what is meant by the term political trust.<br><br><br>We hope to hear from you, kind regards,<br><br>On behalf of the MOOR development team,<br><br>Liza Rubinstein<br><br></div></blockquote></div><br><div>
