UI needs for the CI (be a member of the community) • UI needs for SNA (do analysis)
UI for the CI • r D • Hire a professional UI expert (also support staff later) • Lots of needs are common with other CI (e.g. registration or most collaboration tools) • What’s available? and by the way I have a Mac and I have a dataset with a million nodes… • Make visible what is invisible e.g. how public is this space? Privacy policies etc.
Know thy user… • Successful stories are focused on particular user groups >> Involve users in design and development • SNA is a methodology that spans multi disciplines (e.g. bio informatics, publications, DHS) • Datasets are very different in diff domains • Range of user types SNA Researchers/ avid SNA users/ intermittent or novice users
Know the task/process Seems to be a common SNA process i.e. Data cleaning, extract, crude layout, design map, start again, and again Entity resolution, dealing with missing data, uncertainty Define it, facilitate it, teach it
Tools needed • SNA bibliographic DL (ref only) >> bibliometric >> delineation • Map of SNA community (use your own tools!) • Present usage stats (that map is a good way to attract users) - Infrastructure to submit images and videos • Graph layout and interaction • Dynamic networks - studying change over time • Collaborative Visualization Tools synchronous or asynchronous – annotations etc.dealing with heterogeneous levels of expertise… • Helping people cross domain boundaries • Diff ontologies, glossaries
Tools needed • History keeping of the analysis record, replay, annotate, edit, share • Multilevel interfaces from: simple GUIs to : you own code
For scale Components for SNA
other • Evaluation • How to measure insight / discoveries? • Longitudinal studies • Universal Access (range of expertise, various hardware, disabilities)
Extra: next slide is if we want to discuss a killer “adoption app” i.e. something that attracts a lot of people, get them excited and satisfied they learned something quickly while having fun… Catherine
Shows that LOTS of people refer to this system in their page in just a few months..
