GA No 654221 1 Deliverable Number: D 4.12 Deliverable Number: D 4.12 Deliverable Title: Project implementation report for web-based survey project management platform (SMaP) Work Package: 4 – Interactive tools for cross-national surveys Deliverable type:Report Dissemination status: Public Submitted by: GESIS, CESSDA ERIC Authors: Markus Quandt, Dafina Kurti, Evelyn Brislinger, Masoud Davari, Claus-Peter Klas (GESIS) Date Submitted: August 2019 This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 654221. www.seriss.eu GA No 654221 1 www.seriss.eu @SERISS_EU SERISS (Synergies for Europe’s Research Infrastructures in the Social Sciences) aims to exploit synergies, foster collaboration and develop shared standards between Europe’s social science infrastructures in order to better equip these infrastructures to play a major role in addressing Europe’s grand societal challenges and ensure that European policymaking is built on a solid base of the highest-quality socio-economic evidence. The four year project (2015-19) is a collaboration between the three leading European Research Infrastructures in the social sciences – the European Social Survey (ESS ERIC), the Survey of Health Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE ERIC) and the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA AS) – and organisations representing the Generations and Gender Programme (GGP), European Values Study (EVS) and the WageIndicator Survey. Work focuses on three key areas: Addressing key challenges for cross-national data collection, breaking down barriers between social science infrastructures and embracing the future of the social sciences.

OVERVIEW Socialization and collaboration technologies are currently reshaping the established enterprise collaboration market as well as creating whole new categories of offerings, especially around private social platforms. In addition, many other enterprise applications such as CRM and unified communications are heavily transformed through the incorporation of new technologies including group messaging & activity feeds, document collaboration, and analytics. Much of this change is being driven by the consumerization of IT and the incorporation of social technologies. As businesses look to leverage the benefits of improved “connecting” and “network building” that employees have experienced with Facebook and other social solutions, a convergence is occurring between the enterprise social software and collaboration markets.

  • Social Media Adoption in Workplace by Teams for Knowledge Work: Benefits, Barriers and Enabling Factors
    DIPARTIMENTO DI INGEGNERIA DELL’ENERGIA DEI SISTEMI, DEL TERRITORIO E DELLE COSTRUZIONI RELAZIONE PER IL CONSEGUIMENTO DELLA LAUREA MAGISTRALE IN INGEGNERIA GESTIONALE Social media adoption in workplace by teams for knowledge work: benefits, barriers and enabling factors TESI RELATORI CANDIDATO Prof. Antonella Martini Mattia Rocco Perugini Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’Energia, dei Sistemi, del Territorio e delle Costruzioni [email protected] Ing. Francesco Paolo Appio École de Management, Léonard de Vinci Prof. Christine Ipsen Technical University of Denmark Sessione di Laurea del 27/04/2016 Anno Accademico 2014/2015 ABSTRACT Nowadays, business companies cannot be seen merely as a physical place where employees execute their daily functions. The progress and the development of technologies has made possible the continuous interconnection and interaction among co- workers, allowing to carry on own activities also if are not physically present. It became a key factor for companies or teams geographically separated which need to unit their efforts to achieve a shared goal. The aim of many companies and workers it is, indeed, to use these new technologies not merely to communicate with remote team members, but rather to take advantage of their tools in order to improve knowledge work in workplace day by day. Although there is a general agreement about the development in the future of these platforms, many companies and workers have still not understood completely the potential benefits. Thus, the aim of this work is to find and define a number of benefits from the organizational and collaborative point of view regarding the implementation of a social media platform within companies.

  • Proceedings of the Fourth Workshop on Semantic Wikis – the Semantic Wiki Web 6Th European Semantic Web Conference Hersonissos, Crete, Greece, June 2009
    Proceedings of the Fourth Workshop on Semantic Wikis – The Semantic Wiki Web 6th European Semantic Web Conference Hersonissos, Crete, Greece, June 2009 edited by Christoph Lange June 1, 2009 Preface Dear Reader, after a successful year, the semantic wiki community is meeting again to have their 4th workshop. A lot has happened after the previous workshop: People have invested further research and development into existing systems to make them more mature: Three out of 15 presentations in this workshop are about evolutions of systems presented in 2008. The community has further grown and become aware of new application areas, mainly thanks to the Ontolog teleconference series on semantic wikis1. Another indication of maturity is that, while research is still as creative and dynamic as ever, implementation of semantic wiki technologies largely concentrates on few successful platforms that are extensible by plugins, most notably (Semantic) MediaWiki and KiWi (8 out of 15 talks in this workshop). And these technologies are not necessarily limited to wikis. Using a wiki is not an end in itself, but, depending on the application, any semantic social software will get the task done: Systems that are no longer called “wikis” have adopted key principles of wikis, such as ubiquitous interlinking and easy collaboration. Thus, the semantic wiki community is giving their findings back into the larger Semantic Web. In 2006, when our first workshop took place, many semantic web researchers jumped onto the semantic wiki bandwagon, as they were hip. Now, semantic wikis rather serve as incubators for testing and evaluating new approaches and technologies in a manageable setting, before releasing them to the Semantic Web.
