Länkade data i Sverige 2014

För tredje året i rad arrangeras en träff om länkade data med syfte att skapa en mötesplats för personer från industri, myndigheter och akademi att diskutera och utbyta erfarenheter. Evenemanget bör vara givande både för dig som redan är insatt och för dig som är nyfiken på vad länkade data är och kan erbjuda. Värdar för i år är Medea, Malmö högskola, och forskningsprojektet Living Archives.

Dag och tid: 13 mars, 10-16
Plats: Medea, Malmö högskola, Ö. Varvsg. 11, Malmö (karta)
Registrering: krävs och görs via Eventbrite

Talare är, bland andra, Niklas Lundström från Kungliga biblioteket som ska prata om Libris och länkade data, Johan Carlström från Riksantikvarieämbetet som ska prata om semantiska länkar, och Marie Friberger från Malmö högskola som ska prata om hur kan man bygga spel på öppna data.

Designing For Homo Explorens: Open Social Play in Performative Frames

[PUBLICATIONS] Designing for Homo Explorens is a compositional design perspective within interaction design academia. It extends the Homo Ludens view of humans as playful creatures with the perspective of exploratory interaction. It focuses on socially exploratory interaction between participants mediated through designed artifacts. In the form of a Manifesto, four aspects are introduced which highlight important design dimensions to consider in Designing for Homo Explorens. The four aspects of the Manifesto are concerned with creating exploration through internal complexity, experiential exploration through full-body interaction, social playfulness through distortions of situated norms and a frame for performative interactions. The insights in the four aspects come from knowledge gained through experimenting with twelve working prototypes in real-life contexts, combined with contemporary streams of theory regarding ambiguity, somaesthetics, norms, situatedness and performativity.

Så beskriver bloggaren Alexander Cederholm musiken till spelet Super Mario Galaxy 2 på Joystick-bloggen, stället där du kan följa […]
