alt.metadata.health: Ontological Context for Data Use and IntegrationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 83-108 - 2008
Nadine Schuurman, Ellen Balka
Increasingly powerful computers and increased emphasis on evidence based decision making are creating a demand for merging and integrating data from different sources into a single data set. The demand for data is outstripping our ability to ensure data integrity, and sometimes analysis is performed on data that are not appropriate for the purposes they are used for. Here we describe problems that...... hiện toàn bộ
Diagnostic Reasoning in the Use of Travel Management SystemSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 251-276 - 2009
Ilkka Arminen, Piia Poikus
We explore the appropriation of a self-management administrative system from the perspective of diagnostic reasoning. The case study, based on documents, ethnography and videotapes, concerns the appropriation of a travel management system in a major university in Finland. To explore this process from a user-centric view, we focus on the diagnostic work required in the appropriation of the new syst...... hiện toàn bộ
A Tale of Two Toolkits: Relating Infrastructure and Use in Flexible CSCW ToolkitsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 33-51 - 2000
Paul Dourish, W. Keith Edwards
The design of software toolkitsembodies a fundamental tension. On the one hand, itaims to reduce programmer effort by providingprefabricated, reusable software modules encapsulatingcommon application behaviours. On the other, it seeksto support a range of applications, which necessitatesavoiding an overly-restrictive commitment toparticular styles of application behaviour. We explore this tension ...... hiện toàn bộ
Accommodating mixed sensory/modal preferences in collaborative writing systemsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 271-295 - 1994
David S. Kaufer, Christine M. Neuwirth, Ravinder Chandhok, James Morris
Writers use the abstractions of words to create meaning. But the activity of writing spans multiple concrete senses and modes. Technology-enhanced collaborative writing systems need to be sensitive to the preferred senses and modes of information in which writing teams want to work. Some preferences seem rooted in the senses (seeing vs. motor coordination); others seem based in the preferred modal...... hiện toàn bộ
The relevance of ‘work-practice’ for designSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 Số 4 - Trang 263-280 - 1995
Button, Graham, Harper, Richard
Designers are increasingly being urged to take account of the situated and contingent organisation of the work that their systems are to support or automate. Within CSCW the concept of work-practice is a much used token for the organisation of work. This paper develops the debate about the position of work-practice in design by recognising that it is an ambiguous concept in sociology that is used ...... hiện toàn bộ
The politics of networking technology in health careSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 109-130 - 2013
Ole Hanseth, Kari Thoresen, Langdon Winner
The theme of the paper is the tension between centralization and the need for standardization versus the need for locally developed organization and use of information technology. Unanticipated side effects have always existed in IT-based organization change. However, the trend towards integration, both within and across organizational boundaries, may amplify the diversity and scope of such effect...... hiện toàn bộ
Room for Silence: Ebola Research, Pluralism and the Pragmatic Study of Sociomaterial PracticesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 27 Số 3 - Trang 389-425 - 2018
Holeman, Isaac
The notion of sociomaterial practices speaks to a view of routine work in which people and materials are always already entangled. This implies that the commonsense tendency to treat concrete materials and social activity as separate analytical categories may actually muddy more than illuminate our understanding of practices. Engaging work from science and technology studies, this broad view of ma...... hiện toàn bộ
