Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap Data Contribution Study

Hi Mike,

Our results will be published in a peer-reviewed conference or journal. 
This publication will, at a minimum, be considered a “Green Open Access” 
publication (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-archiving) and 
potentially will be a “Gold Open Access” 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access_journal) one. After 
publication, our research group also blogs about our publications in an 
open and understandable-to-non-researchers way as well. Hopefully this 
answers your question. Definitely let me know if it does not.


Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew,

Thanks for your response and your willingness to engage the community.

It is great to see research being done on OSM.  My personal belief is that
research can help accelerate the acceptance and growth and success of OSM.

I am not on the board of the OSMF, perhaps someone that is, or someone who
at least has a better memory than I, can respond.

For starters, under what license will your results be published?

Mike

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your question. We definitely want to perform our research 
project within the guidelines that the OSM community operates within. We 
are fairly comfortable with the OSM wiki pages and documentation and 
haven’t come across documentation indicating that the OSM Foundation 
should review research proposals as you mentioned. If this review 
process exists, this is something we would certainly like to be aware 
of. If you could point us to the documentation, we would greatly 
appreciate it.


Thanks,
Andrew

I thought I had read somewhere that the OSM Foundation was supposed to
review research proposals and recommend for or against participation at
least partly based upon whether the results would be released under an open
license.  Is that the case, and if so, what is the recommendation regarding
this project?

Thanks,
Mike

[OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap Data Contribution Study

[hall]

Hello,

Our names are Andrew Hall and Sarah McRoberts and we are Ph.D. students 
and researchers within GroupLens Research at the University of 
Minnesota. We are currently undertaking a study on data contribution 
within OpenStreetMap and would greatly appreciate any OpenStreetMap 
contributors who are willing to talk about their experiences. 
Specifically, we are interested in 1) contributors of any type of 
geographic map data to OpenStreetMap AND/OR 2) contributors to the 
OpenStreetMap wiki pages (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org). The interview 
is short and will definitely not take more than 60 minutes (probably 
closer to 30 minutes) and will be held by video-chat/voice-chat or 
phone. Participants will receive a $10 USD Amazon gift card. We would 
sincerely appreciate any volunteers. We would love to talk to you about 
OpenStreetMap! You can reach us at h...@cs.umn.edu or mcrob...@umn.edu.


Thank you,

Andrew and Sarah
