[MCN-L] IP-SIG: US Appeals Court rules in favor of Google¹s Book Scanning Project (Fair Use)

[Fournier, Melissa]

>From Judge Pierre Leval’s summary opinion:

"Google's unauthorized digitizing of copyright-protected works, creation of a 
search functionality, and display of snippets from those works are 
non-infringing fair uses.  The purpose of the copying is highly transformative, 
the public display of text is limited, and the revelations do not provide a 
significant market substitute for the protected aspects of the originals.”

[MCN-L] Our FactMiners/PRImA entry -- Turn Text Soup into Smart Data -- in the Knight News Challenge

[Jim Salmons]

Hello MCNers!

We are very pleased to point you to our entry in the current challenge:
"Turn Text Soup into Smart Data in Newspaper & Magazine Archives"
(https://goo.gl/99Vn5M) 

As two post-cancer #PayItForward Citizen Scientists in Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
we are very pleased to be collaborating with Apostolos Antonacopoulos and
Christian Clausner, two world-class research scientists at the PRImA
Research Center of the U. of Salford, Manchester, UK. Our innovative project
that is the focus of our Knight News Challenge entry will open the newspaper
and magazine collections of the Internet Archive to new levels of Open Data
access and utility.

The current Knight News Challenge is focused on Data. In particular, the
Knight Foundation is interested in innovative ideas for making Open Data
more accessible and useful to Individuals and Communities. All entries,
including ours, are currently in "feedback" (and "applause") mode before
final evaluation by the Knight Review folks.

If you have a few minutes, please drop by and check out our entry. You'll
find prominent links to four short "silent Ignite Talk" video slideshows to
quickly get you familiar with our project. After visiting our entry, please
feel free to sample from among the over 1,000 entries that showcase the
range of ideas folks have about making data more accessible and useful.

Happy-Healthy Vibes,

[MCN-L] Proving how the impact of promotional calls-to-action varies by player result within your web games

[Andrew Lewis]

Dear MCN peeps,

Ahead of my session at this year's MCN conference "Designing Evidence: Planning 
the Data You Track to Capture Specific Behaviour", here's the latest Digital 
Media post from the V blog, which outlines one of the ways we have been using 
these techniques. It's a nice simple run-down of the data we collected from a 
web game and what it tells us.
http://www.vam.ac.uk/blog/digital-media/how-people-really-react-when-judged-as-shown-by-game-data

It describes the results of tracking the interactions of individual players 
within the game "The Definery", made to support a recent exhibition: "What is 
Luxury?". This game is a simple and fun provocation, that allows you to subject 
your prized possessions to be judged as luxury or vulgar, based on questions 
that probe your emotional attachment, your likelihood of bigging it up and 
things like its cost and so on.

During the build of this game, we set up Google Analytics Event Tracking 
coupled with a bit of cookie setting, which allowed us to identify the various 
actions within an individual game session. There was some dynamic setting of 
variables that could store behavioural feedback and send as a package into our 
stats. This was deployed using Tag Manager, based on structured id and class 
naming within the html. This post shows the data.

The results represent the individual reaction of people from over 12,000 
individual game plays. The data showed a clear pattern that players who 
received a positive (luxury) rating of their item were twice as likely to 
respond to calls-to-action like sharing the game or accessing exhibition 
content.

This sort of data capture is useful if you want to move beyond blunt success 
metrics like number of page loads or number of app downloads. I think quite a 
lot of people on this list might find it of use.

Finally, as well as being able to measure the value of calls to action 
depending on differing game experience of course, we also captured the objects 
submitted. This also means we got the occasional amusingly naughty reference to 
bodily parts in the objects people submitted as well as handbags, scarves, 
vintage posters. Win, win!

For any MCN2015 attendees, I'll be looking at this and other data capture 
applications such as linking prior motivation to actual behaviour, tracking all 
the interactions within individual audioguide sessions (play, pause, search, 
replay, load tours etc.) and capturing why users' need large image downloads on 
our collection search.
