This motivates the exploration of how creative teaching concepts might look like in order to form those relevant competencies. Citizen science, as a collaborative approach to scientific research, engages citizens in almost all forms in working with data that is meaningful to them. As such, this paper seeks to examine the potential of digital citizen science in enabling to practice and gain data literacy knowledge. To do so, this paper is focusing on the design of multi-project citizen science platforms through a structured artifact review. Furthermore, we gain insight through a qualitative interview study from 14 interviews (citizens, researchers, and technical experts), drawing conclusions on current platform designs as well as potentials and challenges for their further development. Our results show, on the one hand, that platforms provide a variety of ways to interact with different kinds of data while offering a simple and user-friendly design. On the other hand, functions for communication and support could be further developed and learning opportunities for citizens comprise several, but not all aspects of data literacy.","PeriodicalId":506509,"journal":{"name":"IADIS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139321393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When developing a text analysis process, we often make notes for identifying and characterizing concepts and relationships, or highlighting aspects in the text that could go unnoticed by some of its readers. In addition, text annotation can enrich the semantics of texts, giving them more value through the introduction of comments, explanations, references, among many other things. Today, most text annotation processes are carried out helped by computational tools, whose functionalities make it possible to simplify the most elementary annotation tasks and substantially reduce the annotation time. The annotation of old, unstructured texts is very relevant for all those who want to study and acquire knowledge about their contents. Annotating these texts makes them more accessible to people who are not experts in the domain or in the era in which they were produced. In this work we develop a specific annotation system, supported by natural language processing and machine learning tools, to reveal the knowledge contained in the Book of Properties – “Tombo da Mitra” –, a codex containing the inventory of the Archbishop's Table of Braga’s properties (Portugal) in the 17th century. This codex contains a huge amount and a wide variety of elements, containing names, nicknames, settlements, professions, types of land and buildings, among many others. All these elements are very important for studying and learning of geography, culture, economy, architecture, religion and Portuguese language until the 17th century. Annotating the Book of Properties makes possible to maintain a tag database for indexing the most relevant information contained in the book and make its knowledge accessible to a wider range of people.","PeriodicalId":506509,"journal":{"name":"IADIS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139321492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The digitization of content and the virtualization of the global information landscape has transformed the nature of library operations and the information-seeking behavior of users. In response, librarians must adapt to new competencies and face rapid technological change and innovations. The study presented in this article aims to achieve three objectives. Firstly, to survey the attitudes of librarians towards the potential use of emerging technologies in their professional environment, comprising cognitive, affective, and behavioral components. Secondly, to investigate the impact of a multilinear story on the attitudes of librarians towards the portrayed technologies, which deliberately shows different variants of the future. And finally, to determine whether there is a difference in attitudes towards emerging technologies between staff in academic and public libraries. The research design follows the method of Science Fiction Prototyping, which fosters critical reflection on the consequences of technological innovations. It comprises three main phases: identifying and analyzing the drivers shaping the future of the domain, developing the narrative to portray the impact of the technologies on people, and exposing the audience to the narrative and reflecting on the impact and resulting learnings. The study reveals a clear gap between cognitive and affective attitudes both before and after reading the narrative scenario. The portrayed technologies are in general overall more imaginable than desirable for the participating librarians. The conclusion is that librarians must engage proactively with emerging technologies and adopt new competencies to remain relevant in the 21st century. Science Fiction Prototyping offers a valuable approach to reflecting critically on the consequences of technological innovations and can contribute to better envisioning the specific use of emerging technologies in everyday work.","PeriodicalId":506509,"journal":{"name":"IADIS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139321529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DT encompasses the digitalization of internal processes, the provision of digital services and products, and the enhancement of the customer experience. Previous research has delved into different barriers that impede successful DT. In our study, we investigate further how these barriers are perceived by employees at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in contrast to larger enterprises (LEs). We employ a mixed-methods approach by performing a quantitative analysis using the Means, Mann-Whitney U test with effect size and integrating it with qualitative results converted into frequencies. Our empirical data consist of two samples consisting of participants from 189 SMEs and 221 LEs for quantitative analysis and participants from 238 SMEs and 281 LEs for qualitative analysis. Overall, the results suggest a relatively similar perception of DT processes, indicating culture and structure as major barriers. However, the establishment of resources dedicated to managing DT emerges as a vaster barrier for SMEs than for LEs. At the same time, SMEs face fewer barriers regarding general personnel resources.","PeriodicalId":506509,"journal":{"name":"IADIS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139321336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We established a quantitative model to capture the relationship between the characteristics of elderly users and their route preferences. Additionally, we evaluated a user adaptation methodology that incorporates user preference assessment and walking history data. “Acceptable detour time” was used as a measure of user preferences. As the primary plan, we suggested a method based on post-walking evaluations of route factors by the user, which was validated through an empirical walking experiment, highlighting the feasibility of our approach. However, this approach relies on user input for each route factor, raising concerns over user convenience. To address this issue, we extended our objective to devise a methodology that incorporates walking history, eliminating the need for user input. Drawing insights from an additional walking experiment, we formulated an alternative strategy for adjusting the acceptable detour time in our secondary plan. This strategy estimates the user's evaluation of each route factor by comparing the shortest route with the actual route walked. Application of this method to our experimental data demonstrated its utility and viability, but it also revealed an exacerbation of estimation error with updates in some situations, requiring further research to enhance the efficiency of our proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":506509,"journal":{"name":"IADIS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139321621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data responsibilities are represented by the Chief Data Office(r). The articles’ assumption is a disrelatedness between CDO and EA as enterprise functions. Where CDO is tasked to monitor and exploit data but might lack connectedness to other relevant business and technology functions to release the potential of the data-driven enterprise. The study is based on grounded research, especially use of the Gioia method, to guide and code semi-structured interviews with ten CDO professionals worldwide. Findings indicate business benefits of connecting or aligning CDO and EA functions and responsibilities in ideas of co-ownership and enterprise-wide collaboration on data resources. The over-arching rationale is velocity of change as represented by agile thinking. Agility can be considered broader and in a more committed form connecting enterprise and data in a proposed Enterprise Data Agility. A key practical implication is that the CDO function has been established to exploit data but are more tasked with data stewardship in form of reporting, integrity assurance, privacy, access policies and similar. The proposed agile thinking suggests more proactive and change-oriented actionability and measurability with a model ranging from isolated EA and CDO function and up to the holistic enterprise with an intense fabric of data and decision within and around the enterprise. Changes in data semantics are used as best indicators for risks and potentials of the enterprise. This article proposes a measurement scheme for assuring agility in the EA and CDO relationship aiming that changes can be accommodated faster and with more timely impact and risk mitigation.","PeriodicalId":506509,"journal":{"name":"IADIS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS","volume":"80 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139321636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through this research work, we seek to optimize the healthcare process of the infectious disease department of a hospital through the proposal of an approach that integrates IoT devices into the care process model. More generally, we propose the integration of a set of sensors in business processes and analyze their effect to improve their performance. Given the emergence of the covid-19 pandemic and the importance of the data processed by the Internet of Things (IoT), dealing with the associated security becomes fundamental. The latter will ensure the effectiveness of IoT as a solution which helps healthcare staff in controlling patients infected by the virus. To reach our objective we developed a Framework intended for the doctor which aims to group together the different measurements from the different IoT devices that can be used during COVID-19 health care. We tested the approach by collecting two different measures which are oxygen saturation and heart rate. These measurements were obtained thanks to an oximeter. Our approach is valid for a multi-sensor solution with several measured data. Given the lack of technical means to carry out a test with other devices, we relied on existing values measured in the Farhat Hached hospital in Sousse. We analysed them, by applying the decision tree technique which is one of the data mining techniques, in order to facilitate the diagnosis and improve the COVID-19 care process.","PeriodicalId":506509,"journal":{"name":"IADIS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL ON COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139321559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
