Coordinating decentralized research with lab discourse graphs

Abstract: Our presenter will show how our cell biology lab uses discourse graphs as the coordination layer for collective research. Discourse graphs break scientific research into its atomic components - questions, claims, and evidence - and connect them into a graph. The research found that for ongoing research, discourse graphs enable researchers to orient toward their chosen research question and track their emerging results that test their hypotheses. This has allowed researchers to find modular research projects and share discrete results with sufficient context for others to understand and build upon. Researchers report streamlined thinking, better orientation toward their target question, and a sense of accomplishment for contributing tangible results usable by other researchers

The Metagovernance Seminar invites individuals working in online governance to present their work to a community of other researchers and practitioners. Topics of the seminar include, but are not limited to, computational tools for governance, governance incidents and case studies from online communities, topics in cryptoeconomics, and the design of digital constitutions.

The seminar is intended for researchers and practitioners in online governance, broadly defined. We welcome guests and curious members of the public, but please note that the discussion is moderated. Our governance structure is defined here: metagov.pubpub.org/metagov-governance

Please contact a planning committee member (Nathan Schneider, Divya Siddarth, Michael Zargham, Joshua Tan, and Seth Frey) if you are interested in becoming a member of the seminar.

Where available, a direct link to the archived video is linked beneath the video tags.
