Computer-Aided Ethnography using Telescope, Obsidian, and KOI

Abstract: This seminar will be a demonstration by a group of Metagov resaerchers including Ellie Rennie, Brooke Ann Coco, Kelsie Nabben, and Luke Miller.

​The seminar will demo how they are augmenting ethnographic practices with computational tools, including:

​Metagov’s ‘Telescope’, a data consent tool that actively engages participants in the research towards more ethical, participatory ethnographic practice.

​A bespoke Obsidian vault, and associated plugins, for collecting, structuring and annotating sources and field notes

​BlockScience’s KOI to share research data for a multi-sided, large data volume ethnography.

​These innovations sit in the context of the ADM+S project on ‘Artificial Organisational Intelligence’, which is about making organisation-level knowledge machine-readable so that it may be accessible and legible to humans through AI.

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.
