Meeting Outcomes -- To-Dos

  1. Alanna and Jamal to complete  their scoping paradigm research reports.
  2. Everyone to add questions to the research questions page.
  3. Ryan & Sage to assess the "lists" of journalism and keep scratchsheet of what appear to be the most important and useful metrics that they will allow us to utilize in assessing candidate publications for our corpus.
  4. Alanna to consult with subject librarian(s).
  5. Sage & Ryan & Teddy to add columns for "representativeness" facets on the "Individual Sources By Medium Sheet" in our data sheet . (See Alan's Whiteboard from last week's meeting for the facets/criteria we were considering)
  6. [To be discussed in future: how to express our "representativeness" facets equivalently in a spreadsheet, the Manifest schema, and Graphviz so that we can:
  7. Ryan & Sage to mark completed rows in the "Database Sources" sheet of the datasheet, and to assign RAs to rows that still have to be researched.
  8. Task B group to begin populating the "Task B Brainstorming" sheet in the datasheet with suggestions for additional database and other resources to research

Goals for Upcoming Aug. 17th "summit meeting" on sources research:

  • Assess and prioritize database sources to concentrate on based on research completed on the "Database Sources" sheet of the datasheet.
  • Discuss how to express our "representativness facets" in the Manifest schema and Graphviz.
  • Discuss Teddy's idea for normalizing number of articles to include in each category & publication when topic modeling (we may defer this issue because Teddy can't make the Aug. 17th meeting)
  • Set up for main task of the remaining part of summer (late August through September): populating the "Individual Sources By Medium Sheet" in our data sheet with candidate publications to be collected for the WE1S corpus.
