Sensemaking Networks: Project Introduction

my notes ( ? )

"the Astera Institute... is launching the visionary Entrepreneur-In-Residence EIR program to catalyze the upgrading of our aging infrastructure for science publishing and communication", and Ronen's project will be developed with partners including Common Sensemakers.

The project: "Sensemaking Networks... social media designed for scientists and other knowledge workers, combining the strengths of AI-augmented social media networks with decentralized semantic nanopublishing."

This post is on the Why:

"science social media is part of the sensemaking layer of science that helps us to collaboratively communicate, contextualize, curate and assess research...
sensemaking is messy, and social media involves non-scientists, so it gets ignored, particularly as we can't easily measure it
science sensemaking via social media is fragmented, dominated by for-profit platforms and publishers, and researchers dont have tools needed

Interesting: "Nanopublications ... representing very small units of knowledge ... a sentence or two in natural language... employ Semantic Web principles to represent publications as small knowledge graphs ... can express virtually any kind of knowledge ... in many ways, researchers are already nanopublishing on social media, but just don’t know it yet"

So "We envision Sensemaking Networks as federated/decentralized Twitter-style social networks where posts are nanopublications, and data is open and FAIR... AI will play multiple key roles "
