  15. Document Visualization • 10 week summer project • Uses the Google API • Alternative user interface to sort and conceptualise a web search

  16. Document Visualization • User types in Search Term • GoogleAPI called with ST • Cached copy obtained for top 10 • HTML parsed and analysed to extract keywords • GoogleAPI called with ST+keyword • Results analysed to allocate relationship strengths between URLs and keywords • Modified TouchGraph presents this

  17. Document Visualization • User types in Search Term • GoogleAPI called with ST • Cached copy obtained for top 10 • HTML parsed and analysed to extract keywords • GoogleAPI called with ST+keyword • Results analysed to allocate relationship strengths between URLs and keywords • Modified TouchGraph presents this • 20 calls • 10 calls • 15*10 • ~20 = ~200 calls to GoogleAPI

  18. Traditional textual outputs (published papers, articles, books, chapters, tech reports, …) + Types of research outputs • Community knowledge • Processed data • Raw data • Sound / dialogue recording • Audio • Video • Consultancy reports

  19. Case Study One : Kia Ng • Outputs for a project that has just started • In the beginning… email is important • Use Wiki to share docs • Contracts, Budgets, Diarys (EU proprietary) • Year financial statement • Kia sends 30GB a day to EC • Consortium agreement (physical signature)

  23. Case Study Two : Mark Priestley • Based on ESSL “Support for your Research” • My research plan (reviewed yearly) (PDP) • Building a research culture • ULPD keywords used to indicate expertise • Communication strategy • Finding funding • Notes on conversation with resource mentor

  24. Case Study Two : Mark Priestley • Write research proposal • Want: My applications, past and present • Work out realistic budget • Submitting a proposal (JeS) • Letters, referee’s comments, etc. • Approval • Costing, ethical, HoS • COSTA schedule • Case for support • Application form

  25. Case Study Two : Mark Priestley Start project • Accept the award • Open a research account • Appoint new staff, sub-contractors • Communications, job description, advert Manage project • Track expenditure, manage time + workload

  26. Case Study Two : Mark Priestley Finish project • Delivering promised output • End of project report • Annual reports • Working papers • Publications • (details of events, external publications) • Publicise outputs • Dissemination
