The topic of spatial syntax is one that is heavily dependent upon established metrics. My research over the past year has focused on linking the metrics of spatial syntax with indications of knowledge flows. We'd like to bring a discussion of these metrics to ASIST this year in hopes of sparking a discussion about how our physical environments may be influencing knowledge flows. I've attached the proposal template we've developed for your consideration. While we have identified speakers for the panel, we'd be happy to make changes to ensure that your SIG's interests are properly represented. I realize this is short notice. Thank you for considering our invitation. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you'd like to chat via skype or an online meeting. We can make changes to the proposal until Wednesday.

I don't see much overlap with what we typically cover. Their proposal sounds much more in line with social informatics, not metrics as we typically cover them. I like the idea of the knowledge flow model in working environs, but I'm not sure the coverage of the physical-spatial component would map with what we normally investigate. But I'm not versed in this topic, so perhaps I'm misunderstanding the potential overlap. I don't know if there's a problem with us endorsing this, but if we do, I think we'd expect to have someone on the panel.

I think the question is, do we gain more or lose more from co-endorsing the panel? Personally, I think we might gain more from opening up divergent ideas.

I do see the overlap in what you describe (in fact, I had thought of doing something similar to your geographical proximity idea last year). I don't think we lose anything from co-endorsing the panel and if we can't think of anyone from SIGMET to add to the panel, then so be it. Just my 2 cents.

One interesting factoid is that the SIG annual budgets are now due in June, since ASIST has a new fiscal year cycle which starts July 1. Our current plans are pretty well set (holding the workshop, giving awards, offering reduced membership fees for students), but we could also propose things such as buying promotional materials (mug, t-shirt?), or hosting a social event or dinner after the workshop. Just food for thought for anyone who has ideas.... Neil -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: We should hear about the workshop acceptance on May 4th. After that, we can invite keynote speaker(s) as well as solicit papers, etc. I was thinking of possibly inviting George Santangelo to speak on the Relative Citation Ratio, which has gathered a lot of interest and a tiny bit of controversy. Anyone in favor or opposed? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
