01
Identify the platform from which you want to gather the data.
02
Design your query in order to find the best set of words that represents your investigation, based also on the platform you just chose.
03
Use the Tools to gather data from the platform you choose in order to create your dataset of images.
04
Check manually the consistency of your dataset and eventually clean it from elements that are not related to your research field.
05
Decide the kind of network you want to create between the options you have (based on the platform you chose):
A
Map the connection between the elements based on the platforms metadata.
B
Map the content of the images through API analysis.
06
Create a Network based on the choice you just made:
A
According to the platform you choose in the point 1 use one of the tool (Netvizz or Gazouilloire) that will generate a Gephi network.
B
Use the tool Table2Net in order to create a Network that you could explore in Gephi.
08
Design and Print your network for your co-designing session.
09
Analyze the network during the co-design session: thanks the images-network all the participant will jump quickly inside the research field.
10
Use this process to start conversations, generating new ideas and combining them into robust solutions.
WHAT NEXT
Open Mic
Focus on one idea and generate between 3 and 5 statements that describe the main characteristic of that group. Than use these statements as a starting point to bring further the conversation inside the working team.
Flat Earth
Focus on one cluster, identify an obviousness (common behaviour) between all the elements of the group and try to deny it. By doing that you will stimulate further the conversation inside the work team.
Super Jump
Focus on one cluster and find a common and relevant characteristic inside it. Once you identify it, step into a "parallel world", in which your characteristic plays an important role. Build another dataset that is representative of this parallel world; analyze it and find its strengths. Once you identify them, try to shift these strengths inside your research field.
