- So we had a question, who are the visitors of SPs? And a file with electronic use data ...the challenge then was how to analyse the data and to know how robust the data are. Identify:We decided to start with identifying “the users”. Web analytics packages can be used to generate information on the visitors (users), notably through identification of the names of the visiting Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Through the name of the ISP, (i.e. ‘Vrije Universiteit’) we may be able to identify the nature and activities of the users. Clusters: Additionally, and next to identification we also wanted to cluster the ISP into categories that make sense for evaluation purposes We were in particular interested to see the partition of academic users versus other educational users and sectors such as government and business as this could tell us something about the (societal) impact of the e-infrastructure.
- The social scientists produced a 181-term filter set after many hours of effort that gave 94% accuracy, whereas the computer scientist produced a 6-term filter set in a couple of minutes that gave 84% accuracy. The tested computer-aided filtering reached a higher precision than the manually‑developed filter (98% vs 92%) though for the recall in this initial test favored the manual approach (73% vs 97%).
- Meaningful categories in this context are categories that The manual process highlighted a problem with continuing to use keywords to categorize ISPs. Some categories are easily made up from words in the name of the full ISP such as “university” or “research” and could be grouped under the tier one category “research & education”. However, this approach is limited. For example, to simply categorize all ISPs who had within their name the terms “health” or “medic*” as “public health” meant that a range of research, educational, governmental and corporate affiliated ISPs were wrongly classified. Therefore, we were encouraged to categorize ISPs using classifiers rather than by extending our work with filters.
- Interdisciplinary work of CS and SS will bring to e-science enhanced insights on the actual use and usage of the e-science environment based on robust (log) data and analysis, in a relative short amount of time 2. Social science will benefit from working with CS because of increased scale and speed of data collection and analysis and for their insight in the technological boundaries/charateritics. 3. CS will benefit because collaboration provides opportunity to demonstrate their engineering insights (tool building for the e-science facility as well as tools for analyzing social science data sets); 2) access to large datasets with behavioral/user information which are nice cases to test computer science theories Possible costs: Above we listed several reasons for collaboration between e-science facilities, computer science and social sciences, nevertheless every collaboration does have costs: it requires time in planning and communication. Furthermore, collaborators support each other’s work often at the costs advancing their own research
