Abstract

"Our present era of digital communication presents endless opportunities for the collection and analysis of social data in new and novel ways. It also presents new and unanticipated ways to fail, as researchers are often inventing elements of their methodologies on the fly or studying a phenomena or media platform for the first time. In Research Exposed, Eszter Hargittai and her team of experienced researchers offer detailed behind-the-scenes accounts of conducting empirical social science research in the digital age. It brings vivid first-hand accounts of innovative research projects and introduces readers to a wide range of digital age methods, including data scraping, surveys, in-person observations, and on-line content analysis. The chapters draw on lessons learned from over a dozen scholars by addressing the methodological challenges that researchers faced when gathering and analyzing data. Some of the essays focus on the behind-the-scenes challenges when applying familiar research methods like interviewing, ethnographic work, and secondary data analysis to digital media, while others examine the challenges associated with pioneering genres of research associated with new media such as data scraping. The goal of the book is provide insight for those who want to do their own digital research about how mistakes can be made and avoided"--

Abstract

Online reputation management deals with monitoring and influencing the online record of a person, an organization or a product. The Social Web offers increasingly simple ways to publish and disseminate personal or opinionated information, which can rapidly have a disastrous influence on the online reputation of some of the entities. The author focuses on the Social Web and possibilities of its integration with the Semantic Web as resource for a semi-automated tracking of online reputations using imprecise natural language terms. The inherent structure of natural language supports humans not only in communication but also in the perception of the world. Thereby fuzziness is a promising tool for transforming those human perceptions into computer artifacts. Through fuzzy grassroots ontologies, the Social Semantic Web becomes more naturally and thus can streamline online reputation management. For readers interested in the cross-over field of computer science, information systems, and social sciences, this book is an ideal source for becoming acquainted with the evolving field of fuzzy online reputation management in the Social Semantic Web area.
