Automated integration of mission reports for fire and civil protection into a central data and collaboration space
No full textFire brigade operations centers and public safety answering points are important actors in fire and civil protection. Part of their work, as an emergency response service, is the creation, management and evaluation of mission reports along rescue events. While the coordination of these parties in joint missions is of utmost importance, the detailed reporting of the rescue events is likewise mandatory and necessary to keep track of the happenings and resources on site as well as to maintain traceability. In Germany, on the federal state level, common standards and harmonized terminology regarding data on the management, coordination and format of resources used in civil protection are still lacking. Some federal states, administrative districts have even established their own workflows and formats for mission reports, hampering interoperability and making aggregation of data and statistics on missions of actors in fire and civil protection cumbersome and costly. To overcome these challenges, we develop a concept for a common format and handling of mission reports for the federal state Rhineland-Palatinate and their automatic integration into the central data portal BKS-Portal.rlp. Desk research and interviews are used to gather requirements, followed by developing a prototype using SCRUM
Vorwort zur 7. Fachtagung RVI 2024
No full textErfolgreiche, nachhaltige und Ressourcen schonende Digitalisierung von Staat und öffentlicher Verwaltung erfordern neue, effektivere Herangehensweisen sowie stärkere Zusammenarbeit und Vernetzung der Akteure. Bürgerinnen und Bürger, Beschäftigte im öffentlichen Dienst, Unternehmen und zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen erwarten von der öffentlichen Hand, dass sie ihre Leistungen niedrigschwellig, nutzerorientiert, nachhaltig und zeitgemäß anbietet. Vielfach wird hinsichtlich Digitalisierung und Digitaler Transformation Deutschlands öffentliche Verwaltung aber kritisiert, dass die Maßnahmen Bürokratie verstärken anstatt sie abzubauen. Fehlschlagende Digitalvorhaben bremsen die Entwicklung unserer gesamten Gesellschaft und beschädigen das Vertrauen in Politik, Staat und öffentlicher Verwaltung. Die gemeinsame Fachtagung Rechts- und Verwaltungsinformatik der GI hat das Ziel, den Dialog zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis zu befördern und die digitale Transformation von Staat und Verwaltung durch wissenschaftlich gesicherte Erkenntnisse substanziell voranzubringen. Der Tagungsband enthält insgesamt 15 wissenschaftliche Beitrgäge der RVI 2024 und des Workshops IT-Kompetenzen fr die digitale Verwaltung der Zukunft der Informatik-Jahrestagung
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Workshop on Policy-Making as a Research Field in Complex Systems in Digital Sciences
No full textThe field of policy-making is changing driven by developments like open data, computational methods for processing data, opining mining, all combined with public engagement, social media and participatory tools. To take advantage of these development in the digital world new approaches, concepts, instruments and methods are needed which are able to deal with societal and computational complexity. This requires the knowledge traditionally find in different disciplines including public administration, policy analyses, information systems, complex systems and computer science. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from various disciplines within a single workshop. This workshop will serve as a platform for exchanging ideas and initiating collaborations
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
