HUMANE Survey for REVEAL project: Human-Machine Network Characterisation

<p>The objective of the HUMANE project is to provide a framework and method for classifying and analysing the characteristics of<br> such networks (collectively called HumanMachine Networks (HMNs)), inform design and policy making, and provide<br> recommendations for R&amp;I actions. In order to perform these tasks, HUMANE is revisiting current or recent ICT projects and<br> performing surveys in order to collect feedback about the implications of HMNs and recommendations for design practices.</p> <p>In this survey we focus on the REVEAL project (http://revealproject.eu) as an example of a HMN that provides advanced content<br> aggregationfilteringcuration and recommendation tools for making a higher level analysis of social media possible, enabling<br> users to reveal hidden ‘modalities’ such as reputation, influence or credibility of information. In the REVEAL use case, journalists<br> interact with information sources, the public and other journalists, and use the developed tools for revealing information with<br> respect to social media contributors (source of the information), content (the information itself) and context.</p> <p> </p>
