Commons-based Cases in EM

Summary of Item

Commons based cases (the cases that we know will appear in the right part of the quadrants)

Identify cases
Correlate them with their main outputs (Data. Narratives. Tools)
How and in what extent they are “experimenting” or “adopting” commons-based approach. Are they adopting OA policies, for instance? Are they adopting Social Responsible License approaches?
Identify these cases and treat them as entities that will also be placed in our mapping device (the quadrants)
Identify what actors are participating on this and what actors are just observers (Use the questionnaire to guide your research when appropriate - Carol will select specific relevant and helpful questions)

Main Outputs: narratives (as modularized EM such as suggested by Benkler (2005, 7))
Extent of Commons-based Approach
Adoption of OA Policies
Adoption of Socially Responsible Licenses
