Comparison for /Concept of 2008-07-16 05:24:59 and 2008-07-18 15:46:20

Additions:

Researchers and stakeholders (such as SMEs, organizations of general welfare) are equipped by funding agencies with a budget for pledging, which cannot be used for projects with a conflict of interest.
Project in progress: investigators report publicly (e.g. via a Weblog) on progress. This enable stakeholders to be contiguously involved, e.g. by suggesting changes in requirements or pointing out promising alternatives avenues for investigation that may appear.

Deletions:

Researchers and stakeholders (such as SMEs, organizations of general welfare) are equipped by funding agencies with a budget for pledging, which can not be used for projects with a conflict of interest.
Project is running: involved investigators report publicly (e.g. Weblog) about the proceeding, enables stakeholders to influence the projects e.g. on changed requirements or promising alternative approaches appear

We envision the technical realization of the ParticipatoryResearch platform to:

encourage small effortless contributions (e.g. comments, polls) by using Web 2.0 techniques.
syndicate all content published on the platform
employ semantic technologies, such as tagging and folksonomies, vocabularies for the end-user driven structuring and annotation of ideas, projects, results and comments
incorporate social networking elements, collaborate and discuss ideas and topics in groups and have a personalized views on a neighborhood of peer researchers and research topics

Additions:

The envisioned ParticipatoryResearch process roughly proceeds allong the following steps:

Researchers publish ideas for interesting research topics on the Participatory Research platform as early as possible.
Other researchers and stakeholders comment on the research ideas, add requirements and pledge a certain amount of a virtual research currency they would be willing to �pay� for a successful realization.
Researchers and stakeholders (such as SMEs, organizations of general welfare) are equipped by funding agencies with a budget for pledging, which can not be used for projects with a conflict of interest.
Once a project idea received enough pledges the funding agency provides the funds for the project to be executed.
Project is running: involved investigators report publicly (e.g. Weblog) about the proceeding, enables stakeholders to influence the projects e.g. on changed requirements or promising alternative approaches appear
Project finished: results are published on the platform, everybody is invited to comment on the success, but only the stakeholders (i.e. those who pledged) are eligible to vote about the success / to write an evaluation report.
Evaluation reports are publicly available and build track records of researchers.

Currently, Participatory Research is just a concept (although a first simplified version of the platform exists with Cofundos). In order to establish the concept successfully the following problems have to be solved:

refine the concept into a comprehensive a prediction market model for research funding which considers privacy, security/safety and provenance aspects,
implementing a Web platform for organising this market and the participatory research process,
persuade research funding agencies to use this platform for managing (a part of) their research portfolio.
