=== Mastodon/Twitter Paper announcement use case ===


* One of the common norms that have developed on academic social media (Twitter/Mastodon) is announcement/summary threads of one’s paper. e.g.: https://hci.social/web/@Mor/109309396530932422 (others of interest: job market announcements, taking PhD announcements)
* Imagine if you could create for yourself a unique, short, readable identifier for a paper, and add that in your post thread about your paper announcement.
** Possible syntax:
*** <code>@mor:crisis-informatics</code> user namespace
**** downsides: there are multiple authors, so an author may feel left out if another author's id gets used more often or authors could coalesce around one author (ie, 1st author)
*** <code><nowiki>#</nowiki>cscw22:crisis-informatics</code> conference namespace
**** downsides: possibility for name conflicts, you could use the conference ID but it's not very readable
* Things you could do as a result:
** Presentation: put all your different paper threads on your academic webpage and associated with each paper, for example
** Synthesis: collect all the paper announcements for a conference/topic and organize/synthesize it using other tools
** Discussion: people could reference your identifier in their conversations, and a bot could post the paper announcement thread as a reply (https://hci.social/web/@lewischuang/109331737391363720)
** Discussion: you could collect all discussion around your paper in a separate place, or a bot could post pingbacks on the original paper announcement thread

=== Sharing attention data on ActivityPub through Zotero (?) extension ===
* Attention data (~digital pheromone trails) is an important step in the knowledge synthesis pipeline- what am I looking at and my assessment of it
* Sharing attention data using linked data over ActivityPub-
** Pros- catching Mastodon wave, good expressivity but
** Cons- writing it manually creates friction and so reduces usage by researchers
* An extension can create automatic linked data posts based on existing user activity in Zotero
** Adding a paper to a reading list
** Tagging
** Annotating inline, connecting pieces to other papers
** Reviewing/assessing/endorsing content
* Question - what are interesting downstream applications for attention data?
** Content recommendation
** Layering paper viewers with endorsements/reviews, popular tags & annotations
*References

(others of interest: job market announcements, taking PhD announcements)
Imagine if you could create for yourself a unique, short, readable identifier for a paper, and add that in your post thread about your paper announcement.
Possible syntax:
@mor:crisis-informatics //user namespace
<nowiki>#</nowiki>cscw22:crisis-informatics //conference namespace
Things you could do as a result:
- put all your different paper threads on your webpage and associated with each paper
- collect all the paper announcements for a conference
- people could reference your identifier in their conversations, and a bot could post the paper announcement thread as a reply (<nowiki>https://hci.social/web/@lewischuang/109331737391363720</nowiki>)
