Digital Footprints: Strategic Advice Team

数字足迹数据（DFD）有可能彻底改变我们参与和解决我们世界面临的重大挑战的能力-但只有通过有意识的努力来理解和塑造现有的DFD景观。在这一更广泛的背景下，国家研究理事会发挥着独特的作用：战略性投资的能力，以及围绕数据访问、集成和效用设定期望的可见度，以及培训、基础设施、道德和能力建设。我们的目标是通过组建战略咨询团队，为ESRC在DFD竞技场领域的影响力做出贡献，其目的是（1）增加对DFD前景和参与选区的了解，并确保将这种了解有效地传达给ESRC，以及（2）最大限度地提高ESRC数字足迹（DF）投资的可见性、领导力和“支持”，以及相关的数据相关投资，如未来数据服务。我们通过开发和领导一个结构化和包容性的机制来完成这些任务，以便为ESRC DF提供和综合专家战略建议。我们的活动涉及各种各样的支持者，从数据提供者到研究人员，再到研究成果的用户。我们同时协调和提供“信号增强”，以建立对DF的一系列产品的兴奋，兴趣和意识。为了实现我们的目标，我们组建了一个战略咨询团队（PI & Co-Is），汇集了计算社会科学，行业研究，数字文化，数据科学和空间分析方面的专家。该团队涵盖一系列学科、职业阶段和专业背景。此外，两所大学（纽卡斯尔和利物浦）、艾伦·图灵研究所和微软之间的合作确保了一系列专业知识和观点融入所有咨询活动。我们专注于数据提供商和访问、数据基础设施、容量和培训以及有影响力的应用程序。我们通过人员和网络的结合以及收集、综合和传播信息的4个活动流来实现我们的愿景，以帮助我们实现四个目标：1.通过汇集整个DFD社区专业知识的国际咨询小组2连接分散的DFD格局。通过问卷调查和结构化德尔菲访谈（以咨询小组的专业知识为基础），对DFD进行盘点和绘制。通过在当前和未来的DFD受赠者、咨询小组成员和更广泛的社区之间进行知识共享和建立网络，扩大ESRC投资的价值4。通过战略咨询团队的可见性、研讨会和数字数据潜水活动以及各种项目产出，支持并突出ESRC数据基础设施投资，包括DF和未来数据服务活动。简而言之，这4个活动流是：访谈和库存：问卷调查和14名咨询小组成员的访谈，以及一个潜在的“雪球样本”，内容涉及成功的数字足迹投资。参与和咨询研讨会：9场活动，汇集咨询小组、用户社区和利益相关者，探讨与DFD相关的一系列特定主题并提供意见。数字数据潜水：4次实践会议，将用户和数据提供者聚集在一起，对特定主题的访问、分析和输出管道进行为期一天的探索，产生“用例”，突出DFD的潜力，应用于重要的研究和社会挑战。成果，冠军和影响：持续向ESRC提供专家和知情的战略建议，以及6份报告，用于推动与DF战略咨询小组、未来数据服务团队的讨论，和DFD利益相关者。通过正式和非正式的网络、研讨会、数据潜水以及与咨询小组的沟通，宣传ESTC DF倡议。

Digital Footprints Data (DFD) have the potential to revolutionise our capacity to engage with and solve the grand challenges that face our world--but only with intentional efforts to understand and shape the existing DFD landscape. In this broader context, national research councils play a unique role: the capacity to strategically invest and the visibility to set expectations around data access, integration, and utility, as well as training, infrastructure, ethics and capacity building.We aim to contribute to the ESRC's impact in the DFD arena through the formation of a Strategic Advice Team, which aims to (1) increase understanding of the DFD landscape and participating constituencies and ensure this understanding is communicated effectively to the ESRC and (2) maximise visibility, leadership and 'buy-in' to the ESRC's DigitalFootprints (DF) investment, as well as related data-related investments such as Future Data Services.We accomplish these tasks by developing and leading a structured and inclusive mechanism for contributing and synthesizing expert strategic advice to ESRC DF. Our activities engage with a variety of constituencies, from data providers to researchers, to users of research outputs. We simultaneously coordinate and provide "signal boost" for DF that builds excitement, interest and awareness of its suite of offerings.To accomplish our goals, we assemble a Strategic Advice Team (PI & Co-Is) that brings together experts in computational social science, industry research, digital culture, data science and spatial analytics. Together, the Team covers a range of disciplines, career stages and professional contexts. In addition, the collaboration across two universities (Newcastle and Liverpool), the Alan Turing Institute and Microsoft ensures a range of expertise and perspectives are woven into all advisory activities.We focus on data providers and access, data infrastructure, capacity and training, and impactful applications. We operationalise our vision through a combination of people and networks and 4 streams of activities that collect, synthesize and disseminate information to help us meet our four objectives:1. Connect a fragmented DFD landscape through an international Advisory Group that assembles expertise from across the entire DFD community2. Inventory and Map the DFD landscape through questionnaires and structured Delphi interviews that are anchored in Advisory Group expertise3. Amplify value of ESRC investments through knowledge sharing and networking among current and future DFD grantees, Advisory Group members, and the wider community4. Champion and highlight ESRC Data Infrastructure investments, including DF and Future Data Services activities, through visibility of Strategic Advice Team, workshop and Digital Data Dive activities and a diverse range of project outputsThe 4 streams of activity are, in brief: Interviews and Inventory: questionnaires and interviews with 14 Advisory Group members and a potential 'snowball sample' regarding options and requirements for a successful DigitalFootprints investment.Engagement and Consultation Workshops: 9 events that bring together Advisory Group, user community and stakeholders to explore and offer input on a set of specific topics related to DFD.Digital Data Dives: 4 hands-on meetings that bring users and data providers together for day-long explorations of the access, analysis, outputs pipeline for specific topics, producing "use cases" that highlight the potential of DFD, as applied to important research and societal challenges.Outcomes, Championship and Impact: expert and informed strategic advice provided on an ongoing basis to the ESRC and 6 reports that serve to drive discussion with the DF strategic advisory group, the Future Data Services team, and DFD stakeholders. Championing ESTC DF initiatives through formal and informal networking, workshops, Data Dives and in communications with Advisory Group.
