Inspired by the potentials of web-based collaboration, in 2014, a group of social scientists, students and information specialists started tinkering with software and methodology for open online collaborative research. The results of their research led to a gathering of academics at the #ethnography Conference Amsterdam 2014, where new material was collected, shared and collaboratively interpreted. Following the conference, they continued to develop software and methodology. In this contribution, we report on the aims, methodology, inspiring examples, caveats and results from testing several prototypes of open online research software. We conclude that open online collaborative interpretation is both feasible and desirable. Dialogue and reflexivity, we hold, are able to transcend separated perspectives and stimulate agreement on a set of distinct interpretations; they simultaneously respect the multiplicity of understandings of social phenomena whilst bringing order into this diversity.... view less

Inspiriert durch die Potenziale Web-basierter Zusammenarbeit haben Sozialwissenschaftler/innen, Studierende und ICT-Fachleute in 2014 begonnen, Software und Methodik für eine offene kollaborative Online-Forschung zu erarbeiten. Mithilfe einer ersten Version hat eine große Zahl Akademiker/innen während der #ethnography Konferenz in Amsterdam in 2014 Material gesammelt, miteinander geteilt und kollaborativ analysiert. In diesem Beitrag berichten wir über Ziele, Methodik, inspirierende Beispiele, Vorbehalte und Ergebnisse, die wir aus der Prüfung mehrerer Prototypen erhielten. Wir schließen daraus, dass offene kollaborative Online-Interpretation sowohl machbar als auch wünschenswert ist. Dialog und Reflexivität erlauben, unterschiedliche Perspektiven zu integrieren und Einigung über eine Reihe von möglichen Interpretationen zu erzielen. Die Vielfallt der Interpretationen sozialer Phänomene wird gleichzeitig respektiert und systematisiert.... view less
