+
* Mar - Apr 2012 : Case study technical committee (CSTC) develops example cases
−
* For cases generally, the idea was to create a semantic form similar to what is being developed for the DSS, but this will take some time to develop. In the meantime, maybe we can just post them directly to the standard wiki. I added a subcategory to [[:Category:Case Studies]] that is [[:Category:Forsys Case Studies]] (but this is just a temporary strategy). It may be important to somehow separate cases that Forsys participants plan to use to contribute towards the project guidelines from general cases in the literature, but we are not sure exactly how yet - see Forsys vs Literature question.

===How to we tag/categorize the cases?===
+
* Oct 2012: CSTC provides develops & tests [[Form:Case study|case input form]] for semantic wiki
−
* I am not a tagging expert but it seems to me that tags need to be smaller than “Cases of participatory planning in forestry”. The point is modularity. So “case study” is enough for a case study. And “case” is enough for a case. (without describing the study –methodology, theory- behind it). Then “participation” is another tag.
+
* Nov 2012: CSTC solicits short cases from Forsys participants
−
* Agreed in principle, but there do seem to be some differences between wiki categories and keywords more generally (although we're all just learning). The fundamental difference seems to be that there is no way to use multiple wiki categories at once to find, for example, all “cases” with “participation”. This leads to the use of long categories involving multiple concepts. Also, wiki categories are used as the title of pages and longer ones are helpful for this. As we move to the semantic wiki, it looks like the modular approach will be possible.

==Case study literature database==

+
−
** e.g. [http://www.mendeley.com/ Mendeley] or [http://www.citeulike.org/ Citeulike]
+
−
 
+
−
===Do we separate cases from Forsys participants from cases from the literature?===
+
−
* Assuming institutionalization of the wiki and not of the Cost Action per se, it does not matter whether a forsys member has delivered a case or a case study. Of course it does for the record of the Action, so a separate tag “Forsys member” should do.
+
−
* This is a good point. The initial thinking is that these will be stored in different data structures: the wiki for forsys cases and a literature database (maybe Mendeley.com for the literature). However, somehow we would need to link from each to the guidelines they relate to.
+
−
 
+
−
==Publications==
+
−
* Think of publication possibilities for case study work
+
−
===Possibilities===
+
−
* Book: similar to country reports book; would require a high level of effort and good contributions
+
−
* Journal special issue: what possible journals? Forest Systems, ???
+
−
* Individual journal articles: just encourage/help cases submit articles individually
+
−
* Wiki: as a minimum, we'll post all cases to the wiki and use the semantic forms to make connections between them
