All Forsys participants are requested to submit one or more case studies to the wiki (similar to the DSS descriptions). The purpose of thes case studies is to identify 'lessons learned' which will contribute to the overall Forsys objective of providing guidelines on DSS development and use.
Two sources of cases are envisioned:
- Unpublished cases contributed by Forsys members and STSMs: We ask that each Forsys participant try to identify one or more case from their personal knowledge and enter some basic information on it in the wiki (including lessons). We are in the proces of designing a semantic wiki form for members to enter this information.
- Cases from the literature: We also ask that Forsys participants identify existing cases in the literature and extract lessons learned. We are in the process of reviewing possible databases to enter and store this information, such as Citeulike and Mendeley
Similar to the DSS descriptions, we have identified certain types of information we would like to collect about each case. Please see this example case. Then you can use this Case Study Template to create your own case on the wiki.
The focus of each case should be on 'lessons learned', so please pay special attention to linking the case description supports the lessons list at the end of the case.
The Case Study Technical Committee is also working on a semantic wiki form for case entry, and we will send out the request to all Forsys members when the forms for entering case studies are ready.
