''How to maneuver the discussions/work if we are something like 35 persons with 2 rather big rooms at our disposal (and perhaps smaller groups can find some space in the surroundings as well)? Having a common discussion all along might be difficult (or not so productive). Depending on how we divide the sessions, one may start thinking about how to compose the material out of your material.''

Here are some ideas for group feedback:
+
==Timeline==
−
*[30 minutes] begin with a brief common presentation and discussion on progress to date and next steps for subgroups (build more details on framework for conduction case studies); answer any general questions
+
* 18 November 2011 : FORSYS participants submit STSM opportunities to wiki
−
*[1.5 hours] Break into ~4 subgroups with ~8 people each, trying to get even representation from each WG in each, including one of us in each (because it looks like case studies have already been discussed by each WG in Greece, now we could try to synthesize across WGs). All groups would have the same assignment: to review the current state of the case study framework, provide feedback, and develop more detail.
+
* Mar - Apr 2012 : Case study technical committee (CSTC) develops example cases
−
*[30 min] Groups would report a summary of their suggestions back to whole group
+
* May (Zvolen meeting) : CSTC reports on progress and coordinates work with other WGs
−
*[30 min] Synthesis discussion
+
* Sept 2012 : CSTC representatives participate in Wiki Task Force meeting; discuss how to integrate cases into semantic wiki
 +
* Oct 2012: CSTC provides develops & tests [[Form:Case study|case input form]] for semantic wiki
 +
* Nov 2012: CSTC solicits short cases from Forsys participants
 +
* Nov 2012 - Jan 2013 : CSTC follow up on potential cases, answer any questions, provide feedback on drafts
 +
* Feb 2013 : CTSC meets to review and synthesize cases for presentation/publication/contributing to FORSYS guidelines
 +
* Mar 2013: CSTC finishes case synthesis article to inform broader FORSYS guidelines
 +
* April 2013 : Selected cases and synthesis presented at Umea conference
 +
* (technically have until 3 months after end of project (4/2013) to complete all project work)

''Another matter is the case study STC and how it can be fruitfully used before, at and after the meeting? Is there some kind of assignments we should give to the STC (with one member from each WG)?''

Develop case study examples and guidelines

  • Develop semantic form for entering case studies into the wiki
  • Figure out how cases will contribute to final Forsys guidelines

Manage case study contributions

  • Solicit case studies from the Forsys network
  • Review and comment on case studies submitted
  • Answer questions, resolve issues

Use of published 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.
  • Investigate possible technologies for managing/sharing case study literature

Categorization and searching of cases

  • The case study semantic form
    • tags each case with the general Category:Case
    • uses the other fields in the case form as tags/categorizies (e.g. Country, Decision phase)
  • Cases can be searched/filtered using custom semantic queries or pre-build semantic query pages

Synthesis of cases

  • Synthesis of the cases will focus on their recorded lessons, and how these lessons contribute to the overall FORSYS lessons/guidelines

Sharing results

  • The CTSC is hosting all cases to the FORSYS wiki
  • The CSTC has submitted a presentation proposal for the final FORSYS conference in April 2013
  • The CSTC has also proposed a case synthesis journal article for the FORSYS conference issue of the Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research
  • Other ideas???

  • Each STC member leads a subgroup on assigned task
  • Develop & present a time line for the work on the case studies
    • incl. meeting of the STC
    • incl. clear division of responsibilities

  • Develop two (or more) documents:
  • Gather further information on case studies (STC sends request to country representatives)
