Global Digital Activism Data Set, 2013

The Global Digital Activism Data Set (GDADS), released February 2013 by the Digital Activism Research Project (DARP) at the University of Washington in Seattle, features coded cases of online digital activism from 151 countries and dependent territories. Several features from each case of digital activism were documented, including the year that online action commenced, the country of origin of the initiator(s), the geographic scope of their campaign, and whether the action was online only, or also featured offline activities. Researchers were interested in the number and types of software applications that were used by digital activists. Specifically, information was collected on whether software applications were used to circumvent censorship or evade government surveillance, to transfer money or resources, to aid in co-creation by a collaborative group, or for purposes of networking, mobilization, information sharing, or technical violence (destructive/disruptive hacking). The collection illustrates the overall focus of each case of digital activism by defining the cause advanced or defended by the action, the initiator's diagnosis of the problem and its perceived origin, the identification of the targeted audience that the campaign sought to mobilize, as well as the target whose actions the initiators aimed to influence. Finally, each case of digital activism was evaluated in terms of its success or failure in achieving the initiator's objectives, and whether any other positive outcomes were apparent.

《全球数字行动主义数据集》（GDADS），由西雅图华盛顿大学数字行动主义研究项目（DARP）于2013年2月发布，收录了来自151个国家及自治领土的在线数字行动主义的编码案例。该数据集详细记录了每起数字行动的多个特征，包括在线行动开始的年份、发起者的国籍、行动的地域范围、行动是否仅限于线上或同时包含线下活动。研究人员对数字行动主义者所使用的软件应用的数量和类型产生了兴趣。具体而言，收集了有关软件应用是否用于规避审查或逃避政府监控、转移资金或资源、协助协作团队共同创作、或用于网络连接、动员、信息共享或技术暴力（破坏性/破坏性黑客行为）的信息。该收集旨在通过定义行动所提倡或捍卫的事业、发起者对问题的诊断及其感知起源、所寻求动员的目标受众以及发起者旨在影响的目标行为，来展现每起数字行动的整体关注焦点。最终，对每起数字行动的成功或失败进行了评估，以确定其是否实现了发起者的目标，以及是否存在其他明显的积极成果。
