HUMANE Survey for REVEAL project: Implications and Design Solutions for Human-Machine Network

The objective of the HUMANE project is to provide a framework and method for classifying and analysing the characteristics of such networks (collectively called HumanMachine Networks (HMNs)), inform design and policy making, and provide recommendations for R&I actions. In order to perform these tasks, HUMANE is revisiting current or recent ICT projects and performing surveys in order to collect feedback about the implications of HMNs and recommendations for design practices. In this survey we focus on the REVEAL project (http://revealproject.eu) as an example of a HMN that provides advanced content aggregationfilteringcuration and recommendation tools for making a higher level analysis of social media possible, enabling users to reveal hidden 'modalities' such as reputation, influence or credibility of information. In the REVEAL use case, journalists interact with information sources, the public and other journalists, and use the developed tools for revealing information with respect to social media contributors (source of the information), content (the information itself) and context.
