Jonathan Bailey, states that “If you use or link to other content, you are probably an aggregator, at least in some capacity” (Bailey, 2010) and then follows with ‘we are all aggregators’ (Bailey, 2015). But there are different approaches to aggregation and, depending on how transparent the attribution is, these can be classified either as parasitic or symbiotic. We believe that transparency (Silverman, 2014) and how attribution is carried out underpin these critical differences. In this session we explore mechanisms for ethical aggregation and using sharing to create impact for the original creators and yourself.
This event has been postponed until Spring. A new date will be announced as soon as it is confirmed.
