| | 3 | The GnowsisEvaluation wants to find out how users actually '''use''' the Semantic Desktop. Therefor a Evaluation Logger was written to help DominikHeim do this in his diploma thesis (see http://wiki.heimwege.de for details). |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | All the logged data is kept private and deleted after the diploma thesis is written. The data that will be published will be anonymous. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | You can chose what data you want to give away for the evaluation. You must use the evaluation log level FINEST, to support this scientific work. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | == Capturing statistical data about the Semantic Desktop == |
| | 10 | For this evaluation, the gnowsis system writes down (logs) some activity data, how you interact with the system. During installation you can decide how much is logged. Note that gnowsis never sends this data to the DFKI, you are free to do that at the end of each month via e-mail. The log-files are plaintext and you can check the following explaination by looking at the files or directly to the open-source system. |
| | 11 | You can chose what data you want to give away for the evaluation. Please consider using the log-level FINE or FINEST, to support the scientific work. The Log-Level in detail are: |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | * OFF – off ;-) |
| | 14 | * INFO – Only actions are logged (no data) |
| | 15 | * FINE – actions and (anonymous) data is logged |
| | 16 | * '''FINEST – actions and data is logged. for trend analysis, this level is needed''' |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | The log file will be create in your gnowsis home directory (e.g. C:\documents and settings\yourname\.gnowsis-beta\evaluation.log). In this file generic use data is collected (click-counts, which parts of the software you used) and if you decided to use log-level "FINEST" or "FINE", some personal data is collected. FINEST will capture some file-names and other personal information, which we will not communicate to anyone. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | == Evaluation Overview == |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | * Use Gnowsis one month (9th November - 10th December 2007) |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | * In January we will have evaluated the logfiles and created a summary on "which trends were recognised", I will ask you to give feedback on that (that will take 10 minutes of your time) |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | == Sending the data to Shingo Kubo == |
| | 28 | At the 29th of May, please send your data via e-mail to Dominik Heim ('''heim@dfki.uni-kl.de'''). The file is located in your home directory (C:\documents and settings\yourname\.gnowsis-beta\evaluation.log). As this file can grow very big, you might want to zip it beforehand. |

| | 30 | In this file generic use data is collected (click-counts, which parts of the software you used) and if you decided to use log-level "FINEST" or "FINE", some personal data is collected. FINEST will capture some file-names and other personal information, which we will not communicate to anyone. |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | At the 26th of June, please send your data via e-mail to Dominik Heim ('''heim@dfki.uni-kl.de'''). The file is located in your home directory (C:\documents and settings\yourname\.gnowsis-beta\evaluation.log). As this file can grow very big, you might want to zip it beforehand. |
| | 33 | |
| | 34 | == Privacy == |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | * We will only use your data for this evaluation and the corresponding diploma thesis !!! |
| | 37 | * Stored data only used for scientific research (statistical evaluation) |
| | 38 | * Data will not be passed on to a third party or another DFKI research lab in any way !!! |
| | 39 | * All data will be deleted afterwards |
| | 40 | * Published data (within diploma thesis) will be completely anonymous |
| | 41 | * The log files are not connected to the questionnaires. |
| | 42 | |
