Problem
Policymakers are informed with anecdotes, often by lobbyists; Issues like: copyright term, scope, anti-piracy measures, economics of DRM, etc.!Thankfully, lots of studies by academics!
Does anyone listen to academics? Slide4

Ambition 1) V
isualise relationality & quality of studies
What insights can we gain from showing relationships between studies in the Wiki?Obtain metadata about article references, source & authors credentials
Compare and rank datasets and analysis methods
Visually represent relationship between studies & importance based on these criteriaSlide8
Ambition 2) Leverage Wiki open functionality
What tools, plugins, policies & features can attract public contribution & engagement with Wiki?While also maintaining credibility, transparency & avoiding defacement, etc.Could a “virtual town hall meeting” format track discussions about entries & findings?Slide9
Ambition 3) Interface with upcoming policy debates
Governments around the world are questioning copyright policy in key areasHow can the Copyright Evidence Wiki keep up to date on new policy areas as they emerge and curate & produce answers to emergent policy questions?Methods to collect, parse & archive emergent policy questions on copyright?Mine corpus of studies and dynamically produce current, up to date dashboard of findings on diverse topics?Slide10
