Commons-based Cases in EM

Commons based cases (the cases that we know will appear in the right part of the quadrants)
- Identify cases
- Correlate them with their main outputs (Data. Narratives. Tools)
- How and in what extent they are “experimenting” or “adopting” commons-based approach. Are they adopting OA policies, for instance? Are they adopting Social Responsible License approaches?
- Identify these cases and treat them as entities that will also be placed in our mapping device (the quadrants)
- Identify what actors are participating on this and what actors are just observers (Use the questionnaire to guide your research when appropriate - Carol will select specific relevant and helpful questions)
