![[230301_collaboration-ch-csi.png]] ### Objective The objectives of the HSG Ecosystem Navigator are: 1. Make visible the people (👤), organizations (🏢), and the broad range of initiatives (🚀) and events (🗓) at HSG related to sustainability, social innovation, and creating a positive impact. 2. Reveal potential for collaboration across disciplines and domains and for learning from and with each other. > [!warning] Notes on completeness and accuracy of data > At the moment, this is a 🚧 **protoype** (proof-of-concept) with no claim to completely and accurately provide an overview of the HSG ecosystem. > [!todo] Current focus and actions > - Develop clear definitions between organizations, initiatives, and events > - Developing an appropriate governance for the Ecosystem Navigator, e.g. > - Data privacy:  We only include data that is public or that an entity explicitly consented to including.  What is a good opt-out mechanism? > - Data management: How do keep data up-to-date(-ish)? E.g. expiry dates for initiatives and events, de-central co-owners. What data input pipelines do we provide? How do we integrate with other systems? > - Establish additional and more formal collaborations with organizations, initiatives and people interested in the Ecosystem Navigator. > - Get [[feedback]] from users as basis for iterating and tailoring to new user groups and use cases, evaluate the value provided by the Ecosystem Navigator. ### How to use this prototype - Hopefully this prototype is pretty self-explanatory. - Click on or search for any entity (organization, person, initiative, event) and see information and ecosystem links for that entity on the page and in the interactive graph on the right. - In Obsidian you can open [local graph view](obsidian://advanced-uri?vault=ZK&commandid=graph%253Aopen-local). - If you get lost, you can always come back to **[[🧭 Start here]]** in the footer of each page (see also navigation on the left). ### Technical setup - This prototype is built on top of an Airtable database with an R Script creating simple linked [markdown (plaintext) files](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) that are displayed in [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) (local) and the [Obsidian Publish platform](https://obsidian.md/publish) (on the web). - There are more extensive features if this prototype is used on a local instance of Obsidian. ### Want to collaborate or contribute data to the Ecosystem Navigator? ^9e4469 - This is the result of a 🫶 **collaboration** between [ChangeHub](https://www.changehub.ch) and the [Competence Center for Social Innovation (CSI-HSG)](https://csi.unisg.ch). We warmly invite additional partners / collaborators! 🤗 - If you find this prototype interesting or potentially valuable and want to help further develop it reach out to [email protected] or indicate your interest in collaboration in the [[feedback]] ([🌐](https://airtable.com/shrYgxSdgk7I5avfp)) form. - You can also add an entity to Airtable with this [[entity input]] ([🌐](https://airtable.com/shrnySsJVzk0VCYeq)) form.
