The Research 2.0 Concept Model above is an evolution of the Academic Library 2.0 Concept Models developed for my Master's Paper (http://mchabib.com/2006... ). While the original model primarily focused on academic library services for students, the new model focuses on services for researchers. Like in the original models, the top represents communication spaces grounded in physical space, while the bottom mirrors this in the online realm. Two ends of the spectrum are informal communications and formal communications. My argument is that Research 2.0 falls somewhere between these extremes.

The above Scholarly Identity 2.0 Concept Model takes the series of concept models one step farther, but with a slightly different twist. The divide between online and offline scholarly communication is largely meaningless, so has been discarded. The spectrum in this case is more specific with one end being entirely user-generated content and the other traditional scholarly communication. My hypothesis is that scholarly identity online, or Scholarly Identity 2.0, is a combination of these two information types that is held together by a unique identifier. The black text is content types. The blue text are the characteristics of identity these content types best represent. The green is who is responsible for managing this information. For example, the combination verifies not just topical expertise through peer-review of articles, but also personality based on LinkedIn recommendations.

Michael - interesting stuff. Do you have that paper you mentioned published by now (blog post is dated mid-2006). I would like to mention some of this in my thesis and cite your publication of course. - 'Mummi' Thorisson

some comments here http://ff.im/aXOKZ, - so what's your thesis about, 'Mummi' Thorisson? - Claudia Koltzenburg

Thesis located here: http://hdl.handle.net/1901/356 and the title is "Toward Academic Library 2.0: Development and Application of a Library 2.0 Methodology" - Michael Habib

Claudia - the overall theme is data publication and the role of data standards, federated database networks and digital identity in facilitating/encouraging data sharing. The context is research into correlation between genotype and phenotype, or medical genetics/genomics more generally. Have a look at this review published last year that i co-authored with my supervisor: "Genotype-phenotype databases: challenges and solutions for the post-genomic era" - http://dx.doi.org/10... - 'Mummi' Thorisson

Nice. Thanks Michael!! - 'Mummi' Thorisson

The second (right) model above on identity is the more interesting of the two. If you are going to look at just one.... - Michael Habib

Interesting social status implications here, especially with the second model. The more robust both sides of the scholar2.0 identity components (UGC + trad), the "deeper" the 2.0 identity (think tag clouds as the metaphor here). Or, perhaps color combos is a better metaphor, with schol.identity2.0 being a mix of UCG (say, "yellow"), trad (say "blue") and combo being "green" -- the shade of green and saturation indicates the relative amount of presence on either dimension. This allows users at a glance to determine relative scholarly contribution of any particular individual. - Mickey Schafer
