In this scenario, tagging is more about engagement than substantial contribution
Possibly the mechanisms for gathering or receiving these contributions have not been available or accessible to underserved communities?

We discovered in the pilot year that most Community Scholars’ participation in the program was fairly low.
Consistent, I think, with experience of many alumni access programs.
-
The main question is whether the library is ready to embrace the uncontrolled chaos of social knowledge creation.
Does this need to be an either/or scenario?

but socially-constructed metadata often lacks syntactic and semantic integrity.
-- and is not "neutral" either.
-
The library has to question the veracity of metadata submitted through open and social means: when this metadata combines with library-created metadata, does it result in unintended consequences such as misinformation and conflicting metadata”
Could contend that the library also has a responsibility to acknowledge and contextualize perception, as a means of mitigating those potential unintended consequences.

Systems need consistent data to work well
Implicit in this consistency is the intellectual work of representing relationships among ideas as they are expressed in language, and how these evolve over time.

Endogenous serious games
hashtag:amreading Armada by Ernest Cline rn. Armada would be an example of an "endogenous serious game" in this classification.

liveness
When I see "liveness" I think about objects that recently had liveness and now are gone. What is the relationship of "liveness" with formal memory/preservation? https://xkcd.com/1909/

questions of risk
This surfaced in our study: "fear that once released into the digital wilds beyond the academy, their work might be misinterpreted or misused. One participant explained that this already had happened to him: an article on climate change was cited as proof of “intelligent” design. Others expressed feelings of frustration and uncertainty about how online data they create might be misused." Reed, Kathleen; McFarland, Dana; Croft Rosie.

The way we want to rethink this is with storytelling
The inferences of 'storytelling' include audience, relationship, "heart."
-
How can multimedia scholarship reframe our work as storytelling for/with multiple audiences in the current information ecosystem?For us, "multimedia scholarship" stands in for a fairly complex set of terms and ideas. For one thing, we are thinking of scholarship both as research production and dissemination, but also as pedagogy and activism and a wide range of other kinds of work that are scholarly but not necessarily done by researchers all the time.
why 'storytelling' vs 'communication'?
-
Now that open practices are more widely accepted, and even heralded in some corners
Important not to dismiss the considerable scepticism and partial understanding that still exist among colleagues. To quote from one recent conversation where my advice was sought (and perhaps found wanting): "[grant adjudicators] overlook slightly the open access criterion because of its dogmatism. I am slightly distrustful of total open access, because it tends to gut excellence."
-
Instead of thinking of “lowbrow” or popular communication mechanisms as outside of the scholarly communication process, or else as a public record or starting point for an idea, what if we considered multiple versions of an argument as equally important and requiring of our sustained effort and attention?
I'm getting the concept only now. "Versioning" has a well-established meaning in records management (version control), software versioning, with respect to understanding the provenance and relation to one another of successive iterations of what is essentially the same work. The subject here is quite different, having to do with intentionally creating varied representations of content for diverse purposes and audiences. I am warm to the idea, but struggling with the expression of it. Thoughts. Could it be "variations" rather than versions? As in music, where the form varies but the theme is constant. "Channels" like "packaging" also possible, although not the same nuance, and inference is marketing & distribution.
-
To engage with the public, they argue, one must consider these communities at the inception of a research project, not as an afterthought or, worse, as mute subjects of examination.
+1. Short leap from here to OA as social justice practice.

At a glance
"At a glance" - Phrase suggests that what follows may be a superficial take, subject to revision upon closer analysis. Based on what follows, I don't think that this is what's intended?
