“…How are reciprocal rules and patterns manifested? From a number of preliminary studies (Skågeby, 2008(Skågeby, , 2009 it can be concluded that, social bonding values are many times conveyed via sociocontextual metadata attached to media objects and collections of media objects (such as comments, tags, public friends lists and status notifications). It becomes interesting to see how the possibility to contribute and receive such metadata bears impact on overall sharing behaviors and practices particularly as there is a continuous addition of functionality to the social layers of media sharing (Shirky, 2003;Kaye, 2004;Mello, 2004;Roush, 2005), creating more potential for socially bonding media sharing (i.e.…”

“…From a theoretical point of view, this illustrates that an object with a fairly stable exchange value can have different bonding value depending on the sorts of relationships in which it occurs (which may in turn impact on the exchange value). The effect of this impact is described in more detail in Skågeby (2009).…”

“…Consequently, bonding values emphasize connectedness and identification (Komter, 2007) and while it can be said to be a value of an artifact it is also a value directed towards the maintenance of relationships between oneself and others (i.e. not strictly self-interested nor other-oriented) (Skågeby, 2009).…”

This paper explores the use of gift-giving as a theoretical and conceptual framework for analyzing social behavior in online networks and communities. Not only has gift-giving the potential to frame and explain much social media behavior, but reversely, and perhaps more importantly, mediated social behavior also has the potential to develop gift-giving theory. Information and communication technologies form joint sociotechnical systems where new practices emerge. The paper focuses on describing the academic background of the gifting framework to help develop a deeper, theory-based, understanding of these sociotechnical phenomena. Three themes are prevalent in the gifting literature: otherorientation, social bonding and generalized reciprocity. The paper gives examples of how these themes are enacted by end-users via the use of information and communication technologies. Finally, sociotechnically embedded economies, called gifting technologies, are identified and discussed.

“…Human preferences, tastes, desires, and interests are profoundly maneuvered by the interface features which direct online behaviour, while users' behavioural metadata in turn help to reconfigure the very algorithms structuring the site. Social metadata, such as tags, comments, friends lists, and groups, are used to personalize media objects and their relations to people and other media objects (Skageby 2009). It is not until the photo or object is tagged or commented upon that relationship intentions become manifest, and yet, these actions are often executed unconsciously.…”

• Media and Communication Research Findings in the Nordic Countries Nordicom publishes a Nordic journal, Nordicom information, and an English language journal, Nordicom review (refereed), as well as anthologies and other reports in both Nordic and English languages. Different research databases concerning, among other things, scientific literature and ongoing research are updated continuously and are available on the Internet. Nordicom has the character of a hub of Nordic cooperation in media research. Making Nordic research in the field of mass communication and media studies known to colleagues and others outside the region, and weaving and supporting networks of collaboration between the Nordic research communities and colleagues abroad are two prime facets of the Nordicom work. The documentation services are based on work performed in national documentation centres attached to the universities in Aarhus

“…The recent focus on user‐generated content and social web communities leads to massive availability of social metadata : content sharing and social bookmarking sites, weblogs and other publishing tools introduce tagging, annotation, rating, commenting and discussion mechanisms, which can also be applied to educational resources. Skågeby (2009) lists different purposes for social metadata: sharing, recommendation, filtering, communication or personal organisation of content. Usually, social metadata does not follow complex structures.…”

Making learning objects available is critical to reuse learning resources. Making content transparently available and providing added value to different stakeholders is among the goals of the European Commission's eContentPlus programme. This article analyses standards and protocols relevant for making learning objects accessible in distributed data provider networks. Types of metadata associated with learning objects and methods for metadata generation are discussed. Experiences from European projects highlight problems in implementing infrastructures and mapping metadata types into common application profiles. The use of learning contents and its associated metadata in different scenarios is described and concluded with lessons learned and pitfalls to avoid.
