Felly mae'n gweithio oherwydd. five years ago, this is the media from what we've heard already, paper based research frameworks published as monographs and that locks in the knowledge and I think coming to this from a perspective as a knowledge manager at Historic England Books fossilised the knowledge that they contain and if that's appropriate for what you want to do as a body record that's fine if you don't want to keep live and active is potentially a problem. So the new approach we're taking is shown here, we're going to model the contents of those traditional publications, apply some of the standards that we've already discussed and mentioned. A credit digital platform, so that means it's easy to update and maintain these essential knowledge and we also want to encourage collaboration in the development of these research frameworks. So don't worry about this, this is just my making the point that you can model the knowledge that's contained in these publications. So the sticky notes are things that you can record information about and the lines between them are how they relate to each other. But this is just a technique for gathering and sharing thoughts on how, for example, an individual research question relates to the themes in a research framework. It's a way of capturing thinking and it's helped us in our design of the work that we've started, which Doug will speak more about in the next presentation. I think this is a really important thing coming out of what I've heard so far is to think of a research agenda as a database of questions and when you stop thinking about it as a book that needs to be published and then it's finished, you start and go back to your database, which you can keep up to date, it opens up your thinking to a whole other possibility. So we wouldn't think, we're mostly familiar with historical environment records or scientific monument records or inventories of archaeological sites in the country. You wouldn't publish that, you wouldn't think it was finished, you wouldn't fossilize it at any point. It's a database that you can add to as you need to. And the value of this is at the points that Julian and Peter were making earlier is that when you start thinking about it as a database then you can build on all the work that has already been done on standardizing data and improving access to knowledge. Again, don't worry about CDOC CRM, that's the people such myself and Julian and Peter can worry about this for you. But the CDOC CRM is simply a globally applicable standard for structuring the knowledge and content and information about past. And it includes the notion of disarmament or procedure and this is where I think research agendas have started to play into this already existing model. Interestingly there was a session on CDOC CRM at this conference and as a result of that I found out that the ICS sport, the research institute which maintains this model on behalf of the ICS or on behalf of the community, has also recently started creating a database of the questions that have come up at EAA. So European Act EAA conferences has covered in various papers and procedures. So there may be work that has already been done which can help us in our thinking. That was literally just found out yesterday. Again, think about this as a database. This might be a list of the fields in the database if you're trying to think about it in that way. So the sort of things you might want to record about a question. So what is it about? Some of the ideas I'm trying to get across here. So is it a question that relates to a particular date? A lot of background work is already there. There are some particular issues on spatial relevance which are very tough to crack but again lots of other people are thinking about it. And also about broad topics. We're very good in archaeology and indexing things very precisely about the things we're very interested in like monuments and artifacts. We're not so good at indexing the things which are of more general relevance such as disease or trade. So if you think of our new research agendas as a list of research questions and obviously once that question is in the database it can appear any moment. So this gives you that flexibility to have different research agendas fronted by national authority, a period specialist interest of society, any other kind of group. But in the background you've got that question that can come from various places. And Dan coined this expression which I think really captures the thinking on this. So it's sort of a plot of questions that you can dip into to come up with the particular dish which your circumstances need. So this is not really relevant. So here's the plot of questions and here's some of this research. Don't I see food? You just take the tomatoes. It's okay. A couple of thoughts on why I focus on research questions. I think these are useful to bear in mind. A research question specifies a gap in the knowledge that we have. As soon as you put a question mark on the end of a sentence it makes you think about how can you answer that. It facilitates that dialogue. It helps inform your approaches to how you're planning your next project. It also focuses, if you want to write a question, it focuses on what you want to know rather than what you're doing. And that's got a useful distinction to make. So in practice how you actually create these, we've discussed this already. This is just a couple of thoughts on how you can create this database. And that can then inform your initial project objectives. You can adapt it to the database so you can update it. You can answer some of those questions and mark them to ask, answer. You can add new questions. It's a live thing rather than a fossilised easy knowledge. And of course by undertaking research and answering a question you can show that you've made progress. Which is a key point in terms of demonstrating research impact.
