Peer Reviewing PORT's 2002 Pragmatic Workshop Papers

This Note proposes a methodology for reviewing paper submissions for PORT's 2002 Pragmatic Web Workshop [PORT 2002], and describes the tools that will be used to support the methodology. This methodology should complement the larger process for reviewing and approving papers, which is not discussed here.    1A  (02)

In short, I propose the following:    1B  (03)

1. Create an access-controlled Web site for the Workshop reviewers.    1C1  (04)
2. Post the submitted papers on the Web with purple numbers for granular addressability. [Kim 2001]    1C2  (05)
3. Create a mailing list for discussing submitted papers.    1C3  (06)
4. Archive the mailing list on the access-controlled Web site, using purple numbers for granular addressability.    1C4  (07)
5. Discuss the papers over the mailing list, following standards for addressing the papers.    1C5  (08)
6. Have a facilitator create a Dialog Map of the discussion, with links to the original discourse, updating and posting the Dialog Map daily.    1C6  (09)

This methodology would enable:    1D  (010)

• Focused, civil, and constructive discussion.    1E1  (011)
• An up-to-date snapshot of the state of discussion.    1E2  (012)
• A well-organized archive of the discussion.    1E3  (013)
• A comprehensive, easy-to-follow summary of the discourse.    1E4  (014)

Purple numbers are a simple technique for addressing sections of a document. [Kim 2001] Logical chunks of a paper are assigned a purple number, which may be linked to directly by copying and pasting the address of that purple number. For example, following the link:    2A  (016)

http://www.eekim.com/software/purple/purple.html#nid02    2B  (017)

takes you to the paragraph in the document with the purple number "(02)".    2C  (018)

There are several ways to get the address of a purple number. You can click on it, and copy the URL in the browser's address window. You can also right-click the purple number, and select "Copy link address." You can then paste the address into your editor.    2D  (019)

For an example of a Dialog Mapped e-mail discussion, see:    3A  (021)

and compare it to:    3C  (023)

Notice that each element in the Dialog Map also has a purple number, and may be addressed the same way as any other document with purple numbers.    3E  (025)
