the concepts of foam and membranes provide a system
through which this form of public mobilization can be
analyzed. The level of granularity of these concepts enables
us to look at the activity resulting from “low cooperation”,
which “appears more as the result of a set of individual
actions which was not initially motivated by a collective
sentiment”
10
[CAR 10]. What type of low cooperation can be
found among the various participants involved in the data
ecosystem and mapping?
- Uploading radiation data onto an aggregation platform
or, conversely, downloading the data to include them on a
map.
- Publishing structured data after making the extraction
process automatic.
- Cooperating from a distance by creating a mailing list
(this is more closely related to traditional methods of online
mobilization, see [LOV 09]). The Radmonitor 311 mailing list
initiated by Dr Ryo Ichimiya, as well as that created by the
Safecast association, has made possible the exchange of
advice on how to use Geiger counters, how to extract data
from Websites and combine radiation information sources.
- Using collaborative spreadsheets as seen with Marian
Steinbach in order to locate the sensors from the SPEEDI
network. These have put Steinbach in touch with several
Japanese
speakers
who
helped
with
geo-locating
the
measurement stations of the SPEEDI network

.
- Exchanging advice on how to make maps and
visualizations, as with Dr Ryo Ichimiya's Web Radmonitor
311 Website, to encourage re-using the data.

initialement, n'était pas guidé par un sentiment collectif”.
