Are "healthy" and "low calorie" meals the same?
➡️ They are similar, but there are also nuanced differences regarding food groups and individual foods, as we #HPGVienna @univie.ac.at show in our latest publication, now published in Appetie.

We are constantly working on improving OntoSpreadEdl! Any feedback is welcome to make it more open and usable for social and behavioural sciences.

In the meantime, feel free to check out the paper and the tool here: doi.org/10.12688/wel...

Why? Because beyond being useful, ontologies need to be usable!

This tool is for the people who see value in ontologies, but not in spending hours trying to understand how to use tools designed for and by ontologists rather than behavioural scientists!

🎉 OntoSpreadEd is here – making ontologies as easy as spreadsheets!

Preprint of our paper on this open-source tool (built with social scientists) is now available online.

No coding needed! Edit spreadsheets → get OWL files.

Huge thanks to Björn Gehrke for leading this!

Bradford project produces ‘outstanding’ rise in children’s physical activity JU:MP programme included co-design of play spaces, exercise in faith settings and interventions in schools

More of this please.

Co-designing play spaces with children and young people near their homes led to “what researchers say is the highest increase in children’s physical activity ever recorded by an intervention of its kind”

In the context of epistemic iteration, I have been thinking about the metaphor of cartography: diverse maps, often "wrong", but useful to start exploring, leading to new maps embedded in the practice of use (and often still "wrong" post hoc). Is there any good reading on the hist and philo of maps?

Do you use a calorie counter app? Donate your data to research. In this study, you will complete 2 brief online surveys one week apart to report on the data from your app. Participants who complete both parts can enter a prize draw for 3 100€ (or $100 or 80 pound) vouchers.
