Hi Tracey and folks, I'd take a look at Mary Gray and Siddharth Suri's work on crowd labor: http://www.inthecrowd.org/publications/ They did a mix of ethnography and big data analysis, so their methodology is very cool. If you're interested in going the ethnography route, I'm writing my dissertation on crafting platforms (Etsy & Ravelry) and the folks who work on them into a book at the moment and would be happy to chat.

Greetings all;
I am looking for research methodologies to study things like data flow lines, systems, platforms, following data trails, IoT and data, etc.
Things like:
- Applied theory - Walkthrough methods - Ethnographic (of systems/orgs/platforms but not of social media) - and etc.
We have lots of great theory, but hard to find some research methods. Any intel would be most helpful.
At the moment it is about looking at utility and transportation grids and meters and sensors in a smart city context. But it could also be something similar in a precision agriculture context.
Cheerio t
