Draft Lecture outline -- Jouni 16:19, 6 February 2008 (EET)
Lecture 1: Introduction to Open Risk Assessment (ORA) Jouni
- Forget everything you knew about risk assessment
- During this week, we will describe a new approach to risk assessment. It has new developments from the theoretical foundation all the way to practical computer tools.
- a new ontological foundation
- strictly object-oriented approach
- a new structure for objects
- traditional methods for processing information, but organised in a more systematic way
- tools that enable open collaboration
- data sources that are directly available and applicable
- ORA is about information processing. The information is about the real world.
- It is practical to describe the ORA work as processes, and the information as products.
- General processes: observation, info collection, synthesis, management
- A major aim of the system is to make the work systematic, reuse existing pieces of information, and save time and resources.
- What is the most efficient way of doing ORA?
- Practical way: short discussions only; all questions put into wiki and answered by the following day.
- critical scientific disciplines you should be aware of
- decision analysis
- probability theory
- graph theory
- pragma-dialectics argumentation theory
Lecture 2: General assessment framework (Mikko)
- purpose of assesments
- to describe reality (variables)
- to serve a specific need (assessments + variable scoping)
- properties of good assessments
- quality of content, applicability, efficiency
- societal context of assessments
- process, product and use
- general assessment processes
- observation
- information collection, manipulation and synthesis
- management of assessment process
- universal products
- assessment, variable, context, (class), causal diagram
- open participation
- why open participation?
- acceptability, efficiency and relevance
- implications of allowing open participation
- why open participation?
- other relevant related concepts
Lecture 3: Information structure of ORA: object internal structure (Jouni)
- name, scope, definition, result
- data, causality, unit, formula
- data connections vs. causal connections
- content, description and discussion
Lecture 4: Information structure: relations between objects (Mikko)
- variable, assessment, context, (class)
- presenting variables and assessments as causal diagrams
Lecture 5: Participation in assessments (Mikko)
- discussion, commenting and argumentation
- argumentation theory (pragma-dialectics)
- argument is always about a statement
- validity of an argument
- attack
- defend
- signature
Lecture 6: moderation and quality control (Jouni)
- reader, contributor, moderator, board of moderators
- different levels of protection
- openly available page
- page closed; discussion available
- discussion managed by moderator, contributions via nuggets
Lecture 7: Evaluating assessment performance (Mikko)
- properties of good RA
- quality of content
- applicability
- efficiency
- relations between properties and information structure
- evaluation as an inherent part of the process
Lecture 8: Addressing uncertainties (Jouni)
- probabilistic (real) uncertainties: informativeness, calibration about result
- model "uncertainties": about definition
- relevance: about scope
- variability vs uncertainty
