Abstract

In this paper, I propose to address eParticipation as an Information Ecology (Nardi & O'Day, 1999). By examining the micro-scale level of two cases of eParticipation as Information Ecologies, I identify microlevel technological building blocks and the artful integrations performed by actors whose role is often not enough emphasized. HCI research in the area of eParticipation should acknowledge the role of these actors in order to design eParticipation with and for them.
