Abstract

Drawing on three cases of information infrastructure building projects with social science participants, we identify four elements which have structured the engagements. The elements we identify are (i) the temporal initiation of social science engagement with the project; (ii) the level of development of the infrastructure at engagement, (iii) the project's participatory model for social science, and; (iv) social scientist's structured relations to project participants.
