Shaping Rebus Ink: An open, values-driven approach to designing a research workflow tool

Rebus Ink is an open source research workflow tool, designed to support arts, humanities and social science researchers to manage and draw insights from their collected sources. With funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the project team is dedicated to developing the tool and its supporting structures in line with open values. This session will introduce the Rebus Ink tool and its key features, including the ways in which it seeks to support and encourage open research practices. It will then explore the design principles and guiding values for the project as a whole, and detail the ways in which the project team is seeking to contribute to the open ecosystem beyond the tool itself.
