Product data

Short description

(in English, max. 1000 characters) Lyhyt teksti, tarkoituksena vakuuttaa tuomari siitä että tähän työhän kannattaa paneutua tarkemmin. Hissipuhe!

Opasnet is a collective knowledge production environment for improving societal decision-making. It is designed for self-organised groups to bring in, synthesize, and critically discuss scientific information and value judgements related to decisions through open assessments. These can take many shapes ranging from testing the validity of claims presented in mass media to constructing policy recommendations and expert advice for the decision makers. According to the Opasnet philosophy, everyone can contribute and utilize the results for free. Citizens can offer their values, expectations and data for the basis of the assessments. For experts, government officials, professional scientists etc., Opasnet offers a range of tools that help in (1) generating, presenting and storing the results for others to re-use and validate, (2) integrating the results systematically with the existing body of knowledge from other assessments, and (3) assessing the quality of the contributions.
