Theoretical introduction to the Multi-view Framework to assess SDIs

چکیده
The task of assessing SDI is difficult due to their complex, dynamic and constantly evolving nature. However as an SDI can be treated as a Complex Adaptive System, the assessment should include strategies for evaluating those kinds of systems. One such strategy is to use multiple assessment approaches and methods. We present the multi-view framework for assessing SDI initiatives around the world and argue that the strength of this assessment design lies in its flexibility, the multidisciplinary view on SDI and a reduced bias in the assessment results. The multi-view framework contains methods that not only evaluate SDI performance but also deepen our knowledge about SDI functioning, and may assist in its development. This chapter presents the assessment framework and describes its theoretical grounding in complexity theory and evaluation research. The application of the framework however is beyond the scope of this paper. Chapter 5. Theoretical introduction to the Multi-view Framework to assess SDIs
