چکیده
Ethnomethodology is an established method of research in technology related fields.

متن کاملEthnomethodology as an Influence on Community-Centred Design
Social norms are integral to the success of online communities. This success is predicated on social norms reinforcing accepted community behaviour, marshalling effective communication and, from a semiotic perspective, providing a foundation for the interpretation of signs.
