Shemaya and I are hard at work on this article due in a week. We’ve been prepping (research, discussion) for six months but now it’s time to write. We had a glaring weakness and needed a miracle. I put out a call on the AoIR listserv and Lauren sends along her paper that is, without a doubt, the missing link. 🙂
Turns out she keeps a blog, too. Here’s an entry from a few days ago that is sortof related to our paper topic, Taking your social life with you (and keeping it to yourself), about how to juggle multimedia relationships.
I found only two other references via a Google search:
This “white paper” on Managing Multimedia Relationships seems to be an internal document for a call centre.
This one has the phrase in the title but doesn’t define it (or even repeat it in the paper): Modeling Complex Multimedia Relationships in the Humanities Computing Context.
I think credit for specifically defining the term belongs to Lauren, no debate.
Thanks for this! I’m truly thrilled that the paper is useful to someone else’s work. What is the paper for that you’re working on?
Information, Communication, and Society, if we’re lucky! 😉
