As of Spring 2016, a list of potential Hubs with a set of characteristics was created. Many of these are not what will be defined as Hubs. We will be creating a scorecard to help subjectively define Hubs based on certain characteristics.
#Collecting the remaining manual data (next step)
*For the detailed current work in progress for building the Hubs datasheet for the scorecard go to: [[Hubs: Hubs Scorecard]]
*For a tracker of work in progress for the dataset building for the scorecard go to [[Hubs: Hubs Data Building]]
*For a high-level overview of the variables for the scorecard go to [[Hubs: Hubs Data]]
##<code>E:\McNair\Projects\Hubs\Hubs Data</code> - Contains 125 entities - many are not hubs (overlap with above file unknown, this file's pedigree from old Hubs project).
==Hubs Data==
'''(7/27 Onwards)'''
Collected variables for 30 hubs that are surely hubs. The results are here:
1) We published the twitter count on mechanical turk and received results.
2) We have audited the results and updated the amazon.
3) We are creating additional potential turks on the amazon site (See [[Hubs: Hubs Scorecard]])
4) We are finding more potential hubs from members of international national business innovation association
'''(Week of 7/4)'''
1) We have created the list and commented our thoughts after ---. For determining the variables, we have separated the list into two parts: a list of desired variables and ones that were previously collected, many of which are desired variables.
2) We have also created an example of how to write mechanical turks for collecting certain variables
