Recap of 2014 Open Knowledge Festival | Opensource.com - 1 views

  •  
    I was lucky to be in Berlin with some colleagues earlier this month for the 2014 Open Knowledge Festival and associated fringe events. There's really too much to distill into a short post-from Neelie Kroes, the European Commissioner for Digital Agenda, making the case for " Embracing the open opportunity," to Patrick Alley's breathtaking accounts of how Global Witness uses information, to expose crime and corruption in countries around the world.
  •  
    A useful summary of some of the key take-aways from the 2014 Open Knowledge Festival, courtesy of Tariq Khokhar From the article: 1. There are some great open data initiatives around the world and two common themes are the need for a strong community of technologically literate data re-users, and the sustained effort needed within governments to change how they create, manage and publish data in the long term. 2. Spreadsheets are code and we can adopt some software engineering practices to make much better use of them. There are a number of powerful tools and approaches to data handing being pioneered by the scientific community and those working in other fields can adopt and emulate many of them. 3. Open data fundamentally needs open source software. App reuse often doesn't happen because contexts are too different. Reusable software components can reduce the development overhead for creating locally customized civic software applications and a pool of high quality civic software components is a valuable public good worth contributing to. Reading time: 15mins

    I see that Google are the sponsors of the 2014 Open Knowledge Festival but despite having little knowledge about Google's role and interest in the Open Knowledge , I also feel they are the culprit when it comes to data manipulative for their own profit motives.

Will Apple Satisfy Regulators Over HealthKit Data Privacy? - 1 views

  •  
    Considering digital identities, here's an interesting article over a new form of data privacy: our health. As health devices (i.e. smart watches) become more available and mainstream we should consider what type of data we want 'floating' around the internet such as our weights/BMIs or whatever other personal information the health device may obtain. This is one issue that the increase in technology and social communication has brought to us (not entirely a bad thing)…more personal data becoming easily accessible for advertisers. "This week, Apple has updated its privacy policy to try and ensure that developers don't market personal healthcare data to advertisers and brokers. The company is betting big on its new HealthKit platform, part of iOS 8. It gives developers a set of APIs to share their apps' data with Apple's […]"

State of the Web: Reddit, the world's best anonymous social network - 1 views

  •  
    Interesting reading in this Module, esp the article about having an additional anonymous online persona. It's interesting in that reddit not only allows users to register using obviously fake names, but also declines to require any authentication, but still offers it as an option. I participated in the reddit community for about a year, and in that time connected with numerous individuals, most of which I never learned 'who' they were. Personally, I was never harassed, bullied or otherwise hassled, save for one or two PMs from various mods when I had run afoul of their guidelines.
  •  
    You beat me to it, i was planning on posting about reddit! Yeah, it's anonymous, and it's against its rules to post personal information, but it gets leaked and some people managed to get someone's information by reading old posts and connecting dots. The information you post, as a whole, its your footprint and can be tracked.
  •  
    You beat me to it too! Reddit is a fascinating experiment. I actually mod a couple subreddits over there, and it's always interesting to read articles about it. In my two or so years on Reddit, I have: --Made friends (and lost touch with) with people from all over the world. --Been cyber-bullied and therefore witnessed exactly how good the moderators of certain subreddits can be. It was taken care of quickly and cleanly. I still love the community. --Seen people get "doxxed" (where their anonymity is broken, and often angry users track down the victim in a rather frightening way). --Seen the outrage the general community expresses at "doxxing", which was heartening. --Seen it used as an amazingly effective social networking and marketing tool. Posts and posters that come across and genuine, informed, and amicable are usually welcomed with open arms, even if they deal with a subject or product Redditors dislike. --Seen it completely backfire as a social networking and marketing tool, which happens when someone uses marketing "tricks" or comes across as anything less than genuine. --Gotten death threats for posting a picture of a squashed coin that made the front page. Reddit can be very weird. --Gotten beautiful, kind, completely random private messages for no reason at all on days where I really need them. Reddit can be very sweet. --Read articles in the Washington Post comparing Reddit to a democratic fiefdom. Sounds about right. --Been exposed to points of view I never would have seen before in my life, simply because of where I live and who I know. It's mind-blowing. The whole website just never ceases to amaze me. Honestly, it sort of reminds me of a MOOC: it's an ever-continuing event where people learn and argue and network.

    This is a brief description of what indigenous knowledge is, and its importance to local cultures in Africa due to it being a system's foundation. The link also touches on the risks of losing this kind of knowledge with the increase of technology. Examples are of how people can be adversely affected by technology.

UE obliga a Google a borrar tus datos si se lo pides - 1 views

  •  
    Este articulo me impresionó porque nunca me habia planteado el infierno que debe ser que te quiten informacion sobre uno mismo que te perjudica y que puede no ser cierta.
  •  
    Algo parecido comenta El País: "Google ha recibido ya más de 70.000 peticiones de internautas para retirar enlaces que les afectan en aplicación del derecho al olvido reconocido por el Tribunal de Justicia de la UE de y ha comenzado a enviar notificaciones a páginas web para informarles de que va a dejar de mostrar en sus resultados determinados enlaces. El pasado 30 de mayo publicó un formulario para que los usuarios europeos pudieran solicitar la eliminación de los resultados del buscador ligados a sus nombres. Según anunció entonces Google, cada petición sería analizada de forma individual. La británica BBC ha sido la primera en encontrarse con un aviso de Google, anunciando que dejará de indexar un post escrito en 2007 en el blog Peston Picks, del periodista Robert Peston, sobre un antiguo jefe de inversiones de Merrill Lynch. Peston, autor de la pieza, ha escrito otro artículo en el que muestra su malestar contra la sentencia, que obliga a Google a borrar datos "insuficientes, irrelevantes o que ya no son relevantes" cuando un particular lo solicite. El periodista argumenta que el artículo sobre Stan O'Neal, exdirector de la firma de inversión, mantiene interés y no merece desaparecer: "Un financiero de alto nivel, que sigue en el espectro público y que ha tenido un papel relevante en una de las peores crisis financieras que se recuerdan tiene que aparecer en los resultados". En su opinión esta medida servirá para acotar la libertad de expresión." http://tecnologia.elpais.com/tecnologia/2014/07/03/actualidad/1404405567_813834.html

Not Just Literate, but Transliterate: Encouraging Transliteracy Adoption in Library Ser... - 0 views

  •  
    Open Access also opens up a much wider ability to adopt other forms of information transmission than print. The embedding of the videos into this MOOC is a case in point. As librarians, we are then challenged to ensure that our intermediation, whether through Information Literacy training or direct reference assistance, takes into account the growing need of users to be able to make sense of all forms of communication. This fairly short article addresses this issue and states the challenge we face succintly and to the point!

Balance between open access and protection of intellectual property - 1 views

Academic self-publishing: a not-so-distant-future | Open Scholar C.I.C. - 7 views

    Encuentro muy apropiado el artículo que propones en tu tag, en realidad creo que ha sido una constante del MOOC que hay que celebrar: la mesura, el diálogo, que evita la tendencia hacia una visión naive de los temas que discutimos.
  •  
    Si, porque también se menciona, como dice en su proposición, Harvie et al. (2014) hacen un magnífico trabajo que describe los hechos exasperantes de la actual académico panorama editorial. Todos sabemos cómo funciona el sistema y cómo se juega el juego. Lo que se quiere dar a conocer una realidad alternativa facilitada por la plataforma de revisión por pares abierto gratuito, libre y sugerir acciones concretas que ayuden al movimiento científico comunidad hacia un sistema de evaluación de conocimientos y el intercambio más abierto y eficiente que se divorcia de revisión por pares desde la publicación de revistas.
  •  
    The proposed alternative future is achievable, but not without resistance of traditional publishing, I think.
