R: Francia_ a proposito di open data

by Raimondo Iemma

Senz'altro interessante. Pur continuando a ritenere auspicabile l'utilizzo di CC o Open Data Commons per il rilascio di informazione del settore pubblico, la Licence Ouverte - rispetto ad esempio alla nostra IODL - sembra avere alcuni punti a favore: (i) non incorpora alcun attributo virale (approccio che permette di evitare eventuali ostacoli, anche non voluti, al riutilizzo commerciale); (ii) è esplicitamente compatibile non solo con CC-BY e ODC-By, ma anche con la Open Government Licence (UK), il che mi pare un aspetto rilevante nella direzione indicata dalla Ce in termini di interoperabilità e sostegno a un mercato pan-europeo dei dati.

Re: [nexa] Il Partito Pirata si presenta alle elezioni (e io sono d'accordo)

Anche gli altri partiti, nuovi e vecchi, si presenteranno alle elezioni. :-) E sarebbe importante che i temi della libertà e della democratizzazione del paese, della rete e dei diritti digitali diventassero un "tema trasversale" comune a tutte le forze politiche. O no? ;-) luca -- Passa al software libero!

follow up sulla censura in Syria

by donna d.r.

ciao a tutti della lista Nexa, vi sono grata se potete dare un`occhiata a questo comunicato diffuso dalla ditta Area a seguito delle proteste e poi una domanda: c`e un modo per fare una pressione legale sull`UE in modo da includere anche cose di questo tipo nel pacchetto sanzioni? pare che adesso non rientrano, e infatti pare che quello che fa Area sia perfettamente legale, anche in una situazione cosi delicata come quella di oggi con la siria grazie per il vostro prezioso aiuto donatella

Berkman Center Webcast live oggi ore 18.30 - Program Your City: Legal and Governance Issues of an Urban Integrated Open Data API

by Giuseppe Futia

*Program Your City: Legal and Governance Issues of an Urban Integrated Open Data API *<http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2011/11/cowie>http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2011/11/foth* * ** Marcus Foth, Queensland University of Technology Today, 6.30 pm Webcast live: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/interactive/webcast http://nexa.polito.it/berkman-webcast-live The physical city is covered with an increasing number of layers of digital information. At the same time, there is a significant trend towards incorporating location data into web and mobile applications: /The urbanisation of the internet, and the digitisation of the city./ Recent 'Government 2.0' initiatives have led to the creation of public data catalogues such as data.gov.au (U.S.), data.gov.uk (U.K.), data.gov.au (Australia) on federal government levels, and datasf.org (San Francisco) and data.london.gov.uk (London) on municipal levels. In most cases, these initiatives produce mere collections of data repositories. However, proprietary database formats and the lack of an open application programming interface (API) often limit the full potential that could be achieved by allowing these data sets to be cross-queried. This talk presents the proposal for an information substrate with an integrated open data API -- in a way, an operating system for cities that integrates three types of data sources: * Public government data (traffic, public transport, health, population, etc.) * Social media data (eg., Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.) * Sensor network data (domestic energy monitoring, river gauges, weather, etc.) The primary goal is to put intuitively accessible real-time data into the hands of citizens and residents and unleash the creative capacity of programmers and end-users who will be able to create, share (or sell) their own custom-made web and mobile based decision-support tools and applications that take advantage of data mash-ups comprising all three types of data sources and tailored to specific needs. The talk will present a number of potential demonstrator applications that illustrate the capabilities of the proposed infrastructure with a view to specifically discuss the legal, policy, copyright and goverance issues and implications that may arise.

NY Times: "Who Decides Who You Are Online?"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

November 14, 2011 Who Decides Who You Are Online? By SOMINI SENGUPTA <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/s/somini_sengupt…> SAN FRANCISCO --- The writer Salman Rushdie <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/r/salman_rushdie…> hit Twitter <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/twitter/index.html?in…> on Monday morning with a flurry of exasperated posts. Facebook <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/facebook_inc/index.ht…>, he wrote, had deactivated his account <https://www.facebook.com/rushdie?sk=wall>, demanded proof of identity and then turned him into Ahmed Rushdie, which is how he is identified on his passport. He had never used his first name, Ahmed, he pointed out; the world knows him as Salman. Would Facebook, he scoffed, have turned J. Edgar Hoover into John Hoover? "Where are you hiding, Mark?" he demanded of Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's chief executive, in one post <http://twitter.com/#%21/SalmanRushdie/status/136126556421623809>. "Come out here and give me back my name!" The Twitterverse took up his cause. Within two hours, Mr. Rushdie gleefully declared victory <http://twitter.com/#%21/SalmanRushdie/status/136141997038776321>: "Facebook has buckled! I'm Salman Rushdie again. I feel SO much better. An identity crisis at my age is no fun." Mr. Rushdie's predicament points to one of the trickiest notions about life in the digital age: Are you who you say you are online? Whose business is it --- and why? As the Internet becomes the place for all kinds of transactions, from buying shoes to overthrowing despots, an increasingly vital debate is emerging over how people represent and reveal themselves on the Web sites they visit. One side envisions a system in which you use a sort of digital passport, bearing your real name and issued by a company like Facebook, to travel across the Internet. Another side believes in the right to don different hats --- and sometimes masks --- so you can consume and express what you want, without fear of offline repercussions.

Fwd: [ NNSquad ] Vint Cerf: The government is going overboard in Internet copyright control

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ NNSquad ] Vint Cerf: The government is going overboard in Internet copyright control Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2011 16:20:57 -0800 From: Lauren Weinstein <lauren(a)vortex.com> To: nnsquad(a)nnsquad.org Vint Cerf: The government is going overboard in Internet copyright control http://j.mp/vwooUt (VentureBeat) "When asked what he would tell the developer of the Next Big Thing, the technology that could replace the Internet, Cerf said, "Shoot the patent lawyer." The room, which was full of chief information officers for large, proprietary companies, burst into both laughter and applause. Cerf continued, "Bob [Kahn] and I knew we could not succeed if we tried to protect the Internet's design. As it turns out that worked out really well, and I think that's still pretty good advice." Cerf also spoke out against the Department of Homeland Security's recent seizures of websites, such as last year's seizure of scores of music sites and communities for copyright violations, which he called "a blunt instrument that can and should be exercised much more carefully." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren(a)vortex.com) http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://vortex.com/g+lauren Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com
