new Journal: "Big Data & Society"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Nov. 29, 2013

Nov. 29, 2013

http://bigdatasoc.blogspot.it *About the Journal* Big Data & Society (BD&S) is an open access peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes interdisciplinary work principally in the social sciences, humanities and computing and their intersections with the arts and natural sciences about the implications of Big Data for societies. The Journal's key purpose is to provide a space for connecting debates about the emerging field of Big Data practices and how they are reconfiguring academic, social, industry, business and government relations, expertise, methods, concepts and knowledge. BD&S moves beyond usual notions of Big Data and treats it as an emerging field of practices that is not defined by but generative of (sometimes) novel data qualities such as high volume and granularity and complex analytics such as data linking and mining. It thus attends to digital content generated through online and offline practices in social, commercial, scientific, and government domains. This includes, for instance, content generated on the Internet through social media and search engines but also that which is generated in closed networks (commercial or government transactions) and open networks such as digital archives, open government and crowdsourced data. Critically, rather than settling on a definition the Journal makes this an object of interdisciplinary inquiries and debates explored through studies of a variety of topics and themes. BD&S seeks contributions that analyse Big Data practices and/or involve empirical engagements and experiments with innovative methods while also reflecting on the consequences for how societies are represented (epistemologies), realised (ontologies) and governed (politics). BD&S is a digital-only journal and its platform accommodates a variety of multimedia to present complex images and dynamic visualisations and video and audio content. Contents include peer reviewed research articles and colloquia as well as sections on bookcasts, think pieces, state-of-the art methods, and work by early career researchers. The Journal is open access thus making its content widely accessible to readers and until 2017 without article processing charges (APCs) for authors. Digital Enhancements Big Data & Society is a born-digital publication and its content is more than simply the mere transposition of a paper version. It will be published on a platform that attends to the presentational issues that Big Data analyses demand (e.g., visualisation, multimedia, interactivity, code) and the challenges that digitisation presents for the future of scientific publishing (e.g., scholarly standards, protocols and scrutiny). One of the Journal's goals is to allow for various digital media in the presentation of research. Some content can be best conveyed using multiple illustrations or video accompaniment. While still adhering to limits in article length, we encourage authors to use rich media and multiple visualisations and, when possible, to include links to data sources in the body of the article. We avoid the use of supplementary files and instead embed all components (figures, tables, video, and any additional data files) in the article. And finally we will provide a space to link articles to other related work such as working papers, blogs, project sites and other relevant materials. In this way peer reviewed articles will be understood as only one element of a network of dissemination and scholarly communication. We will also use the power of open access to make our content as widely available as possible. We have designed a platform that allows for simple and clean presentation of a variety of content. But the initial platform is only the beginning. BD&S will solicit on-going feedback from readers and authors to make the design and presentation of content as accessible and usable as possible. Journal Sections While peer reviewed research articles are the Journal's core content, we will also publish a variety of other content to advance research on and communication about Big Data practices: Peer reviewed research articles. Double blind, triple peer reviewed articles, some of these will also be accompanied by invited short podcasts/vodcasts. Colloquia. Also sometimes referred to as symposia, external guest editors will be invited to convene debates/discussions. Bookcasts. Rather than a book reviews section, authors and one interviewer will be invited to do a brief overview and review of relevant books in video format. Commentaries. This section will provide a space for short submissions on topical issues, controversies, questions, etc. State-of-the-art Demonstrations. The Journal will provide a space for multi-media demonstrations of new methods, visualizations, experiments and approaches to the analysis of Big Data. Early Career Researcher Forum. Short articles will be invited from postgraduate students and early career researchers about their work and projects on Big Data. Editorials. An annual overview of published content along with article and journal metrics and reviewer acknowledgments written by the Editorial Team.

nella riforma del diritto d'autore si pensi anche al fenomeno open licensing
by Simone Aliprandi Nov. 28, 2013

Nov. 28, 2013

Segnalo anche qui la versione sintetica del mio l'intervento al convegno "Diritto d'autore: tra il vecchio e il nuovo" che si è tenuto alla Camera dei Deputati il 2 ottobre 2013. Spero possa risultare un'utile riflessione per chi si occupa di scrivere i disegni di legge (e magari ogni tanto sbircia su questa lista). http://aliprandi.blogspot.it/2013/11/riforma-diritto-autore-open-licensing.… Un cordiale saluto. -- Simone Aliprandi - http://www.aliprandi.org

Richiesta di aiuto nella ricerca di un dato su Internet
by Masera Anna Nov. 28, 2013

Nov. 28, 2013

Buongiorno, chissà se qualcuno in lista mi può aiutare. L'Nsa dice che controlla dati che rappresentano "solo" lo 0,25 % del traffico Internet globale: ma quanto del traffico Internet globale è solo "dati" (quindi x es non streaming, non i video di Youtube per intenderci) e quindi quanto cambierebbe la percentuale controllata da Nsa se si epurasse il traffico? Qualcuno in lista mi sa dire dove trovo quest'informazione? Grazie! Anna Inviato da iPhone

[Nexa Paper]: "Is there such a thing as free government data?" (Internet Policy Review)
by Giuseppe Futia Nov. 27, 2013

Nov. 27, 2013

Is there such a thing as free government data? Internet Policy Review <http://policyreview.info/>, /21 Nov 2013/ /by *Federico Morando*, *Raimondo Iemma*, *Simone Basso*/ The new European public sector information directive, released in June 2013, makes "marginal cost" the default charge for government data. How to implement this principle? A consultation has been issued. This article provides a brief review of the public sector information pricing issues. It then discusses the terms under which the ongoing consultation on the implementation guidelines of the PSI directive addresses pricing. In particular, this article discusses the calculation criteria for marginal costs. The full paper is available at: http://policyreview.info/articles/analysis/there-such-thing-free-government…<http://www.lastampa.it/2013/03/28/cultura/speciali/biennale-democrazia-2013…>

R: ISP e diritto d'autore (conclusioni C-314/12)
by Blengino Nov. 27, 2013

Nov. 27, 2013

Melius re perpensa... ad esser intellettualmente onesti, lo si poteva dire ;) http://www.ilpost.it/carloblengino/2013/11/27/il-copyright-vince-agcom-perde / _____ Da: Blengino [mailto:blengino@penalistiassociati.it] Inviato: martedì 26 novembre 2013 15.01 A: 'Stefano Quintarelli'; 'A Dicorinto'; 'oreste.pollicino' Cc: 'nexa' Oggetto: R: [nexa] ISP e diritto d'autore (conclusioni C-314/12) Confesso che la considerazione: This means that Member States wishing to easily delegate such activity to an administration should re-think their plans (this is for instance the case of the Italian copyright enforcement reform) mi pare un poco forzata. Vi sono nelle considerazioni dellAvvocato Generale alcuni passaggi utili per argomentare contro AGCOM ( ma per questo basta leggere le norme...), ma la deduzione riportata nel Blog citato da Stefano, ad esser intellettualmente onesti, mi pare eccessiva. C. -----Messaggio originale----- Da: nexa-bounces(a)server-nexa.polito.it [mailto:nexa-bounces@server-nexa.polito.it] Per conto di Stefano Quintarelli Inviato: martedì 26 novembre 2013 14.05 A: A Dicorinto; oreste.pollicino Cc: nexa; nexa-bounces; nexa-request Oggetto: Re: [nexa] ISP e diritto d'autore (conclusioni C-314/12) http://is.gd/tBcdQy - the Attorney General stresses that fact that web-blocking is subject to law reservation and should be pursued and reviewed by courts. This means that Member States wishing to easily delegate such activity to an administration should re-think their plans (this is for instance the case of the Italian copyright enforcement reform); - since important rights like freedom of speech, privacy, freedom of business ecc must be guaranteed, some national judges my come to the conclusions, in the concrete circumstances, that web-blocking is an excessive and inadequate measure; I believe that DPI (deep packet inspection) will not be tolerated by national courts; - courts can neither impose general web-blocking measures nor an result obligation: in other words, the web-blocking decision should specifically indicate the technological measures to be undertaken, it cannot consist in a just an order to block access to a certain website, leaving to the ISPs the liability about the effectiviness of the adopted measure. ciao, s.
