Italy Attempting To Have Copyright Enforced By Regulators, Not Courts.
by Fulvio Sarzana Dec. 3, 2013

Dec. 3, 2013

A year and a half ago, we thought this plan was <http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120504/04252118780/italian-govt-gives-up -trying-to-regulate-copyright-online.shtml> dead in the water, but apparently while we weren't paying attention, a plan moved forward in Italy to take significant copyright enforcement powers out of the courts and, instead, give it to the Italian regulator AGCOM. If you want to see a recipe for a bad idea, this is it. Regulators are very much subject to regulatory capture, and a regulatory board entirely focused on copyright enforcement will almost certainly be controlled by maximalists who come from industry, rather than those with the public benefit in mind. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20131121/23374025331/italy-attempting-to-ha ve-copyright-enforced-regulators-not-courts.shtml --- Questa e-mail è priva di virus e malware perché è attiva la protezione avast!

IPP2014 Conference Call: "Crowdsourcing for Politics and Policy"
by Calderaro, Andrea Dec. 2, 2013

Dec. 2, 2013

Ciao tutt*, di sotto la call per la Internet, Policy & Politics Conference all'OII che l'anno prossimo (2014) sara' su "Crowdsourcing for Politics and Policy", che immagino possa interessare a qualcuno in lista. Andrea --- Dear all, The journal Policy and Internet will be holding its third conference (co-convened by the OII, in collaboration with the ECPR) next 25-26 September in Oxford, on the subject of crowdsourcing. We are currently calling for abstracts. Conference: http://ipp.oii.ox.ac.uk/ Call: http://ipp.oii.ox.ac.uk/2014/call-for-papers Abstract deadline: 14 March 2014. Location: Thursday 25 - Friday 26 September 2014, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford. Convenors: Helen Margetts (OII), Vili Lehdonvirta (OII), David Sutcliffe (OII), Sandra Gonzalez-Bailon (Annenberg, UPenn), Andrea Calderaro (EUI). Contact: policyandinternet(a)oii.ox.ac.uk<mailto:policyandinternet@oii.ox.ac.uk> #ipp2014 ** Rationale ** Crowdsourcing - the provision of goods by large numbers of people contributing via an online platform - is used to generate and sustain policy ideas, labour markets, business investment, charitable donations, knowledge commons (such as Wikipedia), cultural goods and artefacts, libraries, government transparency, public management reform, education, scientific development and the institutions of democracy itself. This pattern of technology-enabled institutional change, where a known few are replaced by an indefinite many, has deep and diverse implications for government, business, civil society, democratic life and public policy-making. Researchers and policy-makers have barely begun to examine the opportunities and challenges that the crowdsourcing model presents. The Internet, Politics, Policy 2014 conference is dedicated to facilitating discussion on crowdsourcing across disciplinary boundaries. The conference calls for papers on the observed and potential implications of crowdsourcing for politics, policy and academic practice. Perspectives are welcomed from across science, social science and the humanities as well as from academic and policy-making communities. We aim to identify both what is novel in crowdsourcing, and the ways it enables and extends existing social and political processes. ** Topics ** The conference aims to attract papers from a range of disciplines analysing crowdsourcing-related phenomena. We welcome both theoretical and empirical papers reporting original research on crowdsourcing and related concepts such as microwork, peer production, human computing, co-creation, open innovation and e-government. We particularly welcome comparative approaches and papers drawing on new empirical findings and novel research methods. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): How is crowdsourcing changing politics? Topics of interest include citizen participation in government and the political process, and online collective action. Uses of big data in evidence-based public policy, including probabilistic, and conditional and predictive policy-making and the use of social media data for government self-improvement. Online labor markets, new organizational forms, and the blurring of boundaries between work and play, as well as the economics of crowdsourcing more generally. Co-production and co-creation of public policy, through (for example) the use of feedback facilities, rating, ranking and reputation applications. Crowdsourcing for conflict management, peace building and humanitarian intervention, including crisis mapping. Crowdsourcing for educational, scientific and technological development, such as citizen science, crowd-funding, massive online open courses, and the methodological, epistemological and ethical issues involved. New methods for analyzing crowdsourcing, such as computational social science and big data analytics, including sentiment analysis, topic classification, sampling from social media platforms, and inferring from socially generated data to the wider population. Ethical issues arising from the use of such methods, such as de-anonymisation, privacy, and inequalities created by the use of predictive analytics in decisions concerning individuals. When crowds turn into mobs: online hate groups, organized cyberbullying, their dynamics and effective policy responses. Perspectives from any academic discipline are welcomed, including: political science, economics, law, sociology, medicine, information science, communications, philosophy, computer science, physics, psychology, management, organization science, geography and humanities. Papers should attempt to frame their object of study in relation to established concepts and theories. 'Crowdsourcing' need not be the central concept in a paper as long as it deals with the issues and topics identified in this call. ** Proposal submission ** * Paper proposals Paper proposals should consist of a title and a 1,000-word extended abstract that specifies and motivates the research question, describes the methods and data used, and summarises the main findings. Abstracts will be peer reviewed, and the authors of accepted proposals are expected to submit full papers prior to the conference. Applicants will have the opportunity to co-submit their paper to the journal Policy and Internet, which will operate a fast-track review process for papers accepted to the conference. Paper submissions can also be considered for a Best Paper Award (sponsored by the journal Policy and Internet). The prize will be awarded at the closing session of the conference. As the paper is intended to be published in a future issue of the journal, authors should indicate whether they would like their paper to be considered for the prize. * Poster proposals Posters should summarise in a visually engaging manner the purpose, methods and results of an original piece of research. All accepted submissions will be considered for a Best Poster Award. The prize will be awarded at the closing session of the conference. ** Important dates ** Extended abstract submission deadline: 14 March 2014 Decisions on abstracts: 14 April 2014 Full paper / poster submission deadline (for accepted abstracts): 15 August 2014 Conference dates: Thursday 25 - Friday 26 September 2014.

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.
