Linked Democracy (book)
by Eleonora Bassi June 18, 2019

June 18, 2019

Segnalo una stimolante lettura: *Linked Democracy. Foundations, Tools, and Applications* by *Poblet*, Marta, *Casanovas*, Pompeu, *Rodríguez-Doncel*, Víctor SpringerBriefs in Law, 2019 (disponibile in open access) https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030133627 This open access book shows the factors linking information flow, social intelligence, rights management and modelling with epistemic democracy, offering licensed linked data along with information about the rights involved. This model of democracy for the web of data brings new challenges for the social organisation of knowledge, collective innovation, and the coordination of actions. Licensed linked data, licensed linguistic linked data, right expression languages, semantic web regulatory models, electronic institutions, artificial socio-cognitive systems are examples of regulatory and institutional design (regulations by design). The web has been massively populated with both data and services, and semantically structured data, the linked data cloud, facilitates and fosters human-machine interaction. Linked data aims to create ecosystems to make it possible to browse, discover, exploit and reuse data sets for applications. Rights Expression Languages semi-automatically regulate the use and reuse of content. Buona lettura, Eleonora

NYT: "U.S. Escalates Online Attacks on Russia’s Power Grid"
by J.C. DE MARTIN June 17, 2019

June 17, 2019

*U.S. Escalates Online Attacks on Russia’s Power Grid** * By David E. Sanger and Nicole Perlroth June 15, 2019 WASHINGTON — The United States is stepping up digital incursions into Russia’s electric power grid in a warning to President Vladimir V. Putin and a demonstration of how the Trump administration is using new authorities to deploy cybertools more aggressively, current and former government officials said. In interviews over the past three months, the officials described the previously unreported deployment of American computer code inside Russia’s grid and other targets as a classified companion to more publicly discussed action directed at Moscow’s disinformation and hacking units around the 2018 midterm elections.

70° Nexa Lunch Seminar | 26 giugno 2019

Nexa Center for Internet and Society Newsletter Se non visualizzi correttamente questo messaggio clicca qui <http://nexa.polito.it/lunch-70> NEXA 70° Nexa Lunch Seminar Mercoledi 26 giugno 2019, ore 13.00 - 14.00 Politecnico di Torino http://nexa.polito.it/lunch-70 Understanding Airbnb in Southern European cities Speaker Chiara Iacovone (Future Urban Legacy lab) This event will be webcast live: https://nexa.polito.it/nexa-hangout-on-air Short-term rental platforms are strongly present in the current debate over socio-spatial dynamics of contemporary cities as commodifying actors of public and private spaces. *Airbnb, as the most ubiquitous and pervasive of these platforms*, is being scrutinized by the press and by academics. The purpose of this project is to question the economic structure of Airbnb and to unveil hidden phenomena as dynamics in the ongoing polarization of society, and therefore *interpreting Airbnb as an indicator of social discomfort and precariousness rather than of innovation*. Assuming this statement, the discourse regarding platform urbanism could be implemented and considered an additional tool to investigate inequalities in cities, giving relevance to place-based information and what it can possibly imply in a human geographical perspective. The paper focuses on post-crisis cities, in particular on a set of major Southern European ones (Athens, Thessaloniki, Palermo, Naples, Lisbon, Porto, Seville, Madrid) so as *to trace and visualize specific socio-spatial effects of the economic crisis *through the analysis of platform urbanization. The results will be shown with the aim of collecting cases and comparing them, to obtain a broader frame to analyze the phenomenon. /Ingresso libero - Sarà disponibile un leggero rinfresco per coloro che si saranno registrati su http://lunch70.eventbrite.com entro il 24 giugno./ BIOGRAFIE - e informazioni supplementari [Iacovone] *Chiara IACOVONE* is a PhD candidate in Urban and Regional Development at Polytechnic of Turin and member of the interdepartmental center Future Urban Legacy Lab <https://full.polito.it/>.
