1 like•278 views

The document discusses authorship and metadata in digital contexts. It notes that anyone can be considered an author if publishing is defined narrowly, but not everyone can be a true Author. It also examines how readers interact with screen-based texts by actualizing possibilities rather than simply consuming. Additionally, it explores how user-generated metadata and data are appropriated by technology companies and treated as objective facts and unowned property separate from users' creative activities, neglecting the link between user data and user-generated content.

...anyone can be an author, if the understanding of
publishing is limited to the admittedly narrow criterion
of “making public.” ... Anyone can be an author, but not
everyone can be an Author. (93)

readers writing the text

Wednesday, March 6, 13

In these various screen-based textualities, authorship is
less a matter of asserting a thesis or a plot than it is of
providing a range of possibilities. In this way, the act of
reading becomes more akin to actualization (and
choice) rather than simple consumption.
Correspondingly, the author of such text is responsible
for a range of possibilities, a range that might be judged
according to variety or ﬂexibility instead of clarity,
brevity, or sincerity. And texts themselves are
performed processes of interactions rather than
objects. (98)

user-generated metadata

Wednesday, March 6, 13

User data, then, is not seen as created by an author-
user, but rather as a by-product of technological
algorithms and aggregation formulas. The means, terms,
and applications of user contributions are not
controlled by the authors of those contributions, but by
technology companies that seek to harness them for
commercial ends... Current data-mining practices
prevent author-users from controlling the creation,
distribution, and uses of their work. ...

Wednesday, March 6, 13

The data itself isn’t viewed as the result of human
creativity or effort. Technology companies and data
brokers, in this sense, are taking something that has
little or no value as separate, individual data points and
creating something of commercial value by aggregating
and interpreting it. Such appropriation is based on the
assumptions that data as property is separable and
unique from individual users’ creative activities on the
social and participatory web and further that data is a
technology-generated by product. As authorless
objects, the argument goes, data has little value until it
is aggregated and transformed into massive data sets
and applied toward target marketing and customization
of services (524)

Feist Publications vs Rural Telephone
(data vs content)

Wednesday, March 6, 13

Understanding data as objective facts, and, further, as
unowned property, works to remove users from a
creative role in its production. What such a distinction
neglects to address, however, is that user data is a form
of user contribution that is inextricably bound to an
author-user’s content creations: the generation of data
is tied--by user, time, activity, and technology--to the
production of content, and vice versa (525).

We work on a theory to facilitate data analysis for discovery of meaningful collective information sharing patterns in very large data streams. By focusing only on coincidence of information occurrence, we can capture and analyse emergent collective action across system boundaries and independent from social network contexts.

Intro to Wikis and More on Distance CollaborationKrista Kennedy

��

The document discusses wikis and their uses and limitations. It notes that wikis are best suited for big, collaborative projects that require letting go of the idea of individual work and embracing collaboration. However, wikis may not be well-suited for personal projects that impact one's digital identity or private matters meant for only one person. The document also presents differing views about whether technology enhances or hinders community, with one viewpoint arguing it revolutionizes community and the other concerned it may replace human interaction.

Usability: NavigationKrista Kennedy

The document discusses usability testing of website navigation. It notes that navigation helps users find what they are looking for, tells them where they are and what is available, and builds confidence in the website. The document then recommends simplifying navigation elements, providing navigation for multiple browsing behaviors, and using methods like silent observation, talk-aloud protocols and interviews to test navigation usability. Testers should develop protocols including browsing prompts, behavior coding, and information presentation formats.

‘Personal data literacies’: A critical literacies approach to enhancing understandings of personal digital data. Luci Pangrazio Deakin University, Australia Neil Selwyn Monash University, Australia Abstract The capacity to understand and control one’s personal data is now a crucial part of living in contemporary society. In this sense, traditional concerns over supporting the development of ‘digital literacy’ are now being usurped by concerns over citizens’ ‘data literacies’. In contrast to recent data safety and data science approaches, this article argues for a more critical form of ‘personal data literacies’ where digital data are understood as socially situated and context dependent. Drawing on the critical literacies tradition, the article outlines a range of salient socio-technical understandings of personal data generation and processing. Specifically, the article proposes a framework of ‘Personal Data Literacies’ that distinguishes five significant domains: (1) Data Identification, (2) Data Understandings, (3) Data Reflexivity, (4) Data Uses, and (5) Data Tactics. The article concludes by outlining the implications of this framework for future education and research around the area of individuals’ understandings of personal data.

Big Data, Communities and Ethical Resilience: A Framework for ActionThe Rockefeller Foundation

��

This document presents a framework for using big data and technology to build community resilience in an ethical manner. It discusses six key domains: 1) Ethics, which should guide all projects to enhance individual agency and avoid harm, 2) Governance, to ensure community interests are prioritized, 3) Science, to properly test hypotheses and avoid false correlations, 4) Technology, which enables data collection but can create vulnerabilities, 5) Place, to consider local context, and 6) Sociocultural context, to understand community values and power structures. The framework aims to safeguard against failures by addressing weaknesses from the start through considering all six domains together.

Computational social science uses computational tools to study human behavior through large digital datasets. It enables new types of large-scale and high-frequency research but also raises privacy and bias concerns. While computational methods provide advantages like access to more data, validation of findings is still important given issues like missing groups, fake content, and platform biases in digital data. Computational social science is an emerging interdisciplinary field that will continue to be important as human behavior becomes increasingly digitized.

The Role of Social Networking in Securing CyberspaceJoe Billingsley

��

The document discusses social networks and their role in securing cyberspace. It argues that social networks like the Cyber Security Forum Initiative (CSFI) and Military Cyber Professionals Association (MCPA) can help secure cyberspace by enabling professionals to connect, share information, and solve problems collectively. These organizations work to increase participation by offering free membership and reducing barriers. By bringing together people with different backgrounds, social networks like CSFI and MCPA can greatly increase information sharing and speed of problem solving. They help build trust within the community to address cyber threats.

The document discusses the concept of "databanking" as a new paradigm that could emerge as more user data is stored in cloud data centers. It envisions databanks leveraging user data like search, clickstreams with user permission to provide personalized recommendations and content. Databanks would reward users based on the value they create for others and could enable new forms of linked, social browsing and discussion where users help structure content. The databanking model may also apply to enterprises through analytics on user data and interactions.

Finally, they discuss the importance of threat modeling in security design.

Don't let data get in the way of a good storymark madsen

��

Storytelling is not about raising someone’s IQ, it’s about raising their blood pressure. Stories engage emotions rather than intellect, making “storytelling with data” a poor metaphor for data visualization when our goal is to communicate clearly. People are often confused or misled by “story”, thinking they need a classical story structure with protagonists, action and resolution when the job may be simpler, or more complicated. Some of the storytelling tools and suggestions vendors promote would get you kicked out of your boss’s office you used them without taking into account their goals and context. Narrative is what we are really talking about, not story. We need to focus our attention on narrative techniques rather than “story” and its forced linear structure. This means understanding why we want to communicate: is it to explain, to build shared understanding, to convince others that our interpretation is the right one? We use visualization as a tool for many different purposes, communication being one. The idea of narratives with data is a good one, but not all narrative is story. The purpose of this talk is to provide clarity around the goals of communicating with data and to provide a goal-oriented framework that escapes the bad metaphorical frame imposed by “storytelling”.

Measuring privacy in online socialijsptm

��

This document discusses methods for measuring privacy in online social networks. It first introduces the concept of the Privacy Index (PIDX), which quantifies a user's privacy exposure based on their visible attributes. It then describes calculating a user's Privacy Quotient (PQ) using a naive approach, which considers the sensitivity and visibility of shared profile items. Finally, it proposes a new model called Privacy Armor that would measure privacy leaks in unstructured data like posts and messages using an Item Response Theory model to calculate sensitivity, visibility, and privacy quotient. The goal is to warn users about unintended sharing of private information online.

MEASURING PRIVACY IN ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKSClaraZara1

��

Online Social Networking has gained tremendous popularity amongst the masses. It is usual for the users of Online Social Networks (OSNs) to share information with friends however they lose privacy. Privacy has become an important concern in online social networks. Users are unaware of the privacy risks involved when they share their sensitive information in the network.[1] One of the fundamental challenging issues is measurement of privacy .It is hard for social networking sites and users to make and adjust privacy settings to protect privacy without practical and effective way to quantify , measure and evaluate privacy. In this paper, we discussed Privacy Index (PIDX) which is used to measure a user’s privacy exposure in a social network. We have also described and calculated the Privacy Quotient (PQ) i.e. a metric to measure the privacy of the user’s profile using the naive approach. [2] The users should be aware of their privacy quotient and should know where they stand in the privacy measuring scale. At last we have proposed a model that will ensure privacy in the unstructured data. It will utilize the Item Response Theory model to measure the privacy leaks in the messages and text that is being posted by the users of the online social networking sites.

Multimode network based efficient and scalable learning of collective behaviorIAEME Publication

��

This document discusses multimode network-based approaches for efficiently learning collective behavior in large social networks. It provides an overview of existing approaches for predicting collective behavior based on the behaviors of connected individuals. Specifically, it describes methods that extract social dimensions from networks to represent affiliations between actors and then apply supervised learning to determine which dimensions are informative for behavior prediction. However, existing approaches do not scale well to networks with millions of actors. The document proposes a new edge-centric clustering approach to extract sparse social dimensions, enabling the efficient handling of very large networks while maintaining predictive performance.

Data provenance - world in 2030Future Agenda

��

Data Provenance is the third of Future Agenda’s ‘World in 2030’ foresights. In our data abundant, interconnected world mutual dependencies are often at the heart of key infrastructure. In this ever-expanding environment, it is vital to ensure that data systems are trusted. This is where data provenance comes in. Knowing the origin of data can help to assess its quality, accuracy and reliability. It also allows us to assess value and ownership and could contribute to the redistribution of profit when data is resold or reused. But does ubiquitous provenance mean that we will never be able to do anything, even remotely privately, ever again? And will the benefits of greater cyber security be an adequate compensation for this? Drawn from multiple expert discussions around the world, this foresight is one of 50 looking at the key issues for the next decade that are being shared throughout 2020. https://www.futureagenda.org/foresights/dataprovenance/ https://www.futureagenda.org/the-world-in-2030/

Data Anonymization for Privacy Preservation in Big Datarahulmonikasharma

��

Cloud computing provides capable ascendable IT edifice to provision numerous processing of a various big data applications in sectors such as healthcare and business. Mainly electronic health records data sets and in such applications generally contain privacy-sensitive data. The most popular technique for data privacy preservation is anonymizing the data through generalization. Proposal is to examine the issue against proximity privacy breaches for big data anonymization and try to recognize a scalable solution to this issue. Scalable clustering approach with two phase consisting of clustering algorithm and K-Anonymity scheme with Generalisation and suppression is intended to work on this problem. Design of the algorithms is done with MapReduce to increase high scalability by carrying out dataparallel execution in cloud. Wide-ranging researches on actual data sets substantiate that the method deliberately advances the competence of defensive proximity privacy breaks, the scalability and the efficiency of anonymization over existing methods. Anonymizing data sets through generalization to gratify some of the privacy attributes like k- Anonymity is a popularly-used type of privacy preserving methods. Currently, the gauge of data in numerous cloud surges extremely in agreement with the Big Data, making it a dare for frequently used tools to actually get, manage, and process large-scale data for a particular accepted time scale. Hence, it is a trial for prevailing anonymization approaches to attain privacy conservation for big data private information due to scalabilty issues.

This document summarizes a research article about social media data mining and public agency. It discusses how social media data mining is currently used to create "known publics" by large corporations and governments, but raises concerns that this results in less privacy, increased surveillance, and social discrimination. However, the document argues that data mining could be democratized to create "knowing publics" by making data mining more transparent and accessible to the public, and using it in a way that allows publics to understand themselves and act collectively. The document imagines how, if done this way, data mining could empower publics with greater agency over how their data is represented and understood.

Leveraging Blockchain Technology for Enhanced Data Sharing in Environmenta...publication11

��

Data sharing is essential for advancing research and policy in environmental science, where diverse data types including ecological, climatic, and socioeconomic information are generated. Traditional data sharing methods often fall short in security and efficiency, leading to challenges such as data loss and reluctance to share. This essay explores the transformative potential of blockchain technology as a solution for secure, transparent, and efficient data sharing among stakeholders in environmental science. By examining relevant use cases, particularly in marine environments, we highlight how blockchain can facilitate trust, enhance data integrity, and improve collaboration across sectors. Despite its promising applications, challenges such as scalability, regulatory concerns, and the need for stakeholder education remain. The paper concludes with insights into future research directions and the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in overcoming these obstacles.

The Copyright Thing Doesn't Work Here, Part 1Krista Kennedy

��

This document discusses authorship and ownership of traditional knowledge and cultural productions. It notes that while individual inspiration is recognized, control and ownership are often communal and built on contributions from past generations as well as cultural institutions. It argues that strategies for protecting traditional knowledge must acknowledge both individual and communal aspects of creation, and recognize that authorship is situated within temporal, cultural and gendered contexts of apprenticeship and collective production.

Distributed CollaborationKrista Kennedy

��

The document discusses the concepts of distributed collaboration and commons-based peer production (CBPP). It provides three key requirements for successful peer production projects: 1) being modular and divisible into independently producible components, 2) having fine-grained modules to accommodate variously sized contributions, and 3) having low-cost integration mechanisms for quality control and assembly. CBPP depends on large numbers of individuals independently contributing small creative efforts which are then integrated. Successful systems have mechanisms for peer review. The document also discusses factors that enable CBPP, such as nonrivalrous knowledge goods, and incentives and motivations for participation.

The document discusses copyright law and its history and purposes. It covers the Statute of Anne, the first copyright law from 1710, which aimed to encourage learning. It then covers developments in U.S. copyright law over time, including the Constitution giving Congress power to enact copyright law, and various Copyright Acts that expanded protections. Key concepts of fair use, public domain, and international treaties like the Berne Convention are summarized.

Authorship Seminar: The SignatureKrista Kennedy

��

The document discusses the role and importance of signatures and authorship in various contexts. It touches on how signatures are used in law and institutions to determine ownership and validity. It also discusses the concept of auteurism in film and how directors are often constructed and marketed as the sole authors of films for commercial purposes. The discussion further explores how experts rely on notions of authentic authors and signatures to validate works, and how this impacts judgments of authenticity. The concept of fake works and forged signatures is also examined.

This document discusses bots writing texts and their level of agency and authorship. It explores whether bots can be considered authors, writers, or composers. Examples are given of bots fixing typos, adding facts, reverting vandalism, and performing other editing tasks on Wikipedia. Statistics provided indicate that for one article, 88% of the text was bot-generated and bots performed 21 out of 35 edits, suggesting bots can be highly productive wiki editors.

Intellectual property basicsKrista Kennedy

The document discusses intellectual property and copyright. It notes that all original creative works are automatically copyrighted upon creation. It describes what copyright gives the creator control over, including reproduction, derivatives, distribution, public performance, and digital transmission. The document outlines exceptions to copyright restrictions such as works in the public domain, fair use, Creative Commons, and GNU/Linux works. It provides guidance on determining what constitutes fair use based on factors like the purpose of the use, amount used, and commercial effects. The document also notes that modern authorship is often collaborative, distributed, and involves assembling preexisting information in new ways.

This document discusses the history of intellectual property issues within the field of rhetoric and composition dating back to the 1960s. It addresses how scholars have long been attentive to legal and economic factors that impact their work and classrooms. Key topics that have been discussed include notions of authorship, the impact of changing technologies, and concerns about how restrictive copyright laws and corporate interests could negatively influence teaching and scholarship. The document also examines calls to reimagine writing and authorship in a way that values collaboration over individual ownership and promotes the growth of a shared cultural commons.

Authorship: Feminist PerspectivesKrista Kennedy

This document discusses feminist perspectives on authorship and textual ownership. It references several French feminist theorists including Hélène Cixous who advocated for "l'écriture féminine" or feminine writing. Cixous believed that writing is inherently feminine and connected to the maternal body. The document also discusses how authorship has been viewed as a gendered concept with myths of solitary male authorship. Andrea Lunsford addresses how a feminist approach could reframe ideas of collaborative authorship and situated authority through interconnection rather than sole ownership.

Social Bookmarking w/ DiigoKrista Kennedy

The document discusses tagging and social bookmarking as ways to organize and retrieve information. It notes that tagging is simple, flexible, and tags can be aggregated. A taxonomy is a formal classification system, while a folksonomy allows for bottom-up collaborative tagging by multiple users. Folksonomies allow for evolving terminology and viewpoints but can be messy. To simplify, tags should use basic lowercase terms without punctuation. There are four types of tags: descriptive, resource, ownership/source, and self-reference.

The document discusses various views on authorship, genius, and rhetoric from the 18th-19th centuries. It mentions that 18th century Scottish rhetoricians like Hugh Blair were more interested in how discourse appealed to taste and propriety rather than reasoning. The document also discusses Sharon Crowley's critique of 19th century assumptions that genius and successful composition depend on innate talents rather than teaching. Additionally, it covers views from various thinkers on invention, imagination, tradition, and the relationship between creativity and reality.

Authorship 20cKrista Kennedy

��

The document discusses the evolving definition of an "author" in cultural and legal contexts. It notes that historically, being an author did not signify a high-status profession, but rather distinguished cultural labor from industrial labor. To be considered an author, work needed to be in approved mediums and show the imprint of the creator's personality. Over time, mass cultural works challenged this definition as they involved new technologies and collaborative labor. The essay argues we must analyze the relationships between culture and industry, and proposes considering authorship in terms of collective and responsible cultural labor rather than isolated genius.

Basic project managementKrista Kennedy

Young explores the concepts of genius, originality, and imitation in his piece "Conjectures on Original Composition." He compares original works to a blooming spring arising from a barren waste, while imitations have quicker growth but fainter bloom. Imitators build on others' foundations, while originals extend the boundaries of knowledge.

The document discusses the Statute of Anne, the first copyright law, passed in 1710 in England. It established copyright protection for published works for a renewable term of 14 years for new works and 21 years for existing works. The statute aimed to encourage learning by granting authors and booksellers property rights over copies of their published books. It provided remedies against copyright infringement including forfeiture and fines. The statute also required registration and deposit of copies with certain libraries. It did not include any provisions for censorship.

Information architecture involves structuring, organizing and labeling information on websites in a logical way so that users can easily find and manage content. It is both an art and a science. The document emphasizes that websites are dynamic environments that evolve over time based on user needs and behaviors, not static constructs. Effective information architecture considers the context, content, and users of a particular system to design organizational structures and navigation that meet user needs.

Second Sophistic, Medieval, and Renaissance Views on AuthorshipKrista Kennedy

��

The document discusses views on authorship from various historical periods: 1) During the Second Sophistic period (roughly 100-230 AD), authorship was seen as an inventional act focused on interpreting scriptures and embellishing sermons. 2) In the Middle Ages, invention influenced rhetorical theory, theology, and logic. Three new rhetorical arts also emerged: letter writing, preaching, and poetry. 3) During the Renaissance, debates reignited about the nature, purposes and epistemologies of invention. Scholars like Thomas Wilson and Francis Bacon discussed the role of invention and whether it belonged to rhetoric or logic.

Crowdsourcing and the Future of WorkKrista Kennedy

��

The document discusses the concept of crowdsourcing and online communities. It mentions how internet presence and online communities have become important in today's workplace. Various ideas are proposed for crowdsourced projects, such as a cancer genome project or a SyrGuide idea. The key aspects that make crowd-driven collaboration work are discussed as self-identification, self-selection, affinity, and nimble partners. Crowdsourcing is proposed as a theme to explore further this semester.

9. In these various screen-based textualities, authorship is less a matter of asserting a thesis or a plot than it is of providing a range of possibilities. In this way, the act of reading becomes more akin to actualization (and choice) rather than simple consumption. Correspondingly, the author of such text is responsible for a range of possibilities, a range that might be judged according to variety or ﬂexibility instead of clarity, brevity, or sincerity. And texts themselves are performed processes of interactions rather than objects. (98) Wednesday, March 6, 13

11. user-generated metadata Wednesday, March 6, 13

12. User data, then, is not seen as created by an author- user, but rather as a by-product of technological algorithms and aggregation formulas. The means, terms, and applications of user contributions are not controlled by the authors of those contributions, but by technology companies that seek to harness them for commercial ends... Current data-mining practices prevent author-users from controlling the creation, distribution, and uses of their work. ... Wednesday, March 6, 13

13. The data itself isn’t viewed as the result of human creativity or effort. Technology companies and data brokers, in this sense, are taking something that has little or no value as separate, individual data points and creating something of commercial value by aggregating and interpreting it. Such appropriation is based on the assumptions that data as property is separable and unique from individual users’ creative activities on the social and participatory web and further that data is a technology-generated by product. As authorless objects, the argument goes, data has little value until it is aggregated and transformed into massive data sets and applied toward target marketing and customization of services (524) Wednesday, March 6, 13

15. Understanding data as objective facts, and, further, as unowned property, works to remove users from a creative role in its production. What such a distinction neglects to address, however, is that user data is a form of user contribution that is inextricably bound to an author-user’s content creations: the generation of data is tied--by user, time, activity, and technology--to the production of content, and vice versa (525).
