Through the Demonstration, it was concluded that while the Government is best placed to describe its functions, industry is working towards automation and would be best placed to provide digital records management systems that would be compatible with the government developed Australian Government Records Interoperability Framework (AGRIF). One industry vendor responded, “I think this means they have decided it is all too hard and could one or more of you vendors do it for us at your cost but to our theoretical and incomplete design? “I guess it will be one of those government projects that goes on More than three years into its multi-million dollar quest to for years and years costing a fortune and then is finally cancelled revolutionise digital record-keeping practices across Federal because technology has passed it by.” government, Australia’s Department of Finance has announced There is also industry concern that the co-design approach another shift in direction and a “review” of the current (and this whole project overall) puts a disproportionately heavy moratorium on new investment in records management burden on SMEs.

  • Modeling Popularity and Reliability of Sources in Multilingual Wikipedia
    information Article Modeling Popularity and Reliability of Sources in Multilingual Wikipedia Włodzimierz Lewoniewski * , Krzysztof W˛ecel and Witold Abramowicz Department of Information Systems, Pozna´nUniversity of Economics and Business, 61-875 Pozna´n,Poland; [email protected] (K.W.); [email protected] (W.A.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 31 March 2020; Accepted: 7 May 2020; Published: 13 May 2020 Abstract: One of the most important factors impacting quality of content in Wikipedia is presence of reliable sources. By following references, readers can verify facts or find more details about described topic. A Wikipedia article can be edited independently in any of over 300 languages, even by anonymous users, therefore information about the same topic may be inconsistent. This also applies to use of references in different language versions of a particular article, so the same statement can have different sources. In this paper we analyzed over 40 million articles from the 55 most developed language versions of Wikipedia to extract information about over 200 million references and find the most popular and reliable sources. We presented 10 models for the assessment of the popularity and reliability of the sources based on analysis of meta information about the references in Wikipedia articles, page views and authors of the articles. Using DBpedia and Wikidata we automatically identified the alignment of the sources to a specific domain. Additionally, we analyzed the changes of popularity and reliability in time and identified growth leaders in each of the considered months. The results can be used for quality improvements of the content in different languages versions of Wikipedia.

  • OSINT) Analyst Overtly Passive / Covertly Active Surveillance / Reconnaissance Observation / Exploration Eye / Spy
    Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Analyst Overtly Passive / Covertly Active Surveillance / Reconnaissance Observation / Exploration Eye / Spy PREFACE This deskside/pocket smartbook contains information to assist you, the open source intelligence analyst, in carrying out your research responsibilities in a Intelligence Oversightmanner that first of all adhere to intelligence oversight and follow the guide lines of AR 381-10, Executive Order 12333, and unit standard operating procedures (SOP). The second is to practice and implement effective operational security (OPSEC) measures during data and information collection activities online. A fine line exists between collection and acquisition, and examples will be pointed out throughout the handbook. This handout is not written specifically for the military active or passive OSINT Analyst but rather as an all-purpose guide for anyone doing research. The one big advantage for the passive OSINT Analyst is that it does not require interaction with the mark. Therefore, it poses little risk since it does not alert the target to the presence of the analyst. If a technique violates Intelligence Oversight and OPSEC, then common sense must take center stage. For those in the civilian community (law enforcement, journalists, researchers, etc.), you are bound by a different set of rules and have more latitude. One important thing to keep in mind is that when threats are mentioned the majority tend to think they are military in nature. We think of Iran, North Korea, and other countries with a military capability. That is not the case. Threats can be the lone wolf types, a disgruntled worker, someone calling in a bomb threat to a hospital, etc.

  • A Framework for Working with Cross-Application Social Tagging Data
    TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT MÜNCHEN FAKULTÜT FÜR INFORMATIK Forschungs- und Lehreinheit XI Angewandte Informatik / Kooperative Systeme A Framework for Working with Cross-Application Social Tagging Data Walter Christian Kammergruber Vollständiger Abdruck der von der Fakultät für Informatik der Technischen Universität München zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) genehmigten Dissertation. Vorsitzender: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Helmut Krcmar Prüfer der Dissertation: 1. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Johann Schlichter 2. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Florian Matthes Die Dissertation wurde am 26.06.2014 bei der Technischen Universität München eingere- icht und durch die Fakultät für Informatik am 26.11.2014 angenommen. Zusammenfassung Mit dem zunehmenden Erfolg des Web 2.0 wurde und wird Social-Tagging immer beliebter, und es wurde zu einem wichtigen Puzzle-Stück dieses Phänomens. Im Unterschied zu ausgefeilteren Methoden um Ressourcen zu organisieren, wie beispielsweise Taxonomien und Ontologien, ist Social-Tagging einfach einzusetzen und zu verstehen. Bedingt durch die Einfachheit finden sich keine expliziten und formalen Strukturen vor. Das Fehlen von Struktur führt zu Problemen beim Wiederaufinden von Informationen, da beispielsweise Mehrdeutigkeiten in Suchanfragen nicht aufgelöst werden können. Zum Beispiel kann ein Tag „dog“ (im Englischen) für des Menschen bester Freund stehen, aber auch für das Lieblingsessen mancher Personen, einem Hot Dog. Ein Bild einer Katze kann mit„angora cat“, „cat“, „mammal“, „animal“oder „creature“getagged sein. Die Art der Tags hängt sehr stark vom individuellen Nutzer ab. Weiterhin sind Social-Tagging-Daten auf verschiedene Applikationen verteilt. Ein gemeinsamer Mediator ist nicht vorhanden. Beispielsweise kann ein Nutzer auf vielen verschiedenen Applikationen Entitäten taggen. Für das Internet kann das Flickr, Delicious, Twitter, Facebook and viele mehr sein.

  • The Data Journalism Handbook
    THE DATA JOURNALISM HANDBOOK Towards a Critical Data Practice Edited by Liliana Bounegru and Jonathan Gray 1 Bounegru & Gray (eds.) The Data Journalism Handbook “This is a stellar collection that spans applied and scholarly perspectives on practices of data journalism, rich with insights into the work of making data tell stories.” − Kate Crawford, New York University + Microsoft Research New York; author of Atlas of AI “Researchers sometimes suffer from what I call journalist-envy. Journalists, after all, write well, meet deadlines, and don’t take decades to complete their research. But the journalistic landscape has changed in ways that scholars should heed. A new, dynamic field—data journalism—is flourishing, one that makes the boundaries between our fields less rigid and more interesting. This exciting new volume interrogates this important shift, offering journalists and researchers alike an engaging, critical introduction to this field. Spanning the globe, with an impressive variety of data and purposes, the essays demonstrate the promise and limits of this form of journalism, one that yields new investigative strategies, one that warrants analysis. Perhaps new forms of collaboration will also emerge, and envy can give way to more creative relations.” − Wendy Espeland, Northwestern University; co-author of Engines of Anxiety: Academic Rankings, Reputation, and Accountability “It is now established that data is entangled with politics and embedded in history and society. This bountiful book highlights the crucial role of data journalists

  • Reenchanting Catholic Literature
    Trying to Say ‘God’: Reenchanting Catholic Literature Welcome writers, artists, and lovers of literature to the 2017 “Trying to Say ‘God’ Literary Gathering”. We’ve added “2017” to the title because we plan to convene this gathering biennially as a way of featuring the art and writing of established, emerging, and aspiring artists of faith. The 2019 event will take place at St. Michael’s College of the University of Toronto, and will return to Notre Dame in 2021. We are delighted to welcome over 200 guests to this first gathering. If anyone suggests that there are no excellent Catholic writers today, just show them the variety of sessions at this gathering and the varied backgrounds of our many presenters. They’ll find that Catholic literature is healthy and vigorous, with a promising future. Thank you for joining us! Planning and Organizing Committee: Kenneth Garcia, University of Notre Dame Dave Griffith, Interlochen Center for the Arts Jessica Mesman Griffith, Sick Pilgrim Sam Rocha, University of British Columbia Jonathan Ryan, Sick Pilgrim Trying to Say God Introduction In a time when traditional religion is viewed as suspect, passé, or offensive, many authors and artists are uncomfortable talking about their personal religion or spirituality, while others grope for new ways to say “God.” They attempt to articulate an amorphous truth in an “elsewhere beyond language,” in the words of Fanny Howe, but use language to explore their way toward it. The Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts at the University of Notre Dame—together with Sick Pilgrim, Patheos, Image Journal, and St.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository ORIENTING FANDOM: THE DISCURSIVE PRODUCTION OF SPORTS AND SPECULATIVE MEDIA FANDOM IN THE INTERNET ERA BY MEL STANFILL DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications with minors in Gender and Women’s Studies and Queer Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor CL Cole, Co-Chair Associate Professor Siobhan Somerville, Co-Chair Professor Cameron McCarthy Assistant Professor Anita Chan ABSTRACT This project inquires into the constitution and consequences of the changing relationship between media industry and audiences after the Internet. Because fans have traditionally been associated with an especially participatory relationship to the object of fandom, the shift to a norm of media interactivity would seem to position the fan as the new ideal consumer; thus, I examine the extent to which fans are actually rendered ideal and in what ways in order to assess emerging norms of media reception in the Internet era. Drawing on a large archive consisting of websites for sports and speculative media companies; interviews with industry workers who produce content for fans; and film, television, web series, and news representations from 1994-2009 in a form of qualitative big data research—drawing broadly on large bodies of data but with attention to depth and texture—I look critically at how two media industries, speculative media and sports, have understood and constructed a normative idea of audiencing.

  • Between Ontologies and Folksonomies
    BOF Between Ontologies and Folksonomies Michigan State University-Mi, US June 28, 2007 Workshop held in conjunction with Preface Today on-line communities, as well as individuals, produce a substantial amount of unstructured (and extemporaneous) content, arising from tacit and explicit knowledge sharing. Various approaches, both in the managerial and computer science fields, are seek- ing ways to crystallize the - somewhat volatile, but often highly valuable - knowl- edge contained in communities "chatters". Among those approaches, the most relevants appear to be those aimed at developing and formalizing agreed-upon semantic representations of specific knowledge domains (i.e. domain ontologies). Nonetheless, the intrinsic limits of technologies underpinning such approaches tend to push communities members towards the spontaneous adoption of less cumbersome tools, usually offered in the framework of the Web 2.0 (e.g. folkso- nomies, XML-based tagging, etc.), for sharing and retrieving knowledge. Inside this landscape, community members should be able to access and browse community knowledge transparently and in a personalized way, through tools that should be at once device-independent and context- and user-dependent, in order to manage and classify content for heterogeneous interaction channels (wired/wireless network workstations, smart-phones, PDA, and pagers) and dispa- rate situations (while driving, in a meeting, on campus). The BOF- Between Ontologies and Folksonomies workshop, held in conjunction with the third Communities and Technologies conference in June 2007 1, aimed at the development of a common understanding of the frontier technologies for shar- ing knowledge in communities. We are proposing here a selection of conceptual considerations, technical issues and "real-life case studies" presented during the workshop.

Degree awarded December 2020 ii © 2020 Zachary Roman iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Zachary Roman Doctor of Philosophy School of Journalism and Communication December 2020 Title: Box Office Back Issues: Historicizing the Liminal Superhero Films, 1989–2008 Although the superhero film became a dominant force in Hollywood early in the 21st century, the formation of the superhero genre can be attributed to a relatively small temporal window beginning in 1989 and ending in 2008. This dissertation argues that a specific group of superhero films that I call the liminal superhero films (LSF) collectively served as the industrial body that organized and created a fully formed superhero genre. The LSF codified the superhero genre, but that was only possible due to several industrial elements at play before they arrived. An increasing industrial appetite for blockbusters coming out of the 1970s, the rise of proprietary intellectual property after the corporate conglomeration that occurred at the end of the 20th century, and finally, the ability of the LSF to mitigate risk (both real and perceived) all led to this cinematic confluence.
