    Link ? Rot: URI Citation Durability in 10 Years of Ausweb Proceedings

    Link? Rot. URI Citation Durability in 10 Years of AusWeb Proceedings. Link? Rot. URI Citation Durability in 10 Years of AusWeb Proceedings. Baden Hughes [HREF1], Research Fellow, Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering [HREF2] , The University of Melbourne [HREF3], Victoria, 3010, Australia. [email protected] Abstract The AusWeb conference has played a significant role in promoting and advancing research in web technologies in Australia over the last decade. Papers contributed to AusWeb are highly connected to the web in general, to digital libraries and to other conference sites in particular, owing to the publication of proceedings in HTML and full support for hyperlink based referencing. Authors have exploited this medium progressively more effectively, with the vast majority of references for AusWeb papers now being URIs as opposed to more traditional citation forms. The objective of this paper is to examine the reliability of URI citations in 10 years worth of AusWeb proceedings, particularly to determine the durability of such references, and to classify their causes of unavailability. Introduction The AusWeb conference has played a significant role in promoting and advancing research in web technologies in Australia over the last decade. In addition, the AusWeb forum serves as a point of reflection for practitioners engaged in web infrastructure, content and policy development; allowing the distillation of best practice in the management of web services particularly in higher educational institutions in the Australasian region. Papers contributed to AusWeb are highly connected to the web in general, to digital libraries and to other conference sites in particular, owing to the publication of proceedings in HTML and full support for hyperlink based referencing.
  • Technopopulism: the Emergence of a Discursive Formation

    Technopopulism: the Emergence of a Discursive Formation

    tripleC 15(2): 441-458, 2017 http://www.triple-c.at Technopopulism: The Emergence of a Discursive Formation Marco Deseriis Northeastern University, Boston, USA, [email protected], http://neu.academia.edu/MarcoDeseriis Abstract: This article contends that technopopulism is a discursive formation that emerges from the convergence of two preexisting discourses: populism and technolibertarianism. Whereas these discourses are historically distinct the 2008 financial crisis and the 2011 wave of struggles precipitated the political conditions for their intersection. Such convergence produces both tensions and possibilities. On the one hand, technopopulism engenders a radically participatory model of democracy, which is ultimately anti-institutional as citizens cooperate and engage in sophisticated decision-making without the mediation of professional politicians. On the other hand, the more electorally successful technopopulist parties are led by charismatic leaders who synthesize the positions that emerge from the netroots to mobi- lize them against the establishment. These two seemingly contradictory aspects precipitate in two variants of technopopulism: a leaderless-technocratic variant, which is derived from the open source mode of governance and from early experiments of the Global Justice Movement in networked self-government; and a leaderist-populist variant, which is more strictly focused on the electoral competition as an intrinsically hegemonic practice. The article concludes with a reflection on the discursive complementarity of these two variants. Keywords: technopopulism, technolibertarianism, populism, electronic democracy, social media activism, Global Justice Movement, Free and Open Source Software, Podemos, Five Star Movement, Occupy Technopopulism is the belief that the “government of the people, by the people, for the people” (Lincoln 1953 [1863]) is achievable by means of information communica- tions technology.

Tyler and Beth McNeil abstract: The longevity of printed guides to resources on the web is a topic of some concern to all librarians. This paper attempts to determine whether guides created by specialist librarians perform better than randomly assembled lists of resources (assembled solely for the purpose of web studies), commercially created guides (‘Best of the web’-type publications), and guides prepared by specialists in library science and other fields. The paper also attempts to determine whether the characteristics of included web resources have an impact on guides’ longevity. Lastly, the paper addresses methodological issues of concern to this and similar studies.
  • Introduction

    Introduction

    GRANICK 5/2/2007 6:29:34 PM INTRODUCTION * JENNIFER GRANICK This issue of the Stanford Law and Policy Review contains five insightful articles about proposed government regulation of different new technologies. Individually, each article describes how regulation of a particular new development, whether digital or medical, comports with the values and desires of the public and proposes a way that individual interests could be better enshrined in public policy. As a set, the five articles reveal an underlying consensus: what the public wants is what the public should have, with only narrow exceptions in the case of medical safety and the rare market failure. The market is the morality. In the opening article of this issue, Congressman Rick Boucher details an onslaught of legislative proposals from a media industry intent on strengthening its bargaining position vis-à-vis consumer electronics manufacturers.1 In short, Big Content wants to control the features Big Devices build into their products, and customer fair use rights are collateral damage. As a thirteen term U.S. Representative for Southern Virginia and member of the House Judiciary Committee’s Internet and Intellectual Property Subcommittee, Boucher has a front row seat for this battle of the titans. Luckily for consumers, the consumer electronics trade groups are a powerful opposition to the copyright industries, and the manufacturers want to give culture lovers gadgets with all the bells and whistles. This power player is standing up for customer freedom, for fair use, and for a certain kind of innovation, though they do so out of self-interest, rather than out of a sense of the inherent public value in fair use and freedom to create.

    Bowling Alone, but Online Together? Virtual Communities and American Public Life

    Bowling Alone, But Online Together? Virtual Communities and American Public Life Felicia Wu Song Charlottesville, Virginia B.A., Yale University, 1994 M.A., Northwestern University, 1996 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Virginia May, 2005 Bowling Alone, but Online Together? Virtual Communities and American Public Life Felicia Wu Song James Davison Hunter, Chair Department of Sociology University of Virginia ABSTRACT The integration of new communication technologies into the fabric of everyday life has raised important questions about their effects on existing conceptions and practices of community, relationship, and personal identity. How do these technologies mediate and reframe our experience of social interactions and solidarity? What are the cultural and social implications of the structural changes that they introduce? This dissertation critically considers these questions by examining the social and technological phenomenon of online communities and their role in the ongoing debates about the fate of American civil society. In light of growing concerns over declining levels of trust and civic participation expressed by scholars such as Robert Putnam, many point to online communities as possible catalysts for revitalizing communal life and American civic culture. To many, online communities appear to render obsolete not only the barriers of space and time, but also problems of exclusivity and prejudice. Yet others remain skeptical of the Internet's capacity to produce the types of communities necessary for building social capital. After reviewing and critiquing the dominant perspectives on evaluating the democratic efficacy of online communities, this dissertation suggests an alternative approach that draws from the conceptual distinctions made by Mark E.

Austin Collins: Stakes Is High: On Spike Lee’s Chi-Raq J.D. Connor: Making Things Right: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens Derek Nystrom: Of Christians and Communists: Joel and Ethan Coen’s Hail, Caesar! — INTRODUCTION — Hollywood’s Self-Critique: Five Essays on Race and Class at the Movies Chris Rock’s monologue at this year’s Academy Awards — in which he called Hollywood “sorority racist” and the event itself the “White People’s Choice Awards” — was deceptively consistent with the industry’s own self-critique featured in many of this year’s top-grossing and critically acclaimed films. Hollywood, it seems, has learned to parry generic attacks on the industry’s sexism, racism, and classism with genre films that keep the system well oiled and, perhaps, the critics at bay. The five essays featured in this collection concern films that seek absolution for the industry’s consistently unsavory politics by addressing Hollywood’s politically incorrect history in their stories or backstories. Indeed, these are mostly historical films that depict racial protest and class warfare from the perspective of an industry that continually finds itself on the wrong side of American history when it comes to issues of race and class. Jerome Christensen writes about Trumbo, a biopic about Hollywood’s most successful blacklisted screenwriter, and a film whose producers nonetheless obfuscate its own shady production history.

Legacy publishers, as well as digital-native outlets and aggrega- tors, are beginning to adapt to this new news landscape, in part by drawing newfound value from archival stories and reusing older works. However, this trend's potential remains limited by technical challenges and institutional inertia.

    World Wide Web - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=World_Wide_Web&printabl... World Wide Web From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The World Wide Web , abbreviated as WWW and commonly known as The Web , is a system of interlinked hypertext documents contained on the Internet. With a web browser, one can view web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia and navigate between them by using hyperlinks. Using concepts from earlier hypertext systems, British engineer and computer scientist Sir Tim Berners Lee, now the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, wrote a proposal in March 1989 for what would eventually become the World Wide Web. [1] He was later joined by Belgian computer scientist Robert Cailliau while both were working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1990, they proposed using "HyperText [...] to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the user can browse at will",[2] and released that web in December. [3] "The World-Wide Web (W3) was developed to be a pool of human knowledge, which would allow collaborators in remote sites to share their ideas and all aspects of a common project." [4] If two projects are independently created, rather than have a central figure make the changes, the two bodies of information could form into one cohesive piece of work.

    “It Doesn't Have to Be This Way”: Hacker Perspectives on Privacy

    Hacker Perspectives on Privacy 29 “It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way”: Hacker Perspectives on Privacy Kevin Steinmetz & Jurg Gerber* We face a lot of troubling times ahead with regards to surveillance. Most of the power, for the moment at least, remains in our hands and in our minds, should we choose to use them. It is our acceptance of the elements of a surveillance state which will give it the most strength and solidify its presence for future generations. It doesn’t have to be this way. —Emmanuel Goldstein, “The Whole World’s Watching” (2008, 5) F A PERSON WERE TO ONLY CONSULT NEWS MEDIA, HE OR SHE WOULD GAIN THE impression that the world is constantly under threat of computer hackers eroding our technological infrastructure, national security, and—perhaps most Iimmediately frightening to many—our personal privacy. Much attention has been directed toward hackers recently, in light of the numerous controversies surrounding the escapades of hacker groups like Anonymous and the disbanded Lulz Security/ LulzSec (Olson 2012); concerns over consumer financial security, as demonstrated in the occasion of the recent breach of credit card data at Target (Newman 2013); and a plethora of other hacking occurrences.1 Perhaps now more than ever, hackers are perceived as a tremendous threat, particularly to personal privacy. Scholars have spent a great deal of time examining public perceptions to- wards hackers (Halbert 1997; Holt 2009; Skibell 2002; Thomas 2005). Hacking, however, is often shrouded in a veil of social construction, perhaps as a result of the fact that the public has “little direct contact with computer hackers,” which makes their image “particularly susceptible to shifts in public perception” (Skibel 2002, 343; Hollinger 1991; Taylor 1999).

I analyse literature which reveals how researchers are making use of Web technologies for knowledge dissemination, as well as how individuals are disempowered by the centralisation of certain systems, such as academic publishing platforms and social media. I share my findings on the feasibility of a decentralised and interoperable information space where researchers can control their identifiers whilst fulfilling the core functions of scientific communication: registration, awareness, certification, and archiving. The contemporary research communication paradigm operates under a diverse set of sociotechnical constraints, which influence how units of research information and personal data are created and exchanged. Economic forces and non-interoperable system designs mean that researcher identifiers and research contributions are largely shaped and controlled by third-party entities; participation requires the use of proprietary systems. From a technical standpoint, this thesis takes a deep look at semantic structure of research artifacts, and how they can be stored, linked and shared in a way that is controlled by individual researchers, or delegated to trusted parties. Further, I find that the ecosystem was lacking a technical Web standard able to fulfill the awareness function of research communication.
