To Mireille, Tom, Louise and Jonathan Acknowledgments Building upon a book that was published by Philippe Aigrain earlier in French (Internet & Création: comment reconnaître les échanges sur internet en finançant la création, InLibroVeritas, October 2008), Sharing: Culture and the Economy in the Internet Age takes into account comments, criticism and suggestions for improve- ment received from many readers. The ideas developed in Sharing could not mature in isolation: they are rooted in collective environments. Invaluable inspiration and support were provided by Jérémie Zimmermann and all the participants in La Quadrature du Net, by Juan-Car- los de Martin and the members of the COMMUNIA Network on the Digital Public Domain, by researchers in the Berkman Center for Internet & Society and the NEXA Center for Internet & Society, members of the Forum d’Action Modernités, and participants in the Free Culture Forum and the Free Culture Research Confer- ences. Some of the findings presented in this book would have been impossible with- out the large-scale data collection and publication efforts conducted by research- ers such as Frédéric Aidouni, Mathieu Latapy and Clémence Magnien of the Com- plex Networks team of University Paris 6, and Bodó Balázs and Zoltán Lakatos of University of Budapest.

  • Exploring the Feasibility of Applying Data Mining for Library Reference Service Improvement a Case Study of Turku Main Library
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by National Library of Finland DSpace Services Ming Zhan ([email protected]) Exploring the Feasibility of Applying Data Mining for Library Reference Service Improvement A Case Study of Turku Main Library Master thesis in Information and Knowledge Management Master’s Programme Supervisors: Gunilla Widén Faculty of Social Sciences, Business and Economics Åbo Akademi University Åbo 2016 Abstract Data mining, as a heatedly discussed term, has been studied in various fields. Its possibilities in refining the decision-making process, realizing potential patterns and creating valuable knowledge have won attention of scholars and practitioners. However, there are less studies intending to combine data mining and libraries where data generation occurs all the time. Therefore, this thesis plans to fill such a gap. Meanwhile, potential opportunities created by data mining are explored to enhance one of the most important elements of libraries: reference service. In order to thoroughly demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of data mining, literature is reviewed to establish a critical understanding of data mining in libraries and attain the current status of library reference service. The result of the literature review indicates that free online data resources other than data generated on social media are rarely considered to be applied in current library data mining mandates. Therefore, the result of the literature review motivates the presented study to utilize online free resources. Furthermore, the natural match between data mining and libraries is established. The natural match is explained by emphasizing the data richness reality and considering data mining as one kind of knowledge, an easy choice for libraries, and a wise method to overcome reference service challenges.

  • IPRED Versus the Sharing of Culture: Moving Away from Enforcement
    March 2011 IPRED Versus The Sharing of Culture: Moving Away From Enforcement Response to the European Commission's consultation on the “Intellectual Property Rights” Enforcement Directive (IPRED). La Quadrature du Net | 1 Executive summary: EU's Internet policy at crossroads More than 10 years after adopting a framework for the development of information society services and the promotion of freedom of expression online, the European Union faces a crucial choice: It can either pursue the promotion of democratic goals and innovation in the digital environment, or remain blind to social and technical realities by enforcing a copyright regime that is at its very core unadapted to the Internet. Sadly, the European Commission's documents regarding the revision of the “Intellectual Property Rights” Enforcement Directive (IPRED) suggests that forces of the status quo could prevail. In the age of the Internet, where any citizen can have access to a global communications infrastructure to access and disseminate culture and knowledge, our legal system must give up on the idea that each instance of transmission of artistic works must be submitted to prior authorization, especially in cases of non-profit transmission. The debate needs to move away from enforcement and focus on financing schemes and business-models that can accommodate widespread social practices, such as non- commercial file-sharing of cultural works, while providing appropriate resources for creative activities. However, the Internal Market Directorate General of the EU Commission, which is supervising the revision of IPRED, appears too much in line with the copyright industry to break away from outdated policies. Even though it has undertaken laudable efforts to create a more integrated single digital market, its determination to repress non-commercial sharing of cultural goods over the Internet is endangering the technical and legal architecture on which are based the democratic and economic potential of the Internet.

    2020 SIGACT REPORT SIGACT EC – Eric Allender, Shuchi Chawla, Nicole Immorlica, Samir Khuller (chair), Bobby Kleinberg September 14th, 2020 SIGACT Mission Statement: The primary mission of ACM SIGACT (Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory) is to foster and promote the discovery and dissemination of high quality research in the domain of theoretical computer science. The field of theoretical computer science is the rigorous study of all computational phenomena - natural, artificial or man-made. This includes the diverse areas of algorithms, data structures, complexity theory, distributed computation, parallel computation, VLSI, machine learning, computational biology, computational geometry, information theory, cryptography, quantum computation, computational number theory and algebra, program semantics and verification, automata theory, and the study of randomness. Work in this field is often distinguished by its emphasis on mathematical technique and rigor. 1. Awards ▪ 2020 Gödel Prize: This was awarded to Robin A. Moser and Gábor Tardos for their paper “A constructive proof of the general Lovász Local Lemma”, Journal of the ACM, Vol 57 (2), 2010. The Lovász Local Lemma (LLL) is a fundamental tool of the probabilistic method. It enables one to show the existence of certain objects even though they occur with exponentially small probability. The original proof was not algorithmic, and subsequent algorithmic versions had significant losses in parameters. This paper provides a simple, powerful algorithmic paradigm that converts almost all known applications of the LLL into randomized algorithms matching the bounds of the existence proof. The paper further gives a derandomized algorithm, a parallel algorithm, and an extension to the “lopsided” LLL.

Revised versions of this report and updates of individual countries can be found at www.crowdfundingineurope.eu. Current State of Crowdfunding in Europe 2016 Foreword We started this research to get a structured view on the state of crowdfunding in Europe. With the support of more than 30 experts in Europe we collected information about the industry in 27 countries. One of the conclusions is that there is a wide variety of alternative finance instruments that is being offered through online platforms and also that the maturity of the alternative finance industry in a country can not just be measured by the volume of transactions on these platforms. During the process of the research therefore, the idea took root to develop an Alternative Finance Maturity Index. The index takes into account the volumes in the industry, the access to relevant and reliable data, the degree of organization of the industry, the presence and use of all the different forms of alternative finance and also the way governments are regulating the industry with rules that on one hand foster alternative finance but on the other hand also protect consumers and prevent excesses.

  • Digital Library Models and Prospects
    Paper submission for ASIS Mid-Year 1996 meeting: Digital Library Models and Prospects by Gregory B. Newby Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 501 E. Daniel Street; Champaign; IL; 61820 Email: [email protected] / Telephone 217-244-7365 ABSTRACT Digital libraries are the means by which people of the next millennium will access materials found in current libraries, yet the nature of digital libraries is only now being shaped. Different visions of digital libraries include the digital library for electronic access to materials previously found in print form, access to data stores, and access to scholarly (self-published) materials. In order to bring about significant progress towards the realization of full-scale digital libraries, existing publishers must participate. Yet economic impediments to full participation of publishers exist, including fears of unauthorized duplication, distribution, or modification. Uncertainty about whether digital access to published materials may yield acceptable fees or royalties may be addressed through adoption of “pay as you go” or “buy once, use many” models, yet significant infrastructure development is needed to make these models feasible. The proliferation of scholarly reprint archives, moderated discussion groups, and electronic conferences and proceedings is helping to address some of the publisher concerns, as are developments in network access, browser standards, bibliographic standards, data security, and encryption. THE DIGITAL LIBRARY Conferences, journals, books, and projects have emerged in 1995 and 1996 on a topic which has been of only limited interest previously: digital libraries. The basic concept of the digital library may be traced back at least to such visionaries as Bush (1945), Licklider (1965) and Lancaster (1969).
