Based on a faceted classification model suggested for Web resources (Zins, 2002), the current study analyzed popular Web directories from different Asian countries/areas and examined cultural differences reflected in their classification systems. Three popular Web directories from four countries/regions (China, Hong Kong, Korea, and Thailand) were selected and their classifications were analyzed and compared: a local Yahoo and two home-grown Web directories from each country/region. Based on the findings, the study suggests a model that might be more suitable to Asian culture. INTRODUCTION Information available through the Web is becoming more diverse and its amount is also growing rapidly. As of January 2005, it is estimated that the indexable Web has reached to at least 11.5 billion pages (Gulli & Signorini, 2005). Presently, these voluminous and ever changing resources on the Web are often organized in mostly hierarchical classification systems. However, such hierarchical systems might not be as suitable for organizing cross-cultural resources for a culturally and linguistically diverse groups, as there might be cultural differences in categorization (Segall, 1990; Malt, 1995).

Abstract: A survey on collaborative aspects of web search is presented in this paper. Current state in full-text web search engines with regards on users collaboration is given. The position of the paper is that it is becoming increasingly important to learn from other users searches in a collaborative way in order to provide more relevant results and increase benefit from web search sessions. Recommender systems represent a rich source of concepts that could be employed to enable collaboration in web search. A discussion of techniques used in recommender systems is followed by a suggestion of integration web search with recommender sys- tems.

  • Portal Is Most Often One Specially-Designed Web Page at a Website Which Brings Information Together from Diverse Sources in a Uniform Way
    A web portal is most often one specially-designed Web page at a website which brings information together from diverse sources in a uniform way. Usually, each information source gets its dedicated area on the page for displaying information (a portlet); often, the user can configure which ones to display. Variants of portals include Mashup (web application hybrid) and intranet"dashboards" for executives and managers. The extent to which content is displayed in a "uniform way" may be more or less depending on the intended user and the intended purpose as well as the diversity of the content. Very often design emphasis is on a certain "metaphor" for configuring and customizing the presentation of the content and the chosen implementation framework and/or code libraries. In addition, the role of the user in an organization may determine which content can be added to the portal or deleted from the portal configuration. A portal may use a search engine API to permit users to search intranet content as opposed to extranet content by restricting which domains may be searched. Apart from this common search engines feature, web portals may offer other services such as e-mail, news, stock quotes, information from databases and even entertainment content. Portals provide a way for enterprises and organizations to provide a consistent look and feel with access control and procedures for multiple applications and databases, which otherwise would have been different web entities at various URLs. The features available may be restricted by whether access is by an authorized and authenticated user (employee,member) or an anonymous site visitor.

  • 55Th APPA Forum — Communiqué
    55th APPA Forum — Communiqué The Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) of the Republic of Korea hosted the 55th Asia Pacific Privacy Authorities (APPA) Forum on 16 to 18 June 2021. A wide range of issues were discussed at the Forum in response to a rapidly changing landscape where both data protection and safe use of data have become increasingly important in the digital economy, especially in the post Covid-19 recovery. The key themes discussed at the Forum are as follows: • The new normal post Covid-19. Although effective responses to the pandemic require the use of sensitive data of individuals such as health data, appropriate safeguards must be put in place to protect personal data, including by adhering to key data protection principles such as data minimisation, use limitation, data security and transparency. Public authorities processing vaccine passports and vaccine certificates that include individuals’ health data must also follow such principles. Discussion should also continue to prepare for the new normal post Covid-19. Page 1 of 12 • Use of emerging technologies and engagement with industry. APPA members shared the view that engagement with industry is essential to ensuring the protection of personal data in a rapid transition to digital economy that comes along with the increased use of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital identity and biometrics. Joint efforts will also continue across the Asia Pacific Region to ensure that the use of new technologies is in compliance with key data protection principles and to engage with controllers to encourage them to adapt to a changing regulatory landscape by supporting policy making and issuing guidelines.

  • The Relationship Between Local Content, Internet Development and Access Prices
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL CONTENT, INTERNET DEVELOPMENT AND ACCESS PRICES This research is the result of collaboration in 2011 between the Internet Society (ISOC), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The first findings of the research were presented at the sixth annual meeting of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) that was held in Nairobi, Kenya on 27-30 September 2011. The views expressed in this presentation are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of ISOC, the OECD or UNESCO, or their respective membership. FOREWORD This report was prepared by a team from the OECD's Information Economy Unit of the Information, Communications and Consumer Policy Division within the Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry. The contributing authors were Chris Bruegge, Kayoko Ido, Taylor Reynolds, Cristina Serra- Vallejo, Piotr Stryszowski and Rudolf Van Der Berg. The case studies were drafted by Laura Recuero Virto of the OECD Development Centre with editing by Elizabeth Nash and Vanda Legrandgerard. The work benefitted from significant guidance and constructive comments from ISOC and UNESCO. The authors would particularly like to thank Dawit Bekele, Constance Bommelaer, Bill Graham and Michuki Mwangi from ISOC and Jānis Kārkliņš, Boyan Radoykov and Irmgarda Kasinskaite-Buddeberg from UNESCO for their work and guidance on the project. The report relies heavily on data for many of its conclusions and the authors would like to thank Alex Kozak, Betsy Masiello and Derek Slater from Google, Geoff Huston from APNIC, Telegeography (Primetrica, Inc) and Karine Perset from the OECD for data that was used in the report.
