Ask Not for Whom the Spam Tolls
Ask Not for Whom the Spam Tolls
03/14/2003 01:08 PMArnold Kling wonders at Corante how The World of Ends idea applies to
spam: The World of Ends would seem to imply that the only weapon
against spam is end-user filtering. Any attempt to stop spam at the
network level would require opening up packets and looking at them,
which violates the world-of-ends principle Instead, he suggests: It is
almost impossible to enforce a law against sending spam. So we should
try to pass a law against responding to spam. What I propose is that
any American who makes a purchase based on unsolicited email be fined
$10,000 and jailed for 30 days. ...

For Whom the Gate Tolls?
06/24/2004 06:36 AMFor Whom the Gate Tolls? How and Why to Free the Refereed
Research Literature Online Through Author/Institution Self-Archiving,
Nowhttp://www
.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Tp/resolution.htmABSTRACT:All refereed journals will soon be
available online; most of them already are. This means that anyone
will be able to access them from any networked desk-top. The
literature will all be
interconnected by
citation, author, and keyword/subject links, allowing for
unheard-of power and ease of access and navigability. Successive
drafts of pre-refereeing preprints will be linked to the official
refereed draft, as well as to any subsequent corrections, revisions,
updates, comments, responses, and underlying empirical databases, all
enhancing the self-correctiveness, interactivity and productivity of
scholarly and scientific research and communication in remarkable new
ways.
New scientometric indicators of digital impact are also
emerging (
http://opcit.eprints.org) to
chart the online course of knowledge. But there is still one last
frontier to cross before science reaches the optimal and the
inevitable: Just as there is no longer any need for research or
researchers to be constrained by the access-blocking restrictions of
paper distribution, there is no longer any need to be constrained by
the impact-blocking
financial fire-walls of
Subscription/Site-License/Pay-Per-View (S/L/P) tolls for this
give-away literature. Its author/researchers have always donated their
research reports for free (and its referee/researchers have refereed
for free), with the sole goal of maximizing their impact on subsequent
research (by accessing the eyes and minds of fellow-researchers,
present and future) and hence on society.
Generic (OAi-compliant)
software is now available free so that
institutions
can immediately create Eprint Archives in which their authors can
self-archive all their refereed papers for free for all forever (
http://www.eprints.org/). These
interoperable Open Archives (
http://www.openarchives.org)
will then be harvested into global, jointly searchable "virtual
archives" (e.g.,
http://arc.cs.odu.edu/). "
Scholarly Skywriting" in this
PostGutenberg Galaxy will be dramatically (and measurably)
more
interactive and productive, spawning its own new digital
metrics of productivity and impact, allowing for an
online "embryology of knowledge." This will be added to

01/05/2005 03:28 AMIn the aftermath of the tsunamis that devastated Asia in late December
2004, observers pointed out that lack of official, credible
information gave victims and governments in the area little prior
warning of the impending disaster. Although still in the developmental
stages, a partnership of the Global Disaster Information Network
(GDIN) and the Organsation for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) is creating an information system that may significantly reduce
the impact of future natural and manmade disasters. Native American
Pueblo and Navajo Nations in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado
are providing pilot sites for the GDIN system. [PRWEB Jan 5, 2005]
