data doesn't talk. => information => narratives

troppone commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

aharju  

this Qaiku is also one of the narratives of Jarno's life

great to hear about narratives and silent data until it is narrated

Who's controlling this discussion here? (not me)

juhak commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

aharju  

How do we perceive Jarno while he's presenting and who controls this information? What digitalization changes?

aharju commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

Reinikainen  

@juhak Isn't it an open discussion?

Who's controlling the digital data? (thinking about that kaljakellunta question).

some concepts i find interesting related to this presentation: Vendor Relationship Management and Information asymmetry

pe3 commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

ikajaste  

"Who controls our personal information?" There are many different layers of control here - control as in being able to manipulate it, control as in being able to control who can access it, control as in even being aware of it...

@Reinikainen: No. There's

  • social norms of discussion
  • Qaiku platform administration
  • started of this tread
  • etc

@hongisto information science uses a different, but similar definition of data->information->knowledge chain.

Personal data is a scarce resource, a valuable commodity that needs to be protected

great initiative @viilee

very interesting stuff! What is the background of the lecturer ?

hyvaelama commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

juhak  

@reinikainen I think the question is does Qaiku own this information (legally)?

juhak commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

aharju  

We cannot control the personal data in service systems.

@juhak uh oh, I'm getting nervous now...

Reinikainen commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

juhak  

@viilee That doesn't solve the problem. You basically would only have a copy of the data yourself, the data would not "swap" owners.

juhak commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

aharju  

once digitized, pesonal information can be modified, copied and distributed to the infinitum

aharju commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

matnel  

@juhak: but data portability allows us to change services. Compare e.g. to the portability of phone numbers

@mace this is the challenge of multidisciplinarity - how is meaning attributed (created) at every transition point in the chain from an information science point of view

aharju  

So, personal data protection vs. openness??

Have you seen Google Dashboard?

Right now, our "personal" information seems to be distributed to different companies, like Qaiku's owner in this case, or Facebook, or MySpace, or IRC-galleria, and so on. I hope we will get to the point where the services like Facebook are only ways to access and manipulate the information itself, which remains in control of the owner. A unified (distributed) platform for storing personal data that different services can use to access and manipulate information concerning that user. Qaiku would be storing my comments on my server, and accessing them when needed... but of course, the problem is a lot more complex.

A person has a right to see what a database knows about him/her, but this only works within a national legistlation. You can go to Kela or Sonera and get to see your data, but good luck with Facebook.

juhak  

@viilee though i'd love to collect all my data from social sites to one place, for my use. and now that i'm asking, give me also all the data collected through the government, retail etc.

Streams of data, that I manage.

There's also an annual day for this in Finland, i think it's called Tietokannat auki or something.

I always took the right to privacy (on many levels) for granted...but is it actually a right?!

@troppone Maybe ppl interested in this want to check the book Paratiisi vai panoptikon (toim. Päivikki Karhula). Available on the net for free.

troppone  

Hmm, ultimate data control would mean that you also have access to narratives about you, right? Not just the data. What would this mean?!

troppone commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

aharju  

This was a good critical insight to openness, me like. :)

aharju commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

ikajaste  

Of course, as a participant in other converstaions, I still need a way to control the data, narratives, that I have participated in. If someone allows me to participate, they are by implication giving me the part of the control, because everything in that participation also becomes my personal data. Both this Qaiku conversation and Jarno's presentation are now my personal data, irrelevat to who actually sent the messages! :)

ikajaste commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

troppone  

@aharju Yes, most of these issues have been brought up...so what kind of solutions!? Did I miss something?

need to use open standads so t don't get "trapped" in a single service/site

SPAM event around this tomorrow OpenWebHelsinki

troppone  

@ikajaste Jarno's presentation being your personal data. I like your thinking.

troppone commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

aharju  

@troppone Is it a wicked problem, maybe? ;)

aharju commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

juhak  

@ikajaste On what level is it your data? You can copy it, remix it, but not claim it as your own. At least legally (and I would say normatively).

juhak commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

ikajaste  

@troppone: Very good point - privacy is a lot more complex ethical issue than it's often presented as. You might have an inherent right to privacy about your medical condition, but I also have a right to analyze whatever information I recieve about you, if you sneeze, I have an inherent right to know and distribute that information. And when that sneezing, with the help of technology, becomes medical analysis of your possible contagious diseases, based on the sneeze-drops that landed on me, this becomes pretty problematic...

ikajaste commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

mace  

@ikajaste i know some of ppl print out all their email, also the ones they compose themselves, to have a convenient(?) copy for themselves. In the digital world i can (at this time, we'll see about the future) make copies for myself. But this only solves the problem with material by me, not all information about me.

mace commented on posted to #OPEN2009 Helsinki 06.11.2009 (en)

troppone  

oh @aharju, certainly is :)

@juhak & @viilee: I interpreted that @ikajaste meant that it's somehow attached to you and so is the thread of course; the "context" is your data

troppone commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

troppone  

@ikajaste, I do think that a lot (even most) people understand that privacy is a really complex issue, but it's SO hard to solve, sometimes feels even not worth trying ;)

troppone commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

ikajaste  

@juhak: Well, I sort of can't claim it as my own... But then again, I don't actually have Jarno's presentaition, I have my interpretation of what his presentation was about, which again is my own making. If I present the "same" stuff to someone else, they are already my thoughts, no matter that Jarno first told them to me.

At what point does his presentation become abstract information that I can claim as "my own"? What about information, a new presentation maybe, that I procude from the convergence of multiple previous presentations that I saw? It's a really problematic thing. :) I think the problem is within our concept of "owning" information, even in the sense of "attirbution". But then again, often the source is a very useful thing for the receiver to know...

ikajaste commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

troppone  

@viilee Qaiku owns this thread?! Maybe the digital artefact, but certainly not the symbolic representations etc.

troppone commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

ikajaste  

@viilee: In a sense - and not as some theoretical concept, but in a very real sense - I do own every piece of information that has been transferred to me somehow, whether Jarno's presentation, or your user image. I think that to say otherwise, is misunderstanding the concept of information.

privacy right mitigation appears like one of the most actual [west] corp/legislative mistakes. This could be the matter..

DanieleBeta commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

troppone  

I believe @ikajaste means that bits, data or media can be owned, information can't

troppone commented on posted to #OPEN2009 06.11.2009 (en)

ikajaste  

@viilee: I'm not sure I understand your distinction of having or owning. I don't see how those concepts map to information.

@juhak, @viilee: I own this conversation and Jarno's presentation in the sense that I can replicate it, re-present it to other people, alter it, interpret it and use it as basis of my thoughts or even as bases for artefacts of my thoughts, for example an art project, or whatever.

In what sense do I not own it? I don't have the legal (or even moral?) right to re-present it in public or claim it as my own, in it's exact original form but I think that's a rather limited case of owning.

I am honestly interested in undestanding where the difference is in our thoughts about this matter. I want to understand your point.
