question comes from a research trail into what
the 'InterPARES Trust' is, and turns out that's a research
collective all about
policies
and infrastructural issues surrounding digital data and
records - obvs my interest led me to societal and
philosophical issues that arise from all this preoccupation
with online data.
"authenticity, reliability, and accuracy of data; integrity metadata; chain of custody; retention and disposition; transfer and acquisition; intellectual control, and access controls --- - -- ---- --- - - - - "
but what about actual life, offa the compy? I mean, it's to do with how data is manipulated, held, searched, used and then potentially impacts on our freedom to do, say, think and behave how we want and where. What data goes into our heads, where, how, and what data comes our of our minds, is stored where, and how.
these words:
"security methods (encryption, sharding, obfuscation, geographic location); data breaches; cybercrime; risks associated with shared servers; information assurance; governance; audits and auditability; forensic readiness; risk assessment; and backup."
all a bit much for me, and kind of dull - like, someone else with sound and stable libertarian or anti-capitalist (fingers crossed, probs too much to ask) politic will sort all that stuff out.
Access, i'm into access - I mean, if you live in a compy soc, or have a smartphone, you could really be missing out on loads of useful stuff, OR, you could be overwhelmed in a way that cripples you.
"The access domain researches open access/open data; the right to know/duty to remember/right to be forgotten; privacy; accountability; and transparency."
surely it's a bit much to ask for. duty to remember, right to be forgotten....shit, it's like seasickness. And what is grey literature?...looked it up, it's probably boring. But it is a kind of metaphor for the information age, the singularity, it's all moving just a bit too fast for those beautiful slow fossils in the dusty libraries.
"Blockchain technology can also empower people to make end runs around oppressive governments. As Swan notes, blockchain technology facilitates pseudonymous transactions outside the visibility, tracking, and regulatory purview of states. Anti-censorship applications are being developed. The Alexandria DAPP, for example, "preserves the integrity of the historical record. It taps into collective, on-the-ground reporting by scraping Twitter as events unfold and prevents after the fact censorship by archiving the information on a blockchain." Namecoin is an alternative domain name system registration process that cannot be controlled by any government."
