Please write me a short massage if you will do it ;-) PatrickD ----------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers and Contributions KnowRight 2006 Knowledge Rights – Legal, Societal and Related Technological Aspects http://KnowRight06.ocg.at University of Vienna (Juridicum - Law Faculty Building) 16 - 17 February 2006 Organized by: Austrian Computer Society (OCG) jointly with IRIS (Internationales Rechtsinformatik Symposium) http://www.univie.ac.at/RI/IRIS2006/ CONFERENCE OUTLINE This conference will resume the general interest of the KnowRight Conferences, held since 1995, on the interaction of Intellectual Property Rights, related Information Rights, Ethical Problems, and Information Dependent Technology. It will be supported by the Austrian Computer Society and will be held in tandem with the IRIS conference (Internationales Rechtsinformatik Symposion). It will provide strong emphasis on the social environment in which the intellectual and information property system, information services, mobile applications, e-commerce and the electronic civil society evolve. The concept of an ”Information Society” or "Knowledge Society" is neither well defined nor are its foundations and implications well understood. Governments and authorities in many countries and regions (e.g. the EU) are still discussing options to establish and regulate at least special aspects of an Information Society. Increasingly it becomes harder to master future technologies with traditional laws based on national or regional methods and concepts. We have to develop new forms of international legal regimes and practices. They should empower coordinated means to avoid abuse of such new technologies.. Fairness should be preserved in the emerging non-local availability of up to now local resources. Open Source and Open Content are investigated as examples of dynamic innovations of legal concepts. The conference will discuss which requirements - such as safety and security of related methods and media - must be fulfilled and how these requirements may be enforced. Which regulations and preventive measures should be promoted in the light of conflicting interests. Regulating the flow of information must guarantee that clashes between individual rights (e.g. of intellectual/ industrial property, privacy and data protection) and collective demands (e.g. for security, universal access as well as preserving and expanding the heritage of mankind) are treated and resolved in human ways. Information in the public domain on the wired or unwired communication channels should deserve special attention. Commercial interests should be balanced with moral and civic obligations.

Reserach Portal for Meta
by Patrick Danowski 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Hello alltogehter, we all know we have a problem on meta. We have there a lot of information but it's hard to find tham, if you don't know exactly what you are looking for. Exspecialy in the research / new idea area it's hard to find the new things, new projects and so on. The question is how we can solve that. I think one possible answer is to build a Reserach Portal on Meta like theme portals in the wikipedia. What do you think? And the more importend question who will help with that? I'm not the best portal builder :-) Patrick (PatrickD)
