Podcasts about Open knowledge

Sanna Marttila is a designer and researcher working now in IT University of Copenhagen, in Denmark. We talk in this interview on cultural infrastructures, on her work in OpenGLAM and Open Knowledge and overall how digital infrastructures can support participation in different contexts: cultural heritage and also decision making in the cities.  This interview is part of the lists: D&D in English, Democracia y diseño, Infrastructures and Gobierno y diseño. The lists can be found in Spotify, in our website and in Youtube. This is the third  episode of a series on Infrastructures. This is a series of 4 interviews to people based or coming from: Ireland, Finland,  Denmark, and the United States. My main focus is in understanding the possible role of design in infrastructures. I started this enquiry interviewing designers involved in the development of services for other projects or based in other infrastructures. I wanted to ask them: what can we design in relation to the work of  infrastructures? This series is part of the work I do for an EU project: IRISCC. Integrated Research Infrastructure Services for Climate Change Risks. In this project we will develop services using a co-design framework.

In episode 4, host Brandon Heiner, senior vice president of government affairs at USTelecom, sits down with Jonathan Cannon, a policy counsel in technology and innovation at R Street Institute, and Dr. Fallon Wilson, vice president of policy at the Multicultural Media, Telecom and Internet Council (MMTC). The three talk about the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) and how affordable broadband impacts communities and residents across the country.    Show notes Jonathan Cannon is a policy counsel in Technology and Innovation. He researches and writes policy papers, op-eds and blog posts about a variety of telecommunications issues including spectrum, net neutrality and the digital divide. Jonathan also engages directly with leaders on key policy issue areas and interacts with a range of national and local media outlets to educate and provide context on the most impactful technology and innovation policy. Prior to R Street, Jonathan worked as an Attorney Advisor in the Office of Legislative Affairs at the Federal Communications Commission, he also served as the Acting Legal Advisor in the Office of FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington, and as an Attorney Advisor in the Wireline Competition Bureau, Pricing Policy Division.   Dr. Fallon Wilson, Vice President, Policy, leads MMTC's work on three focus areas in the tech, media, and telecommunications (TMT) sectors. The sectors include: Technology, Data Privacy, Artificial Intelligence, and Civil Rights in the Digital Age; Infrastructure, Broadband Connectivity, and Digital Inclusion; and Multicultural Media Ownership and Content Diversity. Prior to joining MMTC, Dr. Fallon Wilson co-founded #BlackTechFutures Research Institute and is the former Research Director of Black Tech Mecca. At Black Tech Mecca, Dr. Wilson created the Smart Black Tech Ecosystem Assessment to support local city leaders with building a thriving black tech ecosystem. Recently, she was awarded a Kauffman Foundation's 2020 Open Knowledge grant to launch #BlackTechFutures Research Institute. #BlackTechFutures Research Institute builds a national network of city-based researchers and practitioners conducting research on sustainable local black tech ecosystems.   Bytes & Bandwidth is produced by Association Briefings.

Jessica Wade is a physicist at Imperial College London who, while spending her day working on special carbon-based materials that can be used as semiconductors, has spent her nights writing nearly 2,000 Wikipedia entries about underrepresented figures in science. That, along with numerous other forms of public engagement—including writing a children's book about nanotechnology—is all in an effort to actually do something productive to correct gender and racial biases in STEM. She joined Tyler to discuss if there are any useful gender stereotypes in science, distinguishing between productive and unproductive ways to encourage women in science, whether science Twitter is biased toward men, how AI will affect gender participation gaps, how Wikipedia should be improved, how she judges the effectiveness of her Wikipedia articles, how she'd improve science funding, her work on chiral materials and its near-term applications, whether writing a kid's science book should be rewarded in academia, what she learned spending a year studying art in Florence, what she'll do next, and more.

Open Access is one of the pillars of Open Science. In this episode I am talking to Jean-Claude Guedon from the University of Montreal (Canada). Jean-Claude is one of the authors of the declaration of the Budapest Open Access Initiative from 2002. He is also an expert on scientific communication and its history. Who better to take us through the road that led to the Open Access declaration, what has become of it and where (we hope) it will go. Here a few links you might look up:https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org The site of the Budapest Open Access Initiative - which includes the declarationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Claude_Guédon Jean-Claude's bio on Wikipediahttps://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frma.2018.00008/full a history on the Garfield scientific indexinghttps://www.michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=1580 Michael Eisen another co-author of the Budapest declaration.

At the Barcamp Open Science 2021 Konrad had the chance to have a brief session wrap-up with Peter Kraker, who hosted a session together with Michaela Vignolio on Open Knowledge Maps Custom Services to discuss early ideas for the new customisable cloud services that were planned to be embedded in libraries' discovery services to add instant visual capabilities. By the way, at the time of publication of this interview, the custom services are available as a feature for members. AND: Open Knowledge Maps just hit the milestone of 1,000,000 Knowledge Maps! Congrats Peter and the team!

On this episode, we chat about the power and utility of Wikipedia for the accessibility of knowledge and data with data scientist and Wikimedian Lane Rasberry.

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   Russia's invasion of Ukraine has put the reality of war on display for the world, especially for Taiwan, which like Ukraine, has been under the constant threat of military aggression of an unfriendly neighbor. Because of the war that's been happening in Ukraine there's been talk of how Taiwan must improve its military defense capabilities and preparedness, but beyond this, there are people in Taiwan wondering what they themselves can do to be prepared, should Taiwan come under attack.   My guest on this episode of Talking Taiwan, T.H. Schee, a representative of Open Knowledge Taiwan, is one of those people asking these important questions.   We'd like to dedicate this episode to the memories of David Kilgour, who passed away on April fifth at the age of 81 and Peng Ming-min who passed away on April eighth at the age of 98. Mr. Kilgour, who I interviewed recently, was a human rights activist, and a former Member of Canada's Parliament, having served in the House of Commons for nearly 27 years, as Secretary of State for Latin America & Africa from 1997-2002, and Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific from 2002-2003.   Dr. Peng Ming-Min was a pro-Taiwan independence/pro-democracy activist. In 1964 he was arrested for sedition for drafting and printing a manifesto advocating for democracy in Taiwan, he served as president of the Formosan Association of Public Affairs from 1986 to 1988, and in 1996 he ran as a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate in Taiwan's first direct presidential election.   This episode of Talking Taiwan has been sponsored by the Taiwanese United Fund.   The Taiwanese United Fund is an arts and culture foundation that celebrates the cultural heritages of Taiwanese Americans. Established in 1986, the foundation's mission is to facilitate cultural exchange between the Taiwanese American community and other American cultural communities, hoping to enrich and expand our cultural experiences. To learn more about TUF visit their website  http://www.tufusa.org/    Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   How T.H. became interested and involved with civil defense The 9/21 earthquake in Nantou His work with Open Knowledge Taiwan What is civil defense Great Britain's Air Raid Wardens Service How T.H. has been dealing with disaster response for over ten years How Taiwan has to deal with disaster response year round due to typhoons and earthquakes What is digital first aid Taiwan's history of civil defense programs in Kimen and Matsu What is covered in Open Knowledge workshops The last time that preparedness for war was treated as a priority in Taiwan The 1995-1996 missile crisis in Taiwan aka the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis What Taiwan can learn from what's happening with the war in Ukraine The challenge of evacuating from Taiwan since it is an island How prepared Ukrainian civilians were for war How people can prepare for different levels of crisis: 1) emergency preparation (e.g. power outage/ blackout) 2) natural disaster 3) an attack/invasion/war The importance of establishing several reliable sources of information in case of a natural disaster The emerging discussion about how to handle an attack on Taiwan The importance of being able to identify friend from foe in case of a war in Taiwan The importance of first aid knowledge How civil defense in Taiwan is mandated by the national police agency/law enforcement in Taiwan An explanation of infographics from Open Knowledge that were recently shared on Twitter How general citizens could seek to improve their preparedness by enrolling in courses offered by hospitals Preparedness for military reservists The importance of having secure lines of communication in times of crisis Taiwan's Ministry of Defense has published a handbook that outlines the roles and responsibilities of the local and central government in times of crisis; the handbook is irrelevant for civilians H.'s thought on how the government of Taiwan can better prepare its citizens for war How the past civil defense programs in Kimen and Matsu prepared and trained civilians for war and what we can learn from them How the defense sector is a closed circle and Open Knowledge Taiwan is trying to address civilians' lack of access to defense related information Ukraine's Territorial Defense Forces How it's important for Taiwan to improve bi-lateral and tri-lateral exchanges of information Michael Turton's piece in the Taipei Times about Taiwan's preparedness for war How it's important to be able to resist the first 72 hours of an attack How critical points identified at Open Knowledge Taiwan workshops could be turned into policy recommendations for Taiwan's government   Related Links: To view all related links for this article, click link below: https://talkingtaiwan.com/taiwans-civil-defense-preparedness-t-h-schee-on-how-to-prepare-for-the-threat-of-an-attack-ep-178/

In the third episode, Holly is joined by Julie Baldwin, who is a research Librarian at the University of Nottingham. The discussion centres around external funding organisations & their open access policies, the transition to a more unified approach to these mandates, rights retention, & the ever shifting scholarly communications landscape.

Popes and their inquisitors, emperors and their hangmen, commissars and their secret police–throughout history, all have sought to stanch the free flow of information. Efforts have ranged from being burned for attempting to translate the Bible, to dictionaries and encyclopedias being forbidden, to works of literature and science and history being trashed and pulped, and beyond. With this long tradition that still persists to this day, how do we create a universe of truthful and verifiable information, available to everyone? This is a question that teacher and film producer Peter Kaufman has been grappling with. In his book The New Enlightenment and the Fight to Free Knowledge, he examined the history of attempts to stifle information, including what we see in present day. Although they can feel less outwardly insidious, Kaufman looked at what he considers the enemies of free thought in the 21st century, who have taken on new and different guises: giant corporate behemoths, sprawling national security agencies, gutted regulatory commissions. They work to surveil and control, and Kaufman argued they are no less nefarious than their predecessors. But far from leaving us in the gloomy realities, Kaufman invited us to consider the opportunities to mobilize, drafting a new social contract for our networked video age. Drawing upon the tactics of those fighting against earlier incarnations of knowledge restrictors, he presented a progressive agenda for how today’s free thinkers can band together now to fight and win. He asked us to consider: what does it mean to be a citizen in the 21st century? A writer, teacher, and documentary film producer, Peter Kaufman works at MIT Open Learning and MIT’s Knowledge Futures Group. He previously served as Associate Director of Columbia University’s Center for Teaching and Learning. He has served as president and executive producer of Intelligent Television, founder of the Audio-Visual Think Thank at Sound & Vision in the Netherlands, and in a number of other prestigious roles with organizations that center on media and broadcasting. He is the author of numerous articles on media and education. Dr. Cable Green is the Director of Open Education at Creative Commons, where he works with the global open education community to leverage open licensing, content, practices, and policies to significantly improve access to effective open education and research resources. He’s a leading advocate for open licensing and procurement policies that ensure publicly funded education materials are freely and openly available to the public that paid for them.

In der ersten Folge des Jahres 2020 wollen wir mit euch die Aufnahme teilen, die im Dezember 2019, während der Konferenz der Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit, Democracy Disrupted: Digitalization and Human Rights entstanden. Diese Interviews in dieser Folge finden in Englisch statt. Bereits letztes Jahr haben wir häufiger über die HongKong-Proteste und die Rolle, die Technologie bei den Protesten spielt, gesprochen. Zu dem Thema habe ich mit Johnson Ching-Yin Yeung gesprochen, einem Menschenrechtsaktivisten, Vorsitzenden des Hong Kong Civil Hub. In dem Interview (1:28-21:46) sprechen wir unter anderem über folgende Themen: - Wie wird die Überwachungstechnologie dazu verwendet um die Protestierenden zu identifizieren und zu sanktionieren, und mit welchen Maßnahmen währen sie sich gegen die Überwachung; - Welche Rolle spielt Open Source und Open Knowledge bei dem Informationsaustausch zwischen den Protestierenden; - Wie wird Desinformation verbreitet um die Protestierenden zu Diskreditieren. Im zweiten Interview (21:46-37:56), sprechen wir mit der venezolanischen Aktivistin Ana Corina Sosa Machado, unter anderem über folgende Themen: - Wie die Social Media und Messenger, angesichts der Desinformation in den durch den Staat kontrollierten traditionellen Medien, zu Hauptinformationsquelle werden; - Welche Rolle die Verschlüsselung der Kommunikationskanäle angesichts der Überwachung spielt; - Wie Technologie eingesetzt wird um die Wahlen zu manipulieren, und vieles mehr.

Catherine Stihler, CEO of Open Knowledge Foundation, talks about how she is working toward an "open world where all non-personal information is free for everyone to use, build on, and share." As a former member of European Parliament, she also details the role that governments can play. What would a "fair, free, and open future" look like? What effect is today's divisive political atmosphere having on this goal?

Getting Technical Again with Stacey Marien and Alayne Mundt In this episode we get to hear Katina Strauch’s weekly Rumors segment. Following Katina we hear three more articles from the series “Lets Get Technical” by ATG Column Editors Stacey Marien (Acquisitions Librarian, American University Library) and Alayne Mundt (Resource Description Librarian, American University Library) focusing on practical problems and solutions in Technical Services departments. Columns covered are: Let’s Get Technical - Moving Technical Services To An Offsite Space Let’s Get Technical - A Technical Services Perspective On Taking On A Shared Retention Project, Part One Let’s Get Technical - Piloting a DDA Program For Specific Subjects This week’s Katina’s Rumors: It was exciting to learn that the innovatively full of ideas, Alison Mudditt is leaving UCPress to take up the role of CEO of PLOS in San Francisco. Alison says this has not been an easy decision for her. She is still passionate about the critical mission and role of University of California Press (UC Press), now more than ever. For the past six years Mudditt served as Director where she ushered in new strategies to lead the company into the digital age, including the innovative journal and monograph Open Access programs Collabra and Luminos. The press has been through an incredible transformation over the past six years. The result is a Press that is smart, creative and entrepreneurial, ready for the continuous cycle of challenge and opportunity that is university press publishing. The transformation hasn’t been easy, and over recent months Alison has decided that it’s time for new and fresh leadership to guide UCPress through the next phase. Obviously, there is never a perfect time for this type of transition, but the UC Press is in a good position, All the hard work of the past years is bearing fruit since the Press is seeing growth in traditional book and journal programs as well as rapid growth in new digital ventures. Over the past six years: not only has revenue grow revenues with consistent surpluses to reinvest but also wide-scale impact, the most important measure for any non-profit. Not only does UC’s award-winning program continue to shine a light on critical issues that move toward better solutions, but we are now recognized as a leader and innovator in scholarly publishing. Alison is looking toward her own new beginning. The opportunity to lead the ground-breaking PLOS which has spearheaded a revolution in scientific communication was too tempting. Alison acknowledges that the OA market has evolved and matured. Her top priority will be charting what comes next for PLOS – how does it remain true to its mission and continue to push boundaries? Alison loves the public advocacy part of her work and is looking forward to expanding that at PLOS. No wonder PLOS is pleased to announce the appointment of Alison Mudditt as its Chief Executive Officer, effective June 19, 2017! Prior to UC Press, Mudditt was Executive Vice President at SAGE Publications, Inc., leading publishing programs across books, journals and digital platforms. Her 25 plus years in the publishing industry include leadership positions at Blackwell Publishers in Oxford, UK, and Taylor & Francis Inc., in Philadelphia, US. Mudditt received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Bath and her Masters in Business Administration from The Open University. Congratulations, Alison! Looking forward to the next phases! The Internet Archive was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 21st annual Webbys, hailed by the New York Times as “one of the Internet’s highest honors.” The Webby Awards lauded the Internet Archive for being “the web’s most knowledgeable historian.” Perhaps the greatest honor of the evening came in the form of a video narrated by Open Knowledge champion, Lawrence Lessig. He said, “Creativity and innovation built on the past. The Internet Archive is the foundation preserving that past, so that perhaps, one can at least hope that our children and their children can shape a future that knows our joys and learns from our many mistakes.” The award was presented by Nancy Lublin, CEO of the Crisis Text Line and DoSomething.org, who pointed out that in this chaotic political year, the Internet Archive has saved “200 terabytes of government data that could have otherwise been lost in the transition from blue light saber to red light saber.” The award reads: Lifetime Achievement: Archive.org for its commitment to making the world’s knowledge available online and preserving the history of the Internet itself. With a vast collection of digitized materials and tools like the Wayback Machine, Archive.org has become a vital resource not only to catalogue an ever-changing medium, but to safeguard a free and open Internet for everyone. And, listen up! Brewster Kahle, the founder and Digital Librarian of the Internet Archive will be our keynote speaker at the 2017 Charleston Conference and the Conference thanks the indefatigable Ann Okerson for arranging this! http://www.webbyawards.com/winners/2017/special-achievement/webby-lifetime-achievement/internet-archive/ http://blog.archive.org/2017/05/16/and-the-webby-award-for-lifetime-achievement-goes-to/ www.charlestonlibraryconference.com/ Got a nice note from the awesome David Worlock via Anthony Watkinson and Becky Lenzini about the publication of the latest volume of Liber Quarterly which marks the retirement of Pat Manson who has made a huge contribution to Library and Information work in Europe! Congratulations! https://www.liberquarterly.eu/586/volume/26/issue/4/ I understand that many of the Fiesole Retreat speakers have papers in the above-referenced issue of Liber Quarterly. I was so sorry to have to miss Fiesole in Lille which I heard from Leah Hinds and others was spectacular for content and tourism! There are several reports on Fiesole Lille in the June print issue of ATG which will be mailed shortly as well as posted on the ATGnewschannel. Leah’s report will be posted online shortly as well. Many of the papers from the Fiesole Retreat are loaded on the Casalini website. http://www.casalini.it/retreat/retreat_2017.html

We talked to Peter Kraker who just moderated a session at #oscibar about how Open Knowledge Maps, a project to visually discover research. Here's what his impressions were.

Kennen Sie diese kleinen, goldenen Gedenkplaketten auf dem Boden, die an verschiedenen Orten Bonns zu finden sind? Diese Stolpersteine sollen an die Deportationen der NS-Zeit erinnern. Josef Schugt hat sie nun digitalisiert, also Fotografien und kurze Beschreibungen auf einer Karte Bonns online verfügbar gemacht. Dieses Projekt ist Teil des OK Lab Bonn. OK steht für Open Knowledge – also offenes Wissen, offene Daten. Hier treffen sich regelmäßig engagierte und kreative Bonnerinnen und Bonner und setzen gemeinsam ungewöhnliche Projekte um. Patricia Guzman berichtet. Moderation: Denice Schaper.

Ausgehend von der Idee der Internetplattform piqd.de, für die sowohl Katrin als auch Barbara arbeiten, entspannt sich dieses Mal eine Meta-Diskussion über die Zukunft von Journalismus und Medien der Zukunft im Netz, freies Wissen, Open Knowledge und Science, Bezahlschranken und Nischen-Content. Wer sind wir, was konsumieren wir, wie bezahlen wir die Arbeit dahinter? Was macht die Jagd nach den Clicks mit den großen Flagschiffen der Medienlandschaft? Warum funktionieren Podcasts zum Glück oft noch ganz anders? Aber wer kann sich DAS wiederum schon leisten? Wie schafft die nächste Generation Journalistinnen und Journalisten den Absprung in eine Welt des freien Wissens und der Wissenallmende, ohne dabei zu verarmen? Ein Patentrezept haben wir auch nicht und wenn ihr euch fragt, wieso das auch für den Feminismus interessant ist - hört einfach mal rein. Viel Spaß!

Open Source, Creative Commons oder Wikipedia: Das Thema „Offenheit“ zieht sich durch alle Interessensgebiete von Leonhard Dobusch. Der Wirtschafts- und Rechtswissenschaftler ist seit Februar 2016 Professor für Betriebswirtschaftslehre mit Schwerpunkt Organisation an der Uni Innsbruck. In „Zeit für Wissenschaft“ erzählt er über die Chancen und Herausforderungen von Offenheit in einer digitalisierten Welt. „Open“ ist ein Schlagwort, das in den letzten Jahren in verschiedenste gesellschaftliche Bereiche vorgedrungen ist: Open Strategy, Open Knowledge, Open Access, Open Educational Resources oder Open Science. Dobusch analysiert, beobachtet und kommentiert diese Entwicklungen bereits seit mehreren Jahren. „Offenheit gibt Digitalisierung Richtung“, ist der Wissenschaftler überzeugt und empfindet die Bezeichnung „Neuland“ in vielen Bereichen als durchaus passend.

In honor of our base 10 number system, we revert to type and have recorded a long, self-indulgent episode. We reflect on our show, respond to feedback, and wonder about law and legal academia. Also Joe’s travels and nonsense. Feedback includes the other side of the expedite problem, a morality quiz for Joe, the proper playback speed for this show, political processes in arrest and indictment, professionalism norms and racism, SSRN’s purchase by Elsevier, more on the Bluebook and its connection with the problems of legal knowledge creation, and what our jobs are and whether we should keep doing this show.
