Politicians’ data policy plans scrutinised
IWR News Desk, Information World Review, Friday 23 April 2010 at 11:42:00

In the run up to the general election in two weeks’ time, UK’s main politicalparties including the Labour party, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democratsput forward their individual data protection policies which have privacy andfreedom at the heart of it

This information is made available by Amberhawk Training on its blogHawktalk.

According to its blog, the Liberal Democrats promise an introduction of aFreedom Bill and to scrap the “intrusive Identity Cards” scheme and “expensive,unnecessary new passports with additional biometric data”. They instead promisemore police and plan to end the storing of store people’s email and internetrecords without good cause.

On the contrary, the Labour party said that the biometric ID scheme, coveringforeign nationals will be offered to an increasing number of British citizens,but will not be compulsory for them. It will help fight the growing threat ofidentity theft and fraud, as well as crime, illegal immigration and terrorism.In the next Parliament ID cards and the ID scheme will be self-financing. Theprice of the passport and ID cards together with savings from reduced fraudacross the public services will fully cover the costs of the scheme.

It also said that it will continue to make full use of CCTV and DNAtechnology. “We are proud of our record on civil liberties and have taken theDNA profiles of children off the database and tightened the rules around the useof surveillance – but we are also determined to keep our streets safe.”

According to the ruling party, advances in DNA technology have been criticalin solving serious crimes. Labour plans to ensure that the most seriousoffenders are added to the database no matter where or when they were convicted– and retain for six years the DNA profiles of those arrested but not convicted.

Meanwhile, the Conservative party said: “We will scale back Labour’s databasestate and protect the privacy of the public’s information. We will introduce abalanced approach to the retention of people’s DNA and reform the criminalrecords system so it protects children without destroying trust.

“Wherever possible, we believe that personal data should be controlled byindividual citizens themselves. We will strengthen the powers of the InformationCommissioner to penalise any public body found guilty of mismanaging data.” Italso promised to conduct privacy impact assessment on any proposals thatinvolves data collection or sharing.

In addition the Scottish National Party announced proposals for public sectororganisations to avoid creating large centralised databases of personalinformation and keep clear audit trails on how identity data is used andoutlined its draft principles on risk management, governance, privacy andaccountability.

While all parties vouch for public security and privacy through their dataprotection policies, their methodology is strikingly different.

IT trends increase security fears
IWR News Desk, Information World Review, Wednesday 21 April 2010 at 17:24:00

Cloud computing and social networking leave UK businesses exposed to cyberattacks, a survey showed

Business use of technology is evolving faster now than at any point in thelast decade. Internet use has moved way beyond email and websites and into therealms of social networks and externally-hosted software services accessedacross the internet.

These changes have increased the vulnerability of UK companies and publicsector organisations to new cyber attacks. Hacking and denial of service attackshave doubled in the last two years. As a result, security remains high onmanagement’s list of priorities.

These are among the preliminary findings of the 2010 Information SecurityBreaches Survey (ISBS) commissioned by Infosecurity Europe and written byPricewaterhouseCoopers. The rate of adoption of newer technologies hasaccelerated over the last two years and most respondents now say they usewireless networking, remote access and VoIP. Some 85% of smaller organisationssaid they were using wireless, almost double the use in 2008.

The number of organisations allowing staff to have remote access to theirsystems has also increase with nine tenths of large companies now doing this.

As organisations have looked to cut their IT costs, they have increasinglyturned to external providers who host applications on their behalf. Theseservices, including Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud computing, are nowused by over three-quarters of the organisations polled and of these, 44% saidthey were entrusting critical services to third parties. All sectors are makinguse of the services, but government is least likely to release control ofcritical services.

At the same time that companies are increasing their dependence on otherorganisations for their IT services, there has been an explosion of new cyberattacks. 61% of large organisations have detected a significant attempt to breakinto their network in the last year, twice as many as two years ago.

Some 15% of large organisations have detected actual penetration by anunauthorised outsider into their network in the last year, and it is likely thatmany more were undetected. 25% of large organisations have suffered a denial ofservice attack in the last year, also more than double the proportion in 2008.Outsourcing IT services does not make the security risk go away, but fewcompanies are taking enough steps to ensure their outsourced services are notvulnerable to attack.

Chris Potter, partner, OneSecurity, PwC, said: “Very few organisations areencrypting data held on virtual storage, including the ‘cloud’. Worryingly, only17% of those with highly confidential data at external providers ensure that itis encrypted.

"Virtualisation and cloud computing seem to be set to follow the trend,established over the last decade, of controls lagging behind adoption of newtechnologies. Given the increased criticality and confidentiality of informationheld on virtual storage, organisations need to respond quickly to close thiscontrol gap.”

Autonomy ‘confident about recovery’ after seeing record Q1 revenues
IWR News Desk, Information World Review, Wednesday 21 April 2010 at 13:33:00

Data search and meaning-based computing specialist Autonomy reported a 50%rise on its Q1 2010 revenues at $194.2m

Dr Mike Lynch, group chief executive said: “We entered 2010 with strongmomentum after significant market share gains in 2009, aided by strong productpositioning and increased marketing expenditure at a time when other companieswere scaling back. This strength is now reinforced with discretionary spendbeing made available as companies look to invest for growth.

According to him, whilst Q1’10 reflected the expected seasonality as one ofitsr traditionally weaker quarters, “the stronger pipeline and improved closurerates mean that we are growing more confident about a possible recovery.Customers have resumed planning for larger projects, the main effects of whichwe expect to see in the second half.”

In the same quarter, the company appointed two non-executive directors to itsboard including Jonathan Bloomer and Dr Frank Kelly.

Lynch added: “Understanding of the applicability of IDOL SPE continues toincrease and
interest in this nascent market together with new product launches in themeaning based marketing and protect areas strengthen our overall offering. Wecontinue to make our technology available across a host of platforms from OEMand software license to appliance and cloud.

“These are likely to be strong growth drivers in 2010 and underpin ourpositive outlook, but we also remain mindful of the fragility of the globalmacro-economic environment.”

London leads the digital information age
IWR News Desk, Information World Review, Tuesday 20 April 2010 at 16:03:00

London is leading in transforming the way information is shared betweengovernment bodies and the public, said global data experts.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor, Carlo Ratti and Bryan Sivak,chief technology officer Washington DC, encouraged the Greater London Authority(GLA) group to continue moving forward with plans to release all of its datainto the London Datastore launched earlier this year.

At yesterday’s [Monday, April 19] event - “Possibilities of Real Time Data”,the experts evaluated the opportunities and benefits the release of publicinformation could bring to London. They highlighted the positive impact freelyavailable real time transport, crime and mobile phone data has had on improvingpublic services in the US.

The GLA has already made public vast swathes of previously unreleased datathrough the London Datastore and is currently working with all of the functionalbodies, and London’s boroughs, to release even more, including ‘real time’transport data from Transport for London.

Professor Ratti said: "Networks, wireless devices and all that distributedelectronics that is being referred to as 'smart dust' are transforming ourcities into computers in open air. As a result, we have the ability to collectvery large amounts of data. If properly treated - and if democratically sharedwith citizens, along the lines of what the GLA and the Obama Administration arestarting to do - this data could prove a goldmine to provide better services topeople and revolutionise urban life."

Leo Boland, chief executive, GLA said: “We’re well on the way to transformingthe way in which information is shared between government bodies and the publicin London. Releasing data, particularly real time data, for free will not onlyincrease transparency and accountability at the GLA but will also lead to thedevelopment of exciting new applications that can help make the city even moreaccessible for everyone.”

Meanwhile, Sivak said that the District of Columbia uses technology toincrease government transparency and accountability. “We have also been apioneer in inviting private developers to partner with government by creatingnew applications with government data and platforms.”

Also speaking at event were London-based developers Christopher Osborne fromITO World, Dr David Mountain, professor Jonathan Raper and Chris Thorpe and TobyBarnes, who have created an online game, Chromaroma, that shows subscriberstheir movements and location as they swipe their Oyster Cards in and out of theTube.

Canterbury Cathedral to digitise its archives
IWR News Desk, Information World Review, Monday 19 April 2010 at 13:19:00

The Canterbury Cathedral Archives, the University of Kent, and researchers inRouen are collaborating for a project - DocExplore - through whichCanterbury residents and visitors may in the future gain easy access to some ofthe older and/or more fragile documents held in the Cathedral Archives

The project aims to develop an interactive system which allows digitisedversions of valuable historical documents to be explored via a touch-screen,simulating, as far as possible, the experience of accessing the physical objectitself.

In addition to the documents, users can access translations andtranscriptions, read more about the period in which it was written, its contentsand who would have used it at the time with the system’s features includingadditional text, image, sound and video resources.

DocExplore aims at capturing the knowledge and expertise of theArchives’ staff by allowing them to easily present any available digitiseddocument.

It was developed by Dr Richard Guest, Professor Michael Fairhurst and DrYiqing Liang from the School of Engineering and Digital Arts (EDA) at theUniversity of Kent; Dr Catherine Richardson from the University’s Centre forMedieval and Early Modern Studies; Dr Malcolm Mercer and Dr Mark Bateson fromCanterbury Cathedral Archives; and a team of researchers from the University ofRouen and the Bibliothéque de Rouen Archives.

Canterbury Cathedral Archives holds records dating back at least 1300 years.Following an agreement on the second phase of this EU INTERREG IVA-fundedproject, the system will ultimately offer manuscript readers an even widervariety of tools, invaluable for both for the casual visitor with an interest inresearching these priceless documents, and for academic historians and literaryscholars.

For example, there will be tools to help readers to clarify annotations andto recover sections of the text which are damaged. It will also enableresearchers to identify and compare writing samples from different writers andto investigate the nature of the paper on which documents are written.

Dr Liang said: ‘The scoping phase of DocExplore began in April 2009.However, on the 17th and 18th of March this year, local residents were given theopportunity to preview the ideas underpinning the proposed system at a two-dayexhibition of the beautiful seventeenth century ‘Travel Diary of John Bargrave’held in the Cathedral’s archives. This exhibition and the feedback we receivedhelped us learn a great deal more about how to build on the basic concept andwill be useful for when we move on to the implementation of the ultimate systemin the next phase of the project.’

Springer extends eBook data on AuthorMapper
IWR News Desk, Information World Review, Monday 19 April 2010 at 13:17:00

Global scientific publisher Springer Science+Business Media has expanded itsservice on the website AuthorMapper, a free analytical online tool fordiscerning trends, patterns and subject experts within scientific research

The platform now offers eBook data as well. Currently the tool can retrieveinformation across all disciplines, from more than three million journalarticles and over 742,000 book chapters from 29,000 eBooks. Adding eBook dataallows all the benefits of specific eBook analysis just as the success of thejournal data has shown in the past, said the publisher.

AuthorMapper was launched a year ago offering searchable content from allSpringer and BioMed Central journals. It provides a variety of analyses, such askeyword tag clouds and "Top 5" bar charts for various important metrics, andincludes an interactive world map of the results.

Its advanced search function allows complex queries using keyword,discipline, institution, journal, publisher and author. The results can identifynew and historic scientific trends through timeline graphs and bar charts of topstatistics, allowing for identification of trends in the literature, discoveryof wider scientific relationships, and locating other experts in a field ofstudy.

It also features a trend timeline graph that allows authors to see whethertheir area of expertise is growing or has already peaked. Users that are onlyinterested in open access content can restrict their searches accordingly, andall search results provide link-outs to content on SpringerLink.

The tool is used by academics, post-docs and emerging researchers to identifywhich institutions are the most prolific in specific research areas and allowsfor their comparison. According to Springer, it can even be useful for membersof the general public seeking to identify experts, for example, medicalspecialists, working close to where they are located.
