Governance and Information Technology
From Electronic Government to Information Government
Edited by Viktor Mayer-Schönberger and David Lazer
MIT Press, forth. September 2007 >>>
Developments in information and communication technology and networked computing over the past two decades have given rise to the notion of electronic government, most commonly used to refer to the delivery of public services over the Internet. This volume argues for a shift from the narrow focus of "electronic government" on technology and transactions to the broader perspective of information government--the information flows within the public sector, between the public sector and citizens, and among citizens--as a way to understand the changing nature of governing and governance in an information society.
The chapters discuss the interplay between recent technological developments and evolving information flows, and the implications of different information flows for efficiency, political mobilization, and democratic accountability. The chapters are accompanied by short case studies from around the world, which cover such topics as electronic government efforts in Singapore and Switzerland, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s effort to solicit input on planned regulations over the Internet, and online activism "cyberprotesting" globalization.

sulla storia di "Shibboleth"
Shibboleth authentication in tecnologia: >>>
e nella sua origine biblica, dal Libro dei Giudici (cap. 12):
[1] Ora gli uomini di Efraim si radunarono, passarono il fiume verso Zafon e dissero a Iefte: "Perché sei andato a combattere contro gli Ammoniti e non ci hai chiamati con te? Noi bruceremo te e la tua casa".
[2] Iefte rispose loro: "Io e il mio popolo abbiamo avuto grandi lotte con gli Ammoniti; quando vi ho chiamati in aiuto, non siete venuti a liberarmi dalle loro mani.
[3] Vedendo che voi non venivate in mio aiuto, ho esposto al pericolo la vita, ho marciato contro gli Ammoniti e il Signore me li ha messi nelle mani. Perché dunque siete venuti oggi contro di me a muovermi guerra?".
[4] Iefte, radunati tutti gli uomini di Gàlaad, diede battaglia ad Efraim; gli uomini di Gàlaad sconfissero gli Efraimiti, perché questi dicevano: "Voi siete fuggiaschi di Efraim; Gàlaad sta in mezzo a Efraim e in mezzo a Manàsse".
[5] I Galaaditi intercettarono agli Efraimiti i guadi del Giordano; quando uno dei fuggiaschi di Efraim diceva: "Lasciatemi passare", gli uomini di Gàlaad gli chiedevano: "Sei un Efraimita?". Se quegli rispondeva: "No",
[6] i Galaaditi gli dicevano: "Ebbene, dì Scibbolet", e quegli diceva Sibbolet, non sapendo pronunciare bene. Allora lo afferravano e lo uccidevano presso i guadi del Giordano. In quella occasione perirono quarantaduemila uomini di Efraim.
[7] Iefte fu giudice d'Israele per sei anni. Poi Iefte, il Galaadita, morì e fu sepolto nella sua città in Gàlaad.

eLearning Papers
Nel 2002 è stato lanciata un'iniziativa della Commissione europea per sostenere l'educazione e la formazione attraverso ogni genere di strumento tecnologico e multimediale: l'apertura del portale elearningeuropa.info. Dal suo avvio, il portale ha favorito l'utilizzo di contenuti di alta qualità, nonché il dialogo e la cooperazione per promuovere l'uso di nuove tecnologie nel campo dell'educazione.
Da allora si sono susseguiti vari avvenimenti e sono emerse nuove esigenze e nuove sfide nei settori dell'educazione e della tecnologia. Dopo aver incoraggiato la discussione tra i professionisti dell'e-learning europei e realizzato un ricco archivio di contenuti e-learning, siamo ora impegnati a lanciare una pubblicazione digitale con il titolo di eLearning Papers, una piattaforma esclusiva che offre articoli, interviste e buone pratiche relativi all'e-learning >>>

sitemaps.org
Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site.
Web crawlers usually discover pages from links within the site and from other sites. Sitemaps supplement this data to allow crawlers that support Sitemaps to pick up all URLs in the Sitemap and learn about those URLs using the associated metadata. Using the Sitemap protocol does not guarantee that web pages are included in search engines, but provides hints for web crawlers to do a better job of crawling your site.

Online Health Search 2006
Eighty percent of American internet users, or some 113 million adults, have searched for information on at least one of seventeen health topics. Most internet users start at a general search engine when researching health and medical advice online. Just 15% of health seekers say they “always” check the source and date of the health information they find online, while another 10% say they do so “most of the time.” Fully three-quarters of health seekers say they check the source and date “only sometimes,” “hardly ever,” or “never,” which translates to about 85 million Americans gathering health advice online without consistently examining the quality indicators of the information they find. Most health seekers are pleased about what they find online, but some are frustrated or confused >>>

Learning Globally - Perspectives From Outside the United States
Alison Blair, Australian Catholic University
Lorenzo Cantoni, University of Lugano (Switzerland)
We are all living and learning in a "flatter" world in which learning must be delivered globally and with a broader base of content. Yet our individual styles, cultures, needs and audience preferences also come into play. Join us to discuss the views and experiences of some of our colleagues living and practicing outside the United States.
• What are the unique characteristics of learning and learning innovation in various regions of the world?
• What are the influences of early education techniques and governmental roles in learning/training or access to resources?
• How do organizations best create learning programs that "work" throughout the world?
