"What is Access to Knowledge?" - by Jack Balkin, Information Society Project (ISP), Yale Law School, prepared for 2006 Access to Knowledge conference.
"For the last year Yochai Benker and I have been running a research seminar at Yale...trying to understand the larger theoretical commitments behind the access to knowledge movement. ....
"Today I want to make three points about the theory of access to knowledge.
"First, Access to Knowledge is a demand of justice.
"Second, Access to Knowledge is both an issue of economic development and an issue of individual participation and human liberty.
"Third, Access to Knowledge is about intellectual property, but it is also about far more than that."

recently I ran into an old friend from college, Liz Goodman, and heard about the wonderful things she is doing as a design researcher at Intel's User Centered Design group, in Portland. In fall 2004 she co-taught a course at San Francisco Art Institute, "Site-specific: Wireless Networks and Urban Art Practice." (link to PDF of course bibliography).
NYC Restaurants I want to try, or try again. Like a personal Zagat's; but mostly chowhound-places places for now, mostly downtown Union Sq/E. Village/Chinatown/LES. Because I like to always have suggestions on hand.

"Opening up OpenURLs with Autodiscovery" by Chudnov, Frumkin, et al. Ariadne April 2005.
"Figure 8 further demonstrates the WAG the Dog Web Localizer leaving OpenURL autodiscovery tags in its wake, allowing localisation for any user. In this example, the Georgia Tech 'WAGged' page is then localised for a Yale user via a bookmarklet click."
points to Hellman/Openly's proposal:
"Latent OpenURLs in HTML for Resource Autodiscovery, Localization and Personalization".

"Towards Library Groupware with Personalised Link Routing"
by Chudnov, Frumkin, et al. Ariadne July 2004.
"successful library groupware should provide individuals and groups with a common set of information functions they may apply to any information they find anywhere."

idea: for improving readibility when writing emails / technical communication.
- develop an analytical dictionary+thesaurus of words, phrases,
acronyms, in which each item is rated on how likely given audiences are
to understand it correctly. You could start with a general
rating, then possibly add different rating tables for other audiences
(e.g. non-native English speakers, Indians, Chinese).
- Possibly, gather this data empirically via statistical analysis. For example, analysis
of word/phrase incidence in written passages of different rated
difficulty levels. Or, a "rate how clear this was" widget
attached to some widely-used document systems such as high-traffic FAQ
sites.
- Use this data in a spelling/grammer checker/wizard -- it would
make suggestions for equivalent words, phrases, or constructions judged
to have higher readability.
Latest findings to look at more when I have a chance:
