Slides of my talk: http://people.csail.mit.edu/oshani/talks/swxg.pdf
15:12:07 [hhalpin]
topic: Oshani of MIT/DIG on her work on policy-aware content re-use
15:12:41 [melvster]
... use case where someones picture was taken from flickr
15:12:45 [melvster]
... advertising campagn
15:12:54 [melvster]
... but it was legal acc. to the rules, to use it
15:12:59 [melvster]

15:13:12 [melvster]
oshani: slides on irc
15:13:31 [melvster]
... im a phd student at DIG MIT
15:13:38 [melvster]
... focuses mainly on policies for the web
15:13:47 [melvster]
... how it relates to sem web
15:14:03 [melvster]
... first a small example, of why it's important to make people policy aware
15:14:13 [melvster]
... discuss a few tools we've developed in our group
15:14:22 [melvster]
... talk about 'respect my privcay'
15:14:46 [melvster]
... lots of content on the web 3.6bn on flickr, 1 trillion web pages
15:15:16 [melvster]
... people put their content on the web, and expect people to properly attribute
15:15:30 [melvster]
... cc licences is the de facto licence
15:15:52 [melvster]
... meant to be a rights expression, rather enforcement, expressed in human/machine readable format
15:16:08 [hhalpin]
Creative Commons I think was one of the main use cases for the creation of RDFa (i.e. RDF markup inside HTML)
15:16:09 [melvster]
... human readable, icons, text for lawyers
15:16:17 [melvster]
... machine readable too
15:16:28 [melvster]
... 100m flikr images CC licenced
15:16:33 [pchampin]
slide 6
15:16:45 [melvster]
... cc licences support different uses
15:16:53 [melvster]
... Share Alike most common
15:16:56 [melvster]
... non commercial use
15:17:11 [melvster]
... no derivatives, means you must use as is
15:17:15 [melvster]
... people can mix content
15:17:18 [pchampin]
slide 7
15:17:27 [melvster]
... most search engines support CC, yahoo google
15:17:35 [pchampin]
slide 8
15:17:47 [melvster]
... most content sites support CC
15:18:02 [melvster]
... you can generate your own CC licences
15:18:09 [melvster]
... from creativecommons.org
15:18:22 [melvster]
... you can generate from a wizard
15:18:31 [melvster]
cc:AttributionName
15:18:37 [melvster]
... cc:AttributionURL
15:18:42 [pchampin]
slide 10
15:18:46 [melvster]
... cc:morePermissions
15:18:53 [melvster]
... using RDF to describe licences
15:19:02 [melvster]
... licence has a UIR
15:19:08 [melvster]
s/UIR/URI
15:19:12 [pchampin]
slide 11
15:19:20 [rreck]
you could color code the edges
15:19:22 [melvster]
... human readable format is easy to read
15:19:30 [melvster]
... also uses RDFa
15:19:39 [melvster]
... will show you the permissions
15:20:17 [melvster]
... eg free to share / remix and the permissions beyond are availailble at <URI> attribution, and can properly attribute the person
15:20:18 [pchampin]
slide 13
15:20:34 [melvster]
... wanted to see if people are actually aware of these things
15:20:54 [melvster]
... 78% - 94% are not aware of CC
15:21:02 [melvster]
... we used flickr images
15:21:18 [melvster]
... CC did a survey saying images are the most commonly used content
15:21:27 [melvster]
... flickr has the largest collection of CC images
15:21:35 [melvster]
... nice URI
15:21:40 [melvster]
... to extract photo information
15:21:57 [melvster]
... used technorati to generate samples
15:22:07 [melvster]
... randomized selection of flikr image URIs
15:22:32 [melvster]
... authority rank, varies over time, and we collected 3 samples
15:22:37 [pchampin]
slide 17
15:22:50 [melvster]
... used CC attribution
15:23:01 [melvster]
... one of the well defined CC licences out there
15:23:11 [melvster]
... use username
15:23:21 [melvster]
... use URL
15:23:32 [melvster]
... close to wherever that content is used
15:23:57 [melvster]
... flickr username or full name of user, URL was flickr user url
15:24:00 [melvster]
... either /or
15:24:12 [melvster]
... questions?
15:24:26 [melvster]
hhalpin: was my intution, but this is the first statistics
15:24:32 [melvster]
... is there any related work?
15:24:36 [melvster]
oshani: not that i know of
15:24:40 [pchampin]
slide 18
15:24:53 [melvster]
... raw violations 78% - 94%
15:25:00 [hhalpin]
oh, I'd also be interested in stats of use of ccRel in microformats vs rdfa in the wild
15:25:06 [hhalpin]
or just in HTML as a picture.
15:25:13 [melvster]
... if it's your image you own the copyright
15:25:18 [hhalpin]
My guess is image in HTML will predominate...
15:25:23 [melvster]
... if you're not using the licence, then you're setting a precident
15:25:33 [melvster]
... precision analysis
15:25:38 [melvster]
... low precision
15:25:46 [melvster]
... needed to remove
15:25:52 [melvster]
... non self attributed images
15:26:00 [melvster]
... found a higher rate
15:26:03 [melvster]
... not bad people
15:26:14 [melvster]
... lazy / dont know terms / dont know how to properly attribute people

http://dig.csail.mit.edu/2008/WSRI-Exchange/results
15:27:03 [melvster]
hhalpin: did you look at only flickr? does it use microformats or rdfa?
15:27:13 [melvster]
oshani: they now use rdfa, but not during the experiment
15:27:18 [hhalpin]
great work helping them use RDFa.
15:27:47 [melvster]
hhalpin: interesting to see stats on how much machine readable format is out there
15:28:14 [pchampin]
slide 22
15:28:25 [melvster]
oshani: have several tools to enable policy awareness
15:28:30 [melvster]
... one is flickr cc validator
15:28:47 [melvster]
... idea is you can give any uri with flickr images
15:28:52 [melvster]
... can validate violations
15:29:08 [melvster]
... will show images that violate any licence, the owner, and how to correct
15:29:25 [MacTed]
Zakim, unmute me
15:29:25 [Zakim]
MacTed should no longer be muted
15:29:32 [melvster]
... limitations : can only validate images that have the flickr image uri
15:29:42 [melvster]
... it wont work with an alternate URI
15:30:03 [melvster]
... wont detect getty images etc. if they had been uploaded to flickr
15:30:38 [melvster]
MacTed: images that are hotlinked ... do you have anything that looks inside the image file, eg in the headers?
15:31:11 [melvster]
oshani: can look at meta data, but CC data isnt there unfortunately, just a key value pair that people can overwrite
15:32:16 [melvster]
MacTed: if someone is casually violating, do you detect that
15:32:31 [melvster]
oshani: there are tools that allow you to embed any key value pairs
15:33:20 [melvster]
oshani: better alternative, XMP where you can put RDF, I was proposing that to flickr
15:33:23 [hhalpin]
+1
15:33:27 [melvster]
... not sure whether they'll change
15:33:39 [hhalpin]
for embedding it themselves, make it as easy as possible for enduser
15:34:02 [melvster]
... want them to support XMP

http://dig.csail.mit.edu/FlickrCC/validator.cgi
15:34:35 [melvster]
... you can try it out
15:34:42 [melvster]
... other type of tool is more general
15:34:46 [melvster]
... any type of content
15:34:54 [pchampin]
slide 27
15:34:57 [melvster]
... so long as they have a CC licence in right expression lang
15:35:11 [melvster]
... right now only impl. for images
15:35:14 [melvster]
... FF extension
15:35:24 [melvster]
... if you're browsing images, it will show you if you can copy an image
15:35:40 [melvster]
... if you want to find images that are used for commercial purposes
15:35:47 [melvster]
... you can use the tool to highlight those images
15:35:49 [pchampin]
slide 28
15:36:02 [melvster]
... right click on an image
15:36:27 [melvster]
... context menu will allow you to copy, copy with licence, will make you automatically licence compliant
15:36:50 [melvster]
... limitations we would want rdfa, most content doesnt have rdfa
15:37:00 [melvster]
... hopefully supported in subsequent versions

MacTed: any chance it will be divorced from tabulator?
15:37:50 [melvster]
oshani: tabulator is in active development
15:37:57 [melvster]
... several unofficial uses
15:38:05 [melvster]
... it uses the tabulator rdf parser library
15:38:14 [melvster]
... so the code wont be replicated
15:38:33 [melvster]
MacTed: sandbox security settings are needed for tabulator
15:38:44 [melvster]
... if you dont do that tabulator doesnt work
15:38:55 [melvster]
oshani: i can do that
15:39:02 [melvster]

15:39:24 [melvster]
... how to give proper credit
15:39:37 [melvster]
... people worry about things like privacy on soc nets
15:39:56 [melvster]
... two of my colleagues created a project called 'repsect my privacy'
15:40:07 [pchampin]
slide 32
15:40:07 [melvster]
... specify restrictions
15:40:26 [melvster]
... facebook has access control settings, but what happens if the data somehow gets out?
15:40:31 [pchampin]
slide 33
15:40:46 [melvster]
... private information can be copied and reposted
15:40:59 [melvster]
... inferences can be made ... 'gaydar'
15:41:21 [hhalpin]
this work is actually rather scary!
15:41:58 [melvster]
... analysed MIT network and selected 1500 males, and based on inference principles, they can infer sexual orientation
15:42:31 [melvster]
... policy changes can also occur
15:42:36 [melvster]
... no clear cut solution
15:42:40 [Zakim]

... uses RMP decisions
15:46:34 [melvster]
... not allowed to keep exported data off facebook for > 24 hours
15:46:42 [melvster]
... makes it restrictive
15:46:47 [hhalpin]
hmm how do they enforce that time restriction?
15:46:50 [melvster]
... also used on tabulator
15:46:58 [melvster]

15:49:00 [melvster]
... example slide 43
15:49:07 [melvster]
... can intermix CC and RMP
15:49:19 [melvster]
... that's about it for RMP ... questions?
15:49:32 [hhalpin]
like the mixing, thats RDF
15:49:49 [melvster]
hhalpin: how does facebook legally enforce the 24h export data rule
15:49:55 [melvster]
oshani: it's the privacy policy
15:50:03 [melvster]
... dont know how they enforce it
15:50:22 [hhalpin]

15:51:14 [melvster]
oshani: no, we cant touch those, we can display a badge
15:51:44 [melvster]
... before you install the app, it gives the philosophy behind RMP, more a notice, encouraging people to be honest

15:52:19 [hhalpin]
questions?
15:53:35 [melvster]
hhalpin: we want distributed policy in access control languages, only a few uses, what are your thougths on CC and the other work being done, can we make it more general
15:53:35 [hhalpin]
but it could be part of an access control langauge
15:53:48 [melvster]
oshani: CC is data uses rather than access control
15:54:57 [melvster]
hhalpin: some use cases eg dump your penfriend, are content reuse, some issues solved by tagging, can people be notified
15:55:24 [hhalpin]
yes that's correct
15:55:27 [melvster]
oshani: that used CC attribution licences, and vigin mobile properly attributed the person that uploaded that image, so they were licence compliant
15:55:31 [hhalpin]
Virgin was license compliant!
15:55:33 [melvster]
... settled out of court
15:55:40 [hhalpin]
weird
15:55:44 [hhalpin]
