Data Mining: the impact of trade convenience for security

We believe we owners of our intimacy, only WE ARE know s what we want to know who we want to know. It looks like a tongue twister, but that's what we think.

However, all have an email account, the score card of Ikea and Carrefour, a Facebook account and a bank account online. Some of these things are incidental, we could give them up without much hesitation. Instead, we make it much other life. For example, keep abreast of developments in our current account is very useful and allows us to avoid going to the bank to do something very common before, updating the card.

Other elements have already become almost indispensable, and have an email account.

And others allow us to save a few eurillos see Mercadona have the card.

In all cases, give our personal data like a minor issue, it costs us nothing. However, for firms our data and activity we conduct, reflected in our record of phone calls, purchases in the supermarket, financial transactions carried out, etc., Is an invaluable information. This allows them to refine better customer acquisition campaigns, advertising, etc.

Franganillo As George says in the article comment and summarize here , companies are not interested to know what I like yogurt or how much gasoline echo a week. Not interested individual data but all data from hundreds of thousands of consumers and their analysis through the so-called "data mining" to determine consumption patterns.

If we use many services, we have no choice but to accept the terms of use imposed by the companies, but is it ethical and fair to our privacy, reflected in our consumption habits, is known by others, in this case business? Who cares what our favorite shampoo?

addition, knowledge of these data can lead to clearly discriminatory acts. For example, knowing our zip code, companies know what neighborhood we live, we can have more difficulty getting a loan.
A less obvious, and it clarifies how sophisticated can be the analysis of companies is as follows: in France has shown statistically that red car buyers have a higher percentage of defaults on loans. Therefore, people who want to buy a red car, are exposed, either, to have to pay an interest rate higher than the purchaser of a car black. There is no doubt that this is not is fair, this is a clearly discriminatory act.

Perhaps the speed at which modern life will not let us stop and think. Therefore, items like Jorge Franganillo are very healthy, but to avoid the inevitable (Vivim in a computerized world in which everything is recorded), then at least to understand the world around us.

Greetings.

Free "is more public? (II)

Following the post on the last day, I'm sure that most think, "suddenly making payment services librarian when they have always been free? will be the ruin of the libraries! And now we are in crisis. Not to mention that those who visit the libraries more are precisely the people with more resources. "

And of course they were right to everyone s those who think so.

But what I want to raise here is not to establish tariffs for maybe get a few euros more to keep public libraries. This is a general discussion, which also includes the libraries, but that goes further, that applies to all public services.

sure you remember the "civility", what they studied in school, our grandparents and parents, and now is called citizenship. But at one time or another, now or yesterday, means the same: respect the rules of public coexistence. In what is also making an appropriate and respectful use of public goods and services.

How many times have we seen break or burn a bin or container for a kid? Nor is it known how many times. And why do not you care? He knows that he will pay the damage, which in a few days there will be a new paper by birlibirloque art.

But make no mistake, we all know that the disregard of public affairs is not the heritage of adolescents. On the other hand is something inherited from the old, how could it be otherwise. Or perhaps more than once, being on the beach, we did not yelling at someone who throw cigarette butts in the sand or leave their garbage on the sand, and he has responded rudely something like: What? The beach belongs to everyone! Or how much to tell us pretending to repent: Sorry, I was going to pick it up.

Honestly, I'm tired, tired of these behaviors. I concluded that everything that costs money, not valued . That is, everything is public, paid for by our taxes.

And the same is the case with public libraries. It is believed that libraries, as well, and public service are like mushrooms, emerged from the soil naturally. And do not appreciate all that they offer to society. Many think they do not charge for services is not exactly the best way that most citizens appreciate the library profession.

But I do not speak of charging users high rates, particularly on the lending of materials. Simply raise charging a nominal fee per loan, for example 25 euro cents (the rate that may be exempt certain population groups unemployed, youth and people with low income).

may for a time users are surprised and complained. But over time they would see that it is nothing more burdensome and would value libraries and librarians.

public libraries actually would get money to finance only those charges, but achieved much more importantly, to demonstrate to people that nothing is free that we have take care of public property, which belong to everyone because we all pay.

"Free is more public? (I)

few days ago I read an article by Thomas Baiget referred to the information services of libraries and the very majority opinion of librarians that library services in general must be free. And Thomas Baiget argued that this position was that public libraries (all types) acted as a monopoly that stifled any private business initiative seeking to implement documentation services to other companies.

certainly seemed like a reflection interesting about free or free services offered by public libraries. In Spain, it has clearly chosen the gratuity. But we know that other countries, particularly whites, have preferred to have an impact on users of the cost of services.

All this leads me to wonder: Does the free of charge is inherent to the public?

With little to think, I conclude that no . For example, we can all agree that local transport services are a public service. But we can think of anyone entering a city bus without paying previously the ticket.

If this is the case with municipal transport, why not be like with libraries?

Yes, I know, users already pay their taxes libraries and culture and information is a social right. But is less and less social duty collection and treatment of waste, or municipal water service? The citizens pay their taxes and, separately, also with additional regular rates.

still do not want to say whether or not I am in favor of charges are made for library services, I will not give clues. But just wanted to make one last question, do you think we value enough the public (in general) or, on the contrary, we have it in very low esteem?

I hope you interested in this subject and that you participate with your comments. Until the next post. Greetings.

The impact of Web 2.0 in scientific journals

scientific publishers are increasingly interested in learning more about their influence in academia. Hence they are appearing new tools through projects such as Measure, COUNTER or bibliometrics Usage. To learn more deeply this issue, I attended a recent article Subscribed Information, by Álvaro Cabezas-Clavijo and Daniel Torres-Salinas (1).

PLoS

The publisher has implemented a unique set of indicators to measure the use of its publications. Specifically, we are 23 indicators that can be placed in the following four groups:

-user interaction and participation (comments, rating items)

-Use Articles (downloads the file; visits or access to full text free download)

-Diffusion in Web 2.0 (links and citations of articles in specialized portals for scientific blogs, bookmarks or tagging social)

-traditional Recognition (quotations)

The analysis of the results of the indicators has identified the following issues:

"The poor implementation that has the Web 2.0 community scientific. The links on science blogs and labeling are poorly incorporated into the routines of scientists.

-Following the same path, comments and scores of articles are rarely used. This and the lack of implementation of Web 2.0 could be explained by the particular competitive and hermetic science. Nobody wants to give the slightest help to other researchers or antagonizing an editorial.

"So the indicators continue to be imposed to determine the impact of a publication or an article are traditional: the number of visits and downloads, and number of citations.

"On the other hand, the authors seem that it shows that the number of citations to the articles in PLoS journals (eg that may be extrapolated to many other publications reservations Open Access) is reduced. So the relevance of the articles or their impact in the scientific community is not optimal.

Gratuity still seems to be hardly worth taken into account in the scientific world, which prefers to spend significant sums of money as long as access to relevant publications and authors. No doubt the field of science has nothing to do with the needs and tastes of the general public (which perhaps should be no surprise).
