articles · Web Search & CC Licenses
9/6/2008 16:27 · 16 votes · 1 comment
How many web search engines actually allow to filter for Creative Commons-licensed materials? How many websites allow you to search for CC-licensed images only? How about videos and audio materials? I did a quick survey of a number of (English-language) websites.
CC licenses and their accompanying symbols basically announce that a text/image/video/audio material is in the public...

Snapshots of Belgian landmark building require copyright clearance
Have you ever been to Belgium, more in particular the capital, Brussels? Surely you took a stroll around the Grand Place (the Medieval market square and a UNESCO World Heritage site) and chuckled at the nearby Manneken Pis (statue of a little boy peeing - I kid you not!). The next most visited tourist attraction...

articles · Archaeologists Coming Out of the Cold
30/11/2007 15:30 · no comments
Archaeology is the study of the traces people from the past have left behind, both artifacts and less direct remains, which are then used to reconstruct how ancient societies functioned: politics, art, religion, economy, crafts, entertainment, etc. It takes dedication, specialization and painstaking study. Indiana Jones needn’t apply. As an academic profession it has an ivory...

articles · Ancient Righting: Archaeologists & Copyright
3/7/2008 03:50 · 6 votes · no comments · editable for the next 19 h more
From 6-8 June, I was lucky enough to be able to attend a scholarly symposium at UCLA in sunny Southern California: the UCLA/Getty Storage Symposium. Preservation and Access to Archaeological Materials. I live blogged it on the IW&A Blog. Of course, the papers were very specialised and/or technical, and normally only interesting for archaeologists and conservators. However, one issue...

articles · What's In A Name? The Double-Binds Inherent in Controlling Cultural Terms
by alli.fish · voted on 5/7/2008 05:57 · 33 votes · no comments
Almost every morning as I drink my first cup of morning coffee I go online to read the news, visit a few blogs (usually the less-than-thought provoking gossip blogs), and scan through my email. Without fail I collect several stories from each of these sources (even the gossip blogs!) relating to the bizarre attempts of various individuals and groups to determine who has the legal...

This article is an introduction to the BISA Copyright Review project, a comparative project being run by FGV, The Alternative Law Forum and iCommons.
An Introduction
By Lawrence Liang
Any study that attempts to investigate three of the most important countries from Asia, Latin America and Africa has a rather heavy representational burden placed on it. Before embarking on...

articles · Open Visualisation in a Deluge of Data
by Wojciech Gryc, Five Minutes to Midnight · commented on 13/6/2008 15:16 · 32 votes · 2 comments
Social networking, blogging, tagging, recommender systems, and other collaborative technologies have changed the face of the Internet, and life as we know it. For sociologists, anthropologists, and even physicists and mathematicians, such services have provided a constant stream of data and information about the lives of millions of people. Like anyone who has observed a visualised...
