Applying Contextual integrity to Open Data Publishing

Open data publishing by both corporate and public bodies has increased significantly in recent years and this type of data could soon be developing into a real commodity. However, not all organisations pay sufficient heed to privacy as part of the decision-making process around open data publication, leaving both the organisation and the users whose data they handle vulnerable to privacy breaches. We present a case study in which we applied contextual integrity in practice, working with a UK local authority using real data. This illustrated how privacy can be incorporated into the decision-making process prior to publication taking place. Our results illustrate the application of Nissenbaum's Contextual Integrity Framework (CI) to the open data domain, and shows that CI is usable in practice

The preservation and archiving of geospatial data and Cybercartography as a proactive preservation process

Digital mapping is now ubiquitous and an increasing amount of geodata is being created by all sectors. Despite this explosion, few data are preserved and, as a result, a fundamental source of scientific and cultural heritage, culture and knowledge, is very much at risk. The chapter therefore argues that the preservation of maps and spatial information requires dedicated resources. The authors examine the challenges and opportunities of preserving Canadian geospatial data and begin by telling the story of the rescue and salvage of the Canada Land Inventory, followed by a review of Canadian preservation initiatives, laws, policies, and directives. In addition, four existing preservation and geospatial data management examples are introduced; tools for establishing a preservation system are shown and cybercartographic atlases ar
