Law.gov and Primary Legal Documents: Discussions in New Haven and New York City

The following material comes via a blog post by Nicholas Bramble. Mr. Bramble is a Fellow at the Information Society Project at Yale University.

In his blog post, Bramble reports on a couple of recent panels he was on with Carl Malamud, Tom Bruce, and Helen Nissenbaum.

You can access the complete post here.

From the Blog Post:

Law.gov is an attempt to create a distributed registry and repository of primary legal materials. Carl is participating in a number of workshops this winter and spring at law schools, NGOs, courts, and governmental agencies; his goal is to figure out what the main obstacles and objections will be in promoting broad legal access through a repository such as law.gov.

[Snip]

At our NYLS panel, Helen, who has written a great new book called Privacy in Context, wondered how public legal materials changed when they were taken out of dusty physical court archives and released online.

[Snip]

During my talk, I mentioned my sympathy to the stronger (latter) notion of Helen’s that information leads a very different life once it’s released online. danah boyd, for one, has carefully catalogued and beautifully narrated the numerous advantages and problems of the persistence, searchability, replicability, and aggregation of online information.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
