Open data : toujours pas de licence commune en France? L'empilement des textes tels que la loi Cada de 1978, ODbL ou la licence-type de l'APIE, freine le développement de la libération des données publiques dans notre pays. État des lieux de licences utilisées. Le choix d’une licence de réutilisation à apposer aux données ouvertes est l’un des premiers choix politiques d’un programme d’ouverture de données publiques.
Il s’agit de conditionner les droits et devoirs associés à la mise à disposition et à la réutilisation des données. Tandis que certains pays légifèrent pour créer une licence unique de réutilisation, l’entrée tardive de l’État français dans le mouvement open data a obligé les collectivités ouvertes à improviser sur le sujet. Si ces dernières communiquent entre elles sur les retours d’expérience et la mutualisation de procédures d’ouverture, l’absence d’une licence juridique de référence leur impose de répéter individuellement un travail juridique complexe et chronophage.

Ugandan Government tries to ban Facebook and Twitter. The Ugandan government recently asked major telecoms operators in the country to block Facebook and Twitter Global Voices Online reports. This is following protests over rising fuel and food prices in the East African country. Ugandan opposition politicians such as Kizza Besigye have been organizing walk to work protests and hunger strikes and have sparked passionate conversations about the protests and strikes on Twitter. For instance #walktowork trended on the Ugandan Twittersphere last week.
(You can view the ongoing conversation on Twitter here). According to the New York Times, “Mr. Besigye was dragged onto the back of a pickup truck by several police officers on Monday, his right hand in a cast and sling after being shot by military police with a rubber bullet on Thursday, the second day of the walk to work demonstrations.” The recent ban attempt and protests follows rising protests across the continent from Tunisia to Gabon. The New Information Age. LinkedIn Founder Reid Hoffman said, recently, “that if Web 1.0 involved go search, get data and some limited interactivity, and if Web 2.0 involves real identities and real relationships, then Web 3.0 will be real identities generating massive amounts of data.” Reid is a visionary and certainly had this right. But the information that Reid described is just the tip of the iceberg. We are already gathering a thousand times more data than that. The growth is exponential, and the innovation opportunities are even bigger than Silicon Valley can imagine they are.
I’m going to explain why I believe this. Over the centuries, we gathered a lot of data on things such as climate, demographics, and business and government transactions. This rapidly evolved into Web 2.0. But there is much, much more happening in the Web 3.0 world. In 2009, President Obama launched an ambitious program to modernize our healthcare system by making all health records standardized and electronic. ?url_zop=http%3a%2f%2fabonnes.lemonde.fr%2ftechnologies%2farticle%2f2011%2f03%2f04%2fl-essor-des-tablettes-va-rogner-les-ventes-de-pc-en-2011-et-2012_1488170_651865.

There's some interesting data from mobile analytics firm Localytics out this week - in a recent report, it found that 26% of the time, customers never launch a mobile application they've download more than once. In a report titled "First Impressions Matter," the firm detailed its findings, which includes both good news and bad.

Anderson. Online. Terminologie. Playdom Hires Former Yahoo! and Microsoft Executive. Robert Cailliau : un pionnier du Web. En 1990, Robert Cailliau et Tim Berners-Lee ont inventé le World Wide Web. Ils ont développé les protocoles qui structurent le Web, ont mis au point le premier serveur Web et le premier navigateur Web, le design du premier logo officiel du Web et persuadé le CERN d’offrir leur projet au monde. Ces premiers pas ont changé l’histoire et permis de transformer Internet qui, d’académique est devenu un média de communication de masse. Vous pouvez imaginer à quel point nous sommes fiers d’annoncer que Robert Cailliau sera le conférencier d’honneur pour le discours d’introduction de The Next Web Conference 2010 Cette année marque le 21ème anniversaire du World Wide Web. Nous essaierons donc, lors de la conférence, d’avoir un regard sur l’avenir du Web avec une perspective historique. Via The Next Web.
