A simple, cost-effective remedy to this inequity could put open-access publishing on a path to become a sustainable, efficient system." links: "url": "http://dx.doi.org/10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.1000165" tags: - "rule-based" - "open-access publishing" - "meta-model" - "source-to-source" - "Meta-Environment" - "systematic-approach" - "open-source" researchr: "https://researchr.org/publication/Shieber%3A2009" cites: 0 citedby: 0 journal: "PLoS Biol" volume: "7" number: "8" kind: "article" key: "Shieber:2009" - title: "Data-Purpose Algebra: Modeling Data Usage Policies" author: - name: "Chris Hanson" link: "https://researchr.org/alias/chris-hanson" - name: "Tim Berners-Lee" link: "http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/" - name: "Lalana Kagal" link: "https://researchr.org/alias/lalana-kagal" - name: "Gerald Jay Sussman" link: "http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/gjs/" - name: "Daniel J.

These restrictions on usage may be determined by statute, by contract, by custom, or by common decency, and they are used to control collection of data, diffusion of data, and the inferences that can be made over the data. In this paper, we present a data-purpose algebra that can be used to model these kinds of restrictions in various different domains. We demonstrate the utility of our approach by modeling part of the Privacy Act (5 USC ?552a)1, which states that data collected about US citizens can be used only for the purposes for which it was collected. We show (i) how this part of the Privacy act can be represented as a set of restrictions on data usage, (ii) how the authorized purposes of data flowing through different government agencies can be calculated, and (iii) how these purposes can be used to determine whether the Privacy Act is being enforced appropriately." links: doi: "http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/POLICY.2007.14" tags: - "contracts" - "meta-model" - "modeling" - "data-flow" - " algebra" - "Meta-Environment" - "systematic-approach" researchr: "https://researchr.org/publication/HansonBKSW07" cites: 0 citedby: 0 pages: "173-177" booktitle: "8th IEEE International Workshop on Policies for Distributed Systems and Networks (POLICY 2007), 13-15 June 2007, Bologna, Italy" publisher: "IEEE Computer Society" kind: "inproceedings" key: "HansonBKSW07" - title: "ScalaQL: Language-Integrated Database Queries for Scala" author: - name: "Daniel Spiewak" link: "http://www.cs.uwm.edu/~dspiewak/" - name: "Tian Zhao" link: "http://jiangxi.cs.uwm.edu/" year: "2009" abstract: "One of the most ubiquitous elements of modern computing is the relational database. Very few modern applications are created without some sort of database backend. Unfortunately, relational database concepts are fundamentally very different from those used in general-purpose programming languages. This creates an impedance mismatch between the the application and the database layers. One solution to this problem which has been gaining traction in the .NET family of languages is Language-Integrated Queries (LINQ). That is, the embedding of database queries within application code in a way that is statically checked and type safe. Unfortunately, certain language changes or core design elements were necessary to make this embedding possible. We present a framework which implements this concept of type safe embedded queries in Scala without any modifications to the language itself. The entire framework is implemented by leveraging existing language features (particularly for-comprehensions)." tags: - "programming languages" - "program comprehension" - "Scala" - "application framework" - "relational database" - "language design" - "programming" - "database" - "design" - "query language" researchr: "https://researchr.org/publication/Spiewak%3A2009" cites: 0 citedby: 0 booktitle: "Software Language Engineering, Second International Conference, SLE 2009, Denver, CO, USA, October 5-6, 2009, Revised Selected Papers" editor: - name: "Mark G.

I hope it's short enough to read, long enough to be useful, and organized to let you skip around and dive into detail only where you want detail. It doesn't cover every nuance or answer every objection. But for those who read it, it should cover enough territory to prevent the misunderstandings that delayed progress in our early days." links: doi: "http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htm" tags: - "open access" - "source-to-source" - "open-source" researchr: "https://researchr.org/publication/Suber%3A2007" cites: 0 citedby: 0 kind: "misc" key: "Suber:2007" - title: "CS woes: deadline-driven research, academic inequality" author: - name: "Jeannette M.
