Download or read book E Content written by Peter A. Bruck and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-01-16 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies develop rapidly and reach hurricane levels of velocity but quality E-Content and innovative applications lag behind. This book addresses the question how content industries change within a digital environment and what role information and communication technologies play in transforming the competitive landscape. The authors argue that post-industrial societies tend to pay substantial amounts for equipment and gadgets but invest far too little in the quality of the content. As a result, much effort is and has to be spent on the enhancement of E-Content. The contributions give an elaborate overview of: - the specifics, challenges and prospects of content in the network economy; - market developments of digital media services; - paid content business models; - impacts on scientific publishing; - developments in the field of E-Learning; - the interplay between technology and content with the example of interactive digital TV; - the mobile games market; - emerging new cross media markets; - the need to enhance the usability of websites and mobile applications; - how digital applications might be used to capture and store our personal experiences. A final chapter shows the prospects of the European E-Content market and gives an overview of valuable initiatives and resources dealing with the topic of E-Content.

Download or read book Public Sector Information in the Digital Age written by Georg Aichholzer and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2004-12-20 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely volume reviews key issues and developments in the controversial area of public sector information (PSI). It addresses the fundamental themes, challenges and conflicts surrounding the access to, and use of, PSI in the new digital era. Using detailed empirical analyses and case studies from across Europe and the USA, the authors focus on the crucial policy, economic, legal and social issues. The public sector is the biggest single producer and holder of information including administrative and government documents, regulatory texts, political data and public registers. The authors demonstrate that this huge store of information is a key resource for a broad range of stakeholders such as citizens, civic organisations, private businesses and public sector agencies. They argue that charging the marginal cost of dissemination, a policy favoured in the US, will lead to optimal economic growth in society and will far outweigh the immediate perceived benefits of aggressive cost recovery.
Download or read book The Impact of Internet on the Mass Media in Europe written by Nikos Leandros and published by Arima Pub. This book was released on 2006 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Media and the wider sector of communication are changing under the impact of the Internet. The changes affect all aspects of the communication process, audiences, media and information producers and, inevitably, the role of the media in society. As communication industries are converging it becomes possible for companies to expand the range of their services. Previously clearly defined industry structures are dissolving and integrated media companies turn into cross - media service companies and traditional publishers into new media ventures, which publish across various distribution channels, such as Internet, wireless devices or CD-ROM. The practices of journalism and content creation also change by the overwhelming mass of information that the Internet offers. New opportunities for information delivery to readers require the acquisition of new skills in the spheres principally of information presentation and organization. This book discusses the new phenomena and the dynamics of change of the European media landscape. It includes a selection of papers from the final conference of the COST Action A20 on the impact of the internet on the existing mass media in Europe. Nikos Leandros is Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication, Media and Culture of Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Greece. COST is an intergovernmental framework for European CO-operation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research, allowing the co-ordination of nationally funded research on a European level. COST Actions cover basic and pre-competitive research as well as activities of public utility. The goal of COST is to ensure that Europe holds a strong position in the field of scientific and technical research for peaceful purposes, by increasing European cooperation and interaction in this field.

Directorate-General Press and Communication and published by Luxembourg : Office for Official Publications of the European Communities. This book was released on 2003 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internet is changing the world we live in, and the challenge for Europe is to embrace the digital age and become a truly knowledge-based economy. The way in which the European Union manages this transition will help determine our quality of life, our working conditions and the overall competitiveness of our industries and services. 'eEurope' is the EU's scheme for guiding this process of change and for modernising our education and vocational training systems to ensure digital literacy at school and in the workplace. eEurope and the related education strategy have become the driving force behind the EU's push to become the most competitive knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010.
Download or read book Regulation of Information Technology in the European Union written by Terry Broderick and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-11-08 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information technology is continuing to transform global communications and the world economy with innovative products and services. In this dynamic environment, events tend to be market-driven and it may be difficult for the regulators to keep up. At the same time, there is a need for public authorities to promote effective competition within a clear, coherent, and predictable framework. This useful reference work summarizes the major rules and policies for information technology at the European level. It describes the institutional framework and general policies for the `information society', examines the detailed rules for external trade, competition and intellectual property, and discusses the Internet and electronic commerce. It provides an excellent overview of the subject as well as a good starting point for additional research on particular issues. This unique work will be of great value for practising lawyers, corporate counsel, business executives, consultants, academics, and government or trade association officials.

Download or read book None of Your Business written by Peter P. Swire and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historic European Union Directive on Data Protection will take effect in October 1998. A key provision will prohibit transfer of personal information from Europe to other countries if they lack "adequate" protection of privacy. If enforced as written, the Directive could create enormous obstacles to commerce between Europe and other countries, such as the United States, that do not have comprehensive privacy statutes. In this book, Peter Swire and Robert Litan provide the first detailed analysis of the sector-by-sector effects of the Directive. They examine such topics as the text of the Directive, the tension between privacy laws and modern information technologies, issues affecting a wide range of businesses and other organizations, effects on the financial services sector, and effects on other prominent sectors with large transborder data flows. In light of the many and significant effects of the Directive as written, the book concludes with detailed policy recommendations on how to avoid a coming trade war with Europe. The book will be of interest to the wide range of individuals and organizations affected by the important new European privacy laws. More generally, the privacy clash discussed in the book will prove a major precedent for how electronic commerce and world data flows will be governed in the Internet Age.

Download or read book Internet Histories written by Niels Brügger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2017, the new journal Internet Histories was founded. As part of the process of defining a new field, the journal editors approached leading scholars in this dynamic, interdisciplinary area. This book is thus a collection of eighteen short thought-provoking pieces, inviting discussion about Internet histories. They raise and suggest current and future issues in the scholarship, as well as exploring the challenges, opportunities, and tensions that underpin the research terrain. The book explores cultural, political, social, economic, and industrial dynamics, all part of a distinctive historiographical and theoretical approach which underpins this emerging field. The international specialists reflect upon the scholarly scene, laying out the field’s research successes to date, as well as suggest the future possibilities that lie ahead in the field of Internet histories. While the emphasis is on researcher perspectives, interviews with leading luminaries of the Internet’s development are also provided. As histories of the Internet become increasingly important, Internet Histories is a useful roadmap for those contemplating how we can write such works. One cannot write many histories of the 1990s or later without thinking of digital media – and we hope that Internet Histories will be an invaluable resource for such studies. This book was originally published as the first issue of the Internet Histories journal.
