‘Tis the season – let the snow falls (on this website) and be joyous…
For those of us who create applications (apps) or build systems we do so to meet business needs or to make a living or some other reasons. How we use the data subsequently (created by the apps) is generally not build into the apps. We don’t design apps to limit data generation or to identify data with meta data such that we know every bit of data being created. It is like asking for an app that will track every bit of data being created without the app creating data too. Imagine an app for this and guess what will top the chart for next year end ediscovery survey!
Is it the same as uttering or saying less (e-mail or phone) to convey a message without the message being short circuited or miss-interpreted?
I use applications every day. I create data every day too. I make dumb decision some day. Today I make a decision which is dumb due to lack of data being conveyed.
Dumb apps or dumb data or dumb me?

I have not done a search for the original article or press statements on ‘the Commission’s concept for the future EU data privacy framework’ as mentioned in Development and revision of global data privacy and security laws
on lexology.
Why five principles?
This principle – Privacy by design - sounds great with the 3 words title which is rather arty and catchy like a company’s business motto.
The description – ‘New technical developments have to observe data privacy requirements at an early development stage, thus permitting the introduction of data protecting hardware and software’.
Only ‘new’ technical developments and at an ‘early’ development stage?
Just another play with words for my own amusement.
In terms of designing hardware and software for data privacy and/or protection, the play with words will not help software folks.
The new order of data - SoLoMo for social, local, mobile data. Now this is what I call ‘ediscovery rhyme’ !
Does this mean that Cloud Computing is now passé?
To quote Paknad in the news at law.com: “There’s no easy button, there’s just complex and more complex buttons.”
Complex buttons leading to more sore fingers and eyes ( even with predictive coding! ).
The ediscovery space is no longer just driven by ediscovery vendors but also by predictive coding technology which is being heralded as a ‘game-changing’ capability as highlighted by OrcaTec. Excellent posting by the author, Herbert L. Roitblat.
Please note that I have not included the trademark symbol in this blog & in the blog’s title as I am not referring to Recommind’s patented ‘predictive coding’.
Embracing technology, including predictive coding, is ultimately a game-changing ‘war’ (Predictive Coding war breaks out in US ediscovery sector? ).
Let’s hope more predictive coding technology will be deployed for cost cutting the ediscovery costs and not be locked in competition mode.
I guess ediscovery folks have discovered the Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for E-Discovery Software. Nothing to comment here except to note that it’s done for competition purposes not for collaboration.
Gartner Magic Quadrant E-Discovery SW
Interesting development in the web space which most likely will attract other willing collaborators (or competitors) to join in.
This development is also interesting for the ediscovery space as we now have ‘microdata’ .
