a collusion of laws,regulations & standards on e-mails

I wondered if the term, collusion to mean ‘interplay’ (or more precisely in the old etymological sense of playing fairly together?) could be used in the context of looking at the various laws, regulations and standards surrounding e-mails.

According to Prof. Tony Hoare at a BCS evening talk, the collusion of the Science of Programming with the Engineering of Software provides interesting areas for research in domain modelling and ontology related subject areas (e.g. ontology languages).

Maybe one day there will be a ‘perfect domain model’ to represent our ‘real world’ with unbounded boundaries and constraints. Until that day…the present reality is that there are hosts of all kinds of information sets to talk about and write about.

If one can create a ‘wall on collusion’ of all existing laws and regulations on data and information, what would it look like?

Discovery of ESI (DESI) – Research Initiatives

Back in summer 2007 the International Association for Artificial Intelligence and Law, ICAIL (in CA, USA) hosted a workshop on Supporting Search and Sensemaking for Electronically Stored Information in Discovery Proceedings (DESI Workshop). The second DESI Workshop will be hosted by UCL, London this June. According to the UCL website, the second DESI Workshop coordinates with the International Conference on Digital Evidence on 26th-27th June at Vintners Hall in London.

It would be interesting to see what topics and/or papers will be generated.

1st International Conference on Digital Evidence – June, London

In ploughing through my backlog of e-mails, I came across what I think may be an event worth attending. The website stated ‘The aim of the Conference is to alert judges, lawyers…’. No mention of private judges/arbitrators.
