TL;DR: The idea of separating the infotecnologia of la sociedad from the infoprofesionales of the infrastructures of la infotencias is a concept that no duda esta en la mente de todos los infoprosalistas, pero a menudo sin un grado de conviccion y concrecion suficiente as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Con este articulo invitado vuelvo a Novatica. despues de 15 anos,con el mensaje basico de que ahora, menos que nunca, podemos separar la infotecnologia de la sociedad, idea que sin duda esta en la mente de todos los infoprofesionales, pero a menudo sin un grado de conviccion y concrecion suficiente. En esta ocasion comparezco con el proposito de glosar brevemente una herramienta conceptual disenada para ayudar a comprender globalmente la arquitectura de la infotecnologia y algunas de las claves que determinan su impacto en el entorno social.

TL;DR: This article present a transcripcion aproximada de las principales ideas that el autor desgrano de manera muy informal and distendida in conferencia durante la III Jornadas Universitarias de Tecnologia Educativa, and por tanto carece del rigor metodologico y bibliografico de cualquier contribucion cientifica.
Abstract: Este texto es una transcripcion aproximada de las principales ideas que el autor desgrano de manera muy informal y distendida en su conferencia durante
las III Jornadas Universitarias de Tecnologia Educativa, y por tanto carece del rigor metodologico y bibliografico de cualquier contribucion cientifica. Precisamente,en la conferencia el autor utilizo un estilo impresionista, un tanto provocador, para animar el debate posterior y tambien unas coloridas transparencias, que son intransferibles al formato de papel de un texto escrito, como tampoco lo son el lenguaje gestual y corporal y la interaccion con los participantes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the web is entering a "second phase" -a new, "improved" Web version 2.0. But how justified is this perception?
Abstract: Within 15 years the web has grown from a group work tool for scientists at CERN into a global information space with more than a billion users. Currently, it is both returning to its roots as a read/write tool and also entering a new, more social and participatory stage. These trends have led to a feeling that the web is entering a ‘second phase’ – a new, ‘improved’ Web version 2.0. But how justified is this perception?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose five axioms: (1) social media are always a function of the technology, culture, and government of a particular country or context; (2) local events rarely remain local; (3) global events are likely to be (re)interpreted locally; (4) creative consumers’ actions and creations are also dependent on technology; and (5) technology is historically dependent.

TL;DR: This paper addresses a framework to harvest ambient geospatial information, and resulting hybrid capabilities to analyze it to support situational awareness as it relates to human activities.
Abstract: Social media generated from many individuals is playing a greater role in our daily lives and provides a unique opportunity to gain valuable insight on information flow and social networking within a society. Through data collection and analysis of its content, it supports a greater mapping and understanding of the evolving human landscape. The information disseminated through such media represents a deviation from volunteered geography, in the sense that it is not geographic information per se. Nevertheless, the message often has geographic footprints, for example, in the form of locations from where the tweets originate, or references in their content to geographic entities. We argue that such data conveys ambient geospatial information, capturing for example, people’s references to locations that represent momentary social hotspots. In this paper we address a framework to harvest such ambient geospatial information, and resulting hybrid capabilities to analyze it to support situational awareness as it relates to human activities. We argue that this emergence of ambient geospatial analysis represents a second step in the evolution of geospatial data availability, following on the heels of volunteered geographical information.
