In this paper we present preliminary results of a study of events represented in portions of the Emergency Department (ED) patient record. An advantage to working in such a specific domain is that we can use domain knowledge to reveal events that are not explicitly mentioned in the record. In addition, domain assumptions and constraints can be used to identify or clarify temporal characteristics of events, allowing more precise placement on an event timeline.
This research proposes to study the relationship between audience, context and disclosure in online social network sites. Studying a population of college students, the researchers will use a survey to explore how social maturity, perceived friend network size, and long-term goals affect the identity presented in online social networks. This goal of this analysis is to document a process of identity formation in online social networks. In the model, individuals choose strategies of identity presentation based on notions of in-group awareness, future-selves and social context. This model will be tested with survey methods.
Publishing personal content online raises issues of openness, access and privacy. While these issues have been treated in the literature, a substantial subset is youth-oriented, typically focusing on the potential for negative outcomes from such disclosure and youths' presumed lack of awareness of the consequences of their publication activities. Recent research suggests, however, that adults also demonstrate a lack of discretion in their own publication activities. Through examining a particular class of content -adult publication of photos depicting "babies in bathtubs," and other candid and bare moments, to Flickr, a Web-based photo sharing and management application -this study aims to quantify and describe issues of openness, access and privacy to raise awareness that these issues are not limited to generational distinctions, by 1) characterizing images across multiple topical domains from two contextual perspectives, contributor and user, and 2) identifying associations between these image characteristics and contributor behaviors and profiles. The primary assumption motivating this research exercise is that online indiscretion is a youth problem, but in fact, it is broader than that; the collective "we" are all subject to failing to meet the assumed societal norms for deliberate or accidental privacy and discretion when publishing personal content to the Web. IntroductionThe populist emergence of the read/write Web has enabled everyone and anyone to be a publisher. Flickr, an online photo sharing service, is one example of this emergence of user-generated content and the potential, depending on user preferences, for universal access and subsequent loss of transparency between private and public lives. Via Flickr, the personal archive is made available online, with the effect that the family photo album, once confined to living rooms, is brought into the equivalent of the town square. A segment of recent literature on privacy and the use of social technologies by youth, both in academic and popular discourse, has been from the admonitory perspective of parents and concerned others. It has focused on the potential negative outcomes from online, public disclosure of private information, including personal identifiers and potentially embarrassing photos, and the presumed lack of youths' awareness of the persistence and discoverability of these elements. But other recent revelations in research and the press have shown that many adults are perhaps not as aware of these professed privacy concerns themselves and, in fact, frequently post and disclose photos and information that may result in unintended public disclosure. A recent study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that 39% of teens restrict access to photos posted online most of the time compared to 34% of adults; 38%-24% of adults restrict access sometimes; and 21%-39% never. .
