Re: public relations and press relations to futher cause of L(O)D

Greetings. Following up on the postscript, some more information for interested colleagues:
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_market 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_analysis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_research 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_information

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_information 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficient-market_hypothesis

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_market_efficiency

 
In theory, over 7000 market research companies (http://www.quirks.com/directory/sourcebook/) have had increasingly available Web-based data, non-personally identifiable data, bulk data including about demographics and trends, to purchase for generating reports for their customers, businesses, banks, investors and stock market traders.
 
Clarifying, the public should want those market research companies, as well as market analysts employed across industry, to be able to purchase and utilize Web-based data to provide their customers, businesses, banks, investors and stock market traders, with reports with which to make well-informed and rational decisions with, though each individual should too be well-informed in their decisions, as consumers, and to be able to opt out of data harvesting or to find products with their preferred data policies.

 

These topics are distinct from topics pertaining to the state and state actors, in a number of important ways. Differences can be listed or entire papers written contrasting the two topics.

 

People interested can explore: Has the overall economy or any economic sectors been advantaged as a result of the Web, information marketplaces and Web-enhanced market research and analysis? How do information marketplaces, the well-informedness of businesses, bankers, investors and stock market traders pertain to the economic indices which might interest folks?

 

 

 

Kind regards,

Greetings. To that there exists no way to change the status quo, interestingly, there exists at least one such hypothesis. The hypothesis includes that a portion of each Web users’ ISP bill could be automatically distributed to Web content providers and Web service providers based upon the distribution(s) of usage, consumption or, otherwise phrased, ratings. The hypothesis described intends to empower Web users and in traditional ways, as customers.


 

Presently, the most popular websites are listed at http://www.alexa.com/topsites and, in addition to directly distributing sums of portions of users’ ISP bills as per sums of users’ consumption, there exist theoretical functions which could shape distribution curves, for instance to route more money towards individuals, groups and small businesses to incentivize various startups, for instance bloggers, music bands or groups starting or scaling magazines.

 

The indicated hypothesis resembles traditional capitalism and describes money flowing from consumers towards producers in ways proportional to consumption, to ratings, or as per some function(s) of consumption or ratings to optimize economies. Telecoms and ISP’s invest in the telecommunication infrastructure and the indicated hypothesis describes invigorating the content infrastructure, the stimulation of innovation, of new products and websites, competition for customers and ratings, the opening of new niches, the facilitation of market entry for new participants, and the enhancement of sustainability for a wider interval of scales.

 

For content and service providers, revenue maximization would still suggest advertising-based and data harvesting models atop ratings-based revenue through ISP’s, however, though enhanced sustainability for a wider interval of scales would entail a greater likelihood of more products in each niche where users could select from competing products for reasons including based upon advertising and data harvesting terms and conditions.

 

Summarily, there does exist at least one means of changing the current state of affairs, albeit a theoretical one, a hypothesis with regard to economic models of the Web, pertaining to the flows of monies between consumers, producers, advertisers, and other knowledge economy participants. The status quo can be phrased as an emergent phenomenon of the current economic model where Web businesses most often or nearly always obtain revenue from advertisers, advertising networks, and from the sale of harvested and processed data. The hypothesis described intends to empower Web users and in traditional ways, as customers.

P.S. Topics indicating knowledge economic advantages to society include that the public should want for each business in each sector, as well as for each investment banker, to have equal access to a selection of high-quality market analysis reports, for organizations producing such reports to purchase data and analytics from Web companies, data which does not personally identify users (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personally_identifiable_information#In_privacy_law), and then to produce and sell products, market analysis reports and analytics, to businesses and to banks resulting in enhanced economies, GDP growth, and job creation.

Are there any companies, non-profit organizations or research institutes that do outreach, PR or building awareness among press, decision-makers and other groups about linked (open) data, the semantic web and related technologies?




I talked to the director Cullen Hoback of the documentary film "Terms and Conditions May Apply" (www.tacma.net) and he commented on the fact that there are no ways to "re-tool" the internet to change the current state of affairs, which entails very little privacy and global surveillance and systemic mining of big data for all the wrong reasons.




LD, the semantic web and open access were an unknown factor for him.




This shows the need for better outreach.
