> One Day Seminar, 24 July 2000
> School of Oriental and African Studies, London
>
>
> Web Databases - Stage Two:
>
> Options and Responsibilities
> for Content Publishers
>
>
> In an ideal world, a web site would be developed carefully
> over a long period of time, with all aspects of technology,
> rights, customer analysis and privacy considered carefully
> in advance. The reality is invariably a sprint to site
> launch, followed by a subsequent period of consolidation.
>
> This day is intended for those who have built a database-
> backed web site or will shortly be launching one. It aims to
> provide a varied analysis of important issues for you to
> consider.
>
> The day divides into two parts: options such as technologies
> to power the back-end of your site, customer analysis, and
> how people retrieve information; and responsibilities such
> as privacy, data protection, and the rights of customers
> over material submitted wittingly or unwittingly by them.
>
> A typical site provider should come away from the meeting
> with an insight into a number of areas they should be
> thinking about; a typical user should come away thinking
> about what they can easily concede when visiting web
> presences.
>
> The two strands will be divided into a morning and afternoon
> session.
>
> Options strand areas:
> * technical aspects of collecting details of users;
> * attempts to control privacy for site visitors;
> * technologies which will make it easier to build 'smart'
> sites.
>
> Responsibilities strand areas:
> * identifiable users and relationship to data protection;
> * territorial issues;
> * intellectual property rights for site users;
> * republishing materials collected from users and other
> sites.
>
>
