Big Data Externalities – the BYTE Case StudiesBYTE Project
This document discusses the BYTE project which aims to address societal externalities associated with big data use. The project will produce a research roadmap and recommendations, involve relevant stakeholders to identify challenges through case studies, and disseminate findings. Case studies will explore externalities in various domains including environmental, energy, and health data. Both positive externalities like efficiencies and innovation, and negative externalities like privacy concerns and outdated legislation are discussed. Health case studies found improvements in diagnosis and treatment but also reluctance to share data due to legal and ethical constraints.
The document summarizes a workshop on big data technologies and applications held in Lyon on September 11, 2014. It discusses the evolution of big data technologies, analytics applications, emerging needs and trends, including the increasing importance of data interpretability and security concerns. Examples of industry applications like real-time prescriptive analytics for gas turbines are provided. The challenges of blending analytics with available computing and emerging needs like abstraction from underlying storage are also outlined.

From Big Data to Banality of EvilBYTE Project
This document discusses big data and some of the opportunities and challenges it presents. It covers topics like how big data involves the collection and analysis of large, diverse datasets to find patterns and correlations. However, it also notes that there are ethical issues to consider regarding how data is collected and used, and models built from data can be wrong and should be viewed critically. The document advocates thinking carefully about how data is applied to individuals given the statistical nature of models.
Big data societal externalitites. Results from the BYTE case studiesBYTE Project
This document summarizes the key findings from several case studies conducted as part of the BYTE project on the societal externalities of big data. It discusses case studies in the areas of healthcare, culture, environment, and crisis informatics. For each case study, it identifies the data sources used, provides an overview of the externalities identified, including both benefits like improved services and costs/challenges around issues like privacy, skills needs, and intellectual property rights. It finds that while big data can enable benefits, it also poses risks that must be addressed through responsible and ethical practices.
This document outlines Millbrook Minerals' plan to map and develop industrial mineral occurrences in Cuba. The project involves georeferencing historical maps of 654 deposits, digitizing the locations, and performing network analysis to identify targets suitable for extraction and transport. Key steps include compiling deposit data, creating a geodatabase, analyzing infrastructure connections, and modeling transport routes to ports for export. The goal is to utilize improved US-Cuba relations to explore opportunities in Cuba's decorative building stone industry.
The document summarizes the process of collecting and processing LiDAR data from aircraft for geospatial applications. Key steps include planning flights to cover a project area, flying the aircraft equipped with a laser scanner and GPS, processing raw laser and GPS data to determine point locations, extracting useful data, ensuring accuracy by inspecting overlaps between flight lines, and delivering the final data products to clients.
This document discusses several legal issues related to big data, including intellectual property rights, contract law and licensing, privacy and data protection, due process, liability, and jurisdictional problems. It notes that big data raises issues around rights clearing for copyrighted data, outdated exemptions, legal fragmentation across jurisdictions, enforceability of clickwrap licenses, definitions of personal data, ensuring transparency and auditing of decision-making logic, assigning liability in converged cloud services, and managing multiple applicable laws across jurisdictions. The document argues that harmonization of laws may help address some of the jurisdictional problems with applying legal frameworks to large-scale, multi-jurisdictional uses of big data.

The local Bazaar has also grown to be
one of Turkey’s largest markets for leather
goods, jewelry, and oriental rugs. Only the
Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is bigger.
The entire town has been transformed
into a center for tourists, with access to
Ephesus and the entire Ionian coast.
Ionian Greeks settled this part of Asia
Minor as early as the 10th-century B.C.
They founded cities around the finest
natural harbors in the Mediterranean,
and rapidly became an important com-
mercial zone.
These Ionian Greeks made important
contributions to the commerce and
culture of the Aegean region. In fact,
many of the earliest Greek philosophers
and thinkers lived here along the Ionian
coast, and not in mainland Greece.
The conflict that led to the Greek-
Persian Wars also began here. The
Greeks resisted the encroachments of the
Persian Emperor Darius, and later his
son, Xerxes. When Athens and mainland
Greece supported their cousins against
Persia, the conflict became general, and
ended only when the Persians failed to
subdue the Greek cities.
Smyrna may be the birthplace of the
poet Homer. Since Homer’s Iliad is
about the siege of Troy, it is significant
that Smyrna is little more than 100
miles from ancient Troy. He was cer-
tainly familiar with the local tales and
legends of the epic siege, on which he
based his work.
East of Smyrna was Sardis, capital of
the kingdom of Lydia. The first metal
coins were probably minted here. Lydia
conquered Ephesus and established itself
as a regional power.
Pergamum was once known for a huge
altar honoring Zeus. The altar was discov-
ered by German archaeologists a century
ago, and is displayed in a Berlin museum
today. Pergamum also had one of the
greatest libraries of antiquity, with more
than 200,000 volumes. The only greater
library was at Alexandria in Egypt.
One of the ancient world’s medical
centers was the Asclepeium there,
known for healthy spring water, massage,
mud baths, and herbal cures. The great
2nd-century physician Galen was a
native of Pergamum.
Ephesus temporarily replaced Smyrna as
the commercial capital of Asia Minor until
its river port silted up in the 3rd-century.
Another claim to fame was the cult of
Artemis at Ephesus. A huge temple was

example of Ottoman woodwork.

It was also used for public meetings of

display 12,000 scrolls in niches, which
protected them from the humidity.
The Temples of Domitian and Hadrian are
impressive, and the Great Theater (which is
still in use) seats 25,000 spectators.
Harbor Street – also known as the
Arcadian Way – connected the port
district with the center of town.
Beautiful colonnades on both sides
and marble pavement made a dazzling
first impression on visiting dignitaries.
It was one of the rare ancient streets
to be lit by lamps at night.
Some distance away, you can see the
ruins of the massive Temple of Artemis,
which was several times larger than the
Parthenon. There had been temples here
as early as the 7th century B.C.; this one

Even in its abandoned state, Ephesus
remains an awe-inspiring city, in an
amazing setting. The Ionians lived well
and wisely. Even those who live in great
luxury today must tip their hats to these
imaginative people.
