IAC21: Shedding Light on Dark Patterns.pdfNoreen Whysel
You’ve been there before. You thought you could trust someone with a secret. You thought it would be safe, but found out later that they blabbed to everyone. Or maybe they didn’t share it, but the way they used it felt manipulative. You gave more than you got and it didn’t feel fair. But now that it’s out there, do you even have control anymore?
Ok. Now imagine that person was your supermarket. Or your bank. Or your boss.

Presentation on the role of information architects in improving diversity and inclusion of underrepresented topics in Wikipedia, given at the 2017 Information Architecture Summit in Vancouver on March 25, 2017.
Wikipedia is the world's largest encyclopedia; however, fair representation of notable, but underrepresented people and topics remains a major concern. In response, the Wikimedia Foundation has supported many grassroots efforts including Women in Red, Art+Feminism, Wiki Loves Pride, Black Lunch Table and AfroCROWD, among others, to improve discovery of these topics.
This presentation offered an overview of current efforts to diversify the information available on Wikipedia. Learn how we can use our Information Architecture skills and Wikimedia tools to improve the findability and representation of valuable, but missing information, and start contributing to the topics you care about.

Pinterest as Digital Archive, IA Summit 2016, AtlantaNoreen Whysel
Worldwide, people are increasingly accessing digital content within social media applications. To survive, it is essential for organizations in the fields of journalism, publishing, research, libraries, archives and other providers of deep content to incorporate social media as a content delivery method, not just for outreach and marketing campaigns.
My work at Architecture_MPS goes a step further in using social media, Pinterest in particular, as a front end interface for the organization’s resource repository, organizing content and driving users to our digital assets. At the same time, this mechanism promotes discovery via links to external content such as books, conferences, exhibitions and articles related to our research interests, serving as a "webliography" for further research on these topics.
DH Week Workshop: Pinterest as ExhibitionNoreen Whysel
Pinterest offers a unique way to display and interrelate digital assets with a wider world of interconnected materials and activity. Learn how UK-based research group, Architecture_MPS promotes its journal articles, conferences and online resources by exposing it’s relationships with other research, exhibitions, and imagery. As part of our engagement with scholarly communication AMPS provides current listings supported by additional materials relevant to both academics and discipline information professionals. Since 2014, we have used Pinterest for curating collections of images and articles on topics related to our published journal articles. The boards function as a resource guide or reference to current books, films, exhibits, conferences, lectures and competitions related to the AMPS remit.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Preserving Performance at DHWEEK 2018
1. Preserving Performance
Archiving to Curate, Promote,
and Honor Your Work & Legacy
DH Week | February 7, 2018
Tanya Elder and Noreen Whysel
American Theatre Archive Project
2. THE “PROBLEM”
Artists and theatre companies are skilled at producing and
promoting their shows and seasons, but need knowledgeable support to
save and curate the records of their work.
3.
4. WHY ARCHIVE?
The American Theatre Archive Project (ATAP)
seeks to help artists and theatre companies:
• Curate their stories
• Honor their legacies
• Establish protocols to capture and safeguard their
work for posterity
• Increase their visibility and attractiveness to patrons
and grant funders
5. WHO ARE WE?
ATAP is a collaboration of archivists,
dramaturgs, and academics who
support theatre makers in saving their
work as they make it for the benefit of
staff, associated artists, scholars,
patrons, and the public.
6. ARCHIVISTS THINK ABOUT:
• Archival evidence and principles
• Appraisal and analysis of records
• Retention schedules and collection policies
• Arrangement and description of materials
• Long-term preservation issues
• Public access
• Staffing and training
(So you don’t have to)
7. ATAP HELPS YOU THINK ABOUT:
• How to begin or continue archiving your work
• Separating the wheat from the chaff -- what should
be saved and what can be discarded?
• How production-related materials contribute to
legacy
• Considering long-term preservation strategies (e.g.
keep or donate to a repository?)
• Whether and how to make history available to the
public
10. PRODUCTION RECORDS
• Production history: Are projects and seasons
documented? How? Where?
• Scripts and dramaturgy: Where are the script
versions, dramaturgical materials, and programs?
• Designs: Where are set models, costumes, props?
• Photos: Who has production or event images? Who has
the rights? How are they maintained?
• Electronic files: What file formats are used and where
are they stored?
• How do all of the above support your mission
and goals as artists?
11. ARCHIVES VS. RECORDS MANAGEMENT
ATAP examines:
• protocol(s) around
retention
• Policies and practices
that ensure items are
kept
• Establishing standards
for materials to be
retained
BOTTOM LINE: A clear retention schedule allows artists
and theatres to be unafraid to throw things away and to
focus on records worth preserving.
14. SHARING
Are there elements of the collection that you
would like to make available to the public?
• To your audience?
• To the community?
• To theatre historians/scholars?
Would you like to create an online presence
with your materials?
15. SOME BENEFITS OF PUBLIC ACCESS
• Enables permanent or pop-up displays of holdings
for public enjoyment.
• Allows practitioners and researchers to generate new
art and scholarship.
22. WHAT ATAP PROVIDES
• Introduction to archiving
• Survey of records and interviews with artistic
collaborators
• Assessment of records and recommendations for
establishing an archive
• Workshop on archival practices
• Suggested resources (e.g. grant opportunities, supply
sources, consultants, cloud services)
BOTTOM LINE: Together, we develop concrete
steps to organize your artifacts and records for
posterity.
23. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO GET STARTED:
Physical materials:
• Archival boxes (banker’s or manuscript size)
• Acid-free folders
• Mylar or polypropylene sleeves
• Pencils
Digital storage:
• Computer drive
• External hard drive
• Cloud-based repositories
• Photo, sound and video websites
• Github for computer code
24. THE BIG PICTURE – ATAP’S GOALS
• To preserve records of current theatrical process and
product for future generations.
• To leverage your legacy to maintain and promote current
and future work.
• To promote a better understanding of theatre as a vital
element of cultural history.
• To encourage scholarly research in contemporary
American theatre.
• To increase funding for establishing and maintaining
theatre archives.
• To support collaborations among practitioners,
archivists, and scholars.
