I came across this article during my usual browser of Digg.
Privacy on the Web
Although the examples are from the US it makes me wonder how much personal information is being stored on the Internet in Australia.
A further question that occurs to me related to the issue of who controls this information about us. It seems that already we have lost the battle to control this.
Maybe the future is with RDF where we can at least have some control about how our information is used.
A further thought occurs to me, in conversation our total communication uses the actual words, gestures, voice inflection, relationships between those involved as well as the physical setting. Putting that conversation on the internet will retain most of those on the original site. However once the words are used during a Mash up of the site, all the context information is lost. Can RDFs put that context back into the information?
