Drafting Informational Privacy Laws: Information Science Perspective
In this paper, we describe an information science approach to drafting information privacy laws. Information scientists can contribute to the design of these laws not as mere technical experts, but rather as collaborators in design and construction of the legal text. Specifically, this paper concentrates on rules governing the handling of personal identifiable information (PII). First, we devel...

متن کاملInformational laws of genome structures
In recent years, the analysis of genomes by means of strings of length k occurring in the genomes, called k-mers, has provided important insights into the basic mechanisms and design principles of genome structures. In the present study, we focus on the proper choice of the value of k for applying information theoretic concepts that express intrinsic aspects of genomes. The value k = lg2(n), wh...
