Drafting Informational Privacy Laws: Information Science Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
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 develop a systematic definition of PII and then identify five generic acts of handling it. A flow model is utilized to build complete scenarios where this type of information is involved. The results are applied to the proposed USA Personal Data Privacy and Security Act of 2005 in order to build a basic framework for drafting legal texts in the context of information privacy.
