I wrote a post exploring similar themes a little while ago - <a href="http://alchemicalmusings.org/2006/03/12/saints-in-the-church-of-writely/" rel="nofollow">Saints in the Church of Writely</a>, although I don't arrive at quite the same recommendations as you. We don't even have a signifier for 'freedom of data', and I that the free culture movement is in danger of being outflanked. As for the ownership of data, I am afraid that information doesn't obey conservation laws, and there is little we can do to keep it in the bag... This is a separate, but related topic, which I begin to explore <a href="http://ccnmtl.columbia.edu/draft/jonah/threatnyouth/html/threatnyouth_permanentrecord.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> (and in more <a href="http://studyplace.ccnmtl.columbia.edu/Members/jonah/papers/bioport" rel="nofollow">detail</a>). BTW, as programmers there is something we can do about this - <a href="http://microapps.org" rel="nofollow">write our own mashups</a> (the services, that is), and quell some of the euphoria around free of charge, 3rd party, web services. peace, /Jonah Hear, hear.

I wrote a post exploring similar themes a little while ago – Saints in the Church of Writely, although I don’t arrive at quite the same recommendations as you.

As for the ownership of data, I am afraid that information doesn’t obey conservation laws, and there is little we can do to keep it in the bag… This is a separate, but related topic, which I begin to explore here (and in more detail).
