European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) has launched a guide that classifies Public and Private Partnerships (PPP) into prevention focused, response focused and umbrella PPPs. The 36 recommendations for resilient IT security outlines the need for a common understanding of what constitutes a PPP.

Can you imagine what a flavor looks like? Can you visualize or describe what an apple tastes like? Data visualists David McCandless and Willow Tyrer have explored 1,000 recipes from BBC Food and Epicurious to visualize flavor patterns. The result is a series of visualization of complimentary flavors or infoodgraphics.
Physicians are notoriously slow in implementing electronic health records (EHRs) within their office systems. The government has been feverishly trying to get doctors to use these systems for some time, but despite assurances of security and ultimately, cost savings, some physicians remain skeptical.
Is it really naïve to think two complimentary domains can be described by taxonomies and then mapped? Authors Robert L. Glass and Iris Vessey, in a recent Viewpoints column in IEEE Software published by the IEEE Computer Society, titled, “Naïveté Squared: In Search of Two Taxonomies and a Mapping Between Them” concluded they were naïve. The authors have long thought, there needs to be “a taxonomy of application domains; a taxonomy of solution approaches; and a mapping between the two.” They feel they were naïve because, despite promoting the need for several decades, it hasn’t happened. Or so they think.
I am sure most physicians didn’t decide to go to medical school because they liked technology. Granted and especially recently, younger medical students are entering the field already assimilated to using technology in every aspect of their life so applying it in their daily professional life is no stretch. However, with the many advances in semantic technology and now the shift to ICD 10 coding, which will require more specific coding for reimbursements, physicians can no longer hide in the clinic and let the office manager fend for their selves.
Wouldn’t it be nice if software could identify the contents of a digital image or video? The potential uses are endless -- security, photo library searches, and publishing; just to name a few.
