Cloud-based Copyright Clearance Services
SIPX at Stanford's IT Open House on May 2. The Stanford Intellectual Property Exchange (SIPX) facilitates legitimate access to content by providing a copyright registry, a copyright marketplace exchange, and a copyright clearance service that can connect with third party distribution platforms. SIPX facilitates legitimate access to content.
Today, many obstacles exist in traditional mechanisms for content licensing, commonly resulting in under-utilization of content or copyright piracy. For example, it can be very difficult to locate the appropriate rights holders, or there are often prohibitively high transaction costs involved in getting permission to use content. Used since Spring 2011 at Stanford for print course materials and extended in Spring 2012 quarter to online course materials, the Stanford Intellectual Property Exchange (SIPX) now creates a user-friendly way of clearing rights for both print and online course materials. It will be available for all Stanford courses in Fall 2012.
Media X has supported the Stanford Publish-on-Demand research theme and has hosted the Print on Demand pilot deployment in Wallenberg Hall. A legally trained printer now operates using the Stanford Intellectual Property Exchange (SIPX).
Empowering Digital Self-Determination
The orchestration of personal data has dramatically changed as businesses have become online entities with a broad exposure and individuals have engaged with those services, leaving around their scattered personal data and footprints. In the physical world, data use is highly nuanced and contextual. People use a repetoire of personnas as they interact with a variety different people; the information they share depends on the persona they want to portray in each context. In the digital world, users create different personas by creating different digital identities (e.g., accounts) for various tasks, manually separating the different contexts. We face a new kind of privacy, transparency and accountability.
Join us for an open dialogue among providers and consumers of digital technologies, policy makers, and researchers. Discussions will pursue an understanding of a common good, designing next generation digital services and policy frameworks that to empower individuals and businesses for digital self determination. We aim for insights that encourage trust, increase transparency, and enforce accountability.

Innovation for Measurable Improvements in Knowledge Worker Productivity
This Media X research theme explores innovation for measurable improvement in the productivity of people who work with information. Seven new studies were initiated in June and were described at the January 23 Research Update.
Knowledge is the fuel of technology-based organizations. How that fuel is utilized is the difference between waste heat and rapid acceleration. The competitive arena has been altered. The Internet has levelled the playing field for access to information, and the competitive frontier has shifted to knowledge utilization and creativity. Nevertheless, there is a serious productivity gap between the knowledge that’s available and the way it is used. Like a hole in a bucket, this gap is responsible for significant loss of resources and competitive advantage. Managing knowledge workers requires new tools, methods and insights at all levels.
Preliminary report available on request.
