Problem of access to data.... What about the Web?

= illusion of citizen control (accountability?) = valuable traces of the communication about the political work = an another kind of public archive of the politician's schedule = useful to analyse political communication strategies = by comparison with the Web feedbacks

1) The tool for the rebuilding of the agenda by its echo on the web 2) The tool of textual comparison between the original PDA, and web feedback agenda 3) Search the entire Web via Google and not only predefined web site 4) The effective evaluation of the prototype

Q? 1: Is it possible to rebuilt a personnal agenda from the web without using a reference basis for asking questions? Digging up the Web and rebuilt events just using a name and keywords...? Q? 2: Interpret the lack of feedbacks ? (evaluation) Q? 3: Risk of producing a dangerous tool for civil liberties and respect for privacy ? (computer ethics)
