“…In terms of the controlled natural language used in the e-DSA Editor, the evaluators provided additional feedback about extending its expressiveness. We are taking this feedback into account while evolving our current prototype implementation towards a more user-friendly editing and the use of a complete natural language (see, e.g., work in [26]). Closing, we believe that there are key R&D opportunities in the space of e-DSA authoring in terms of how to create suitable wizards to simplify the overall e-DSA management process and build GUIs that are simple to use to a broad set of end-users.…”

Web interactions usually require the exchange of personal and confidential information for a variety of purposes, including enabling business transactions and the provisioning of services. A key issue affecting these interactions is the lack of trust and control on how data are going to be used and processed by the entities that receive it. In the traditional world, this problem is addressed using contractual agreements, those are signed by the involved parties, and law enforcement. This could be done electronically as well but, in addition to the trust issue, there is currently a major gap between the definition of legal contracts regulating the sharing of data, and the software infrastructure required to support and enforce them. How to enable organisations to provide more automation in this process? How to ensure that legal contracts can be actually enforced by the underlying IT infrastructure? How to enable end-users to express their preferences and constraints within these contracts? This article describes our R&D work to make progress towards addressing this gap via the usage of electronic Data Sharing Agreements (e-DSA). The aim is to share our vision, discuss the involved challenges and stimulate further research and development in this space. We specifically focus on a cloud scenario because it provides a rich set of use cases involving M. Casassa-Mont interactions and information sharing among multiple stakeholders, including users and service providers.

“…Privacy is regarded as the most important issue faced during the barriers. Scholars propose that data sharing is crucial in many aspects of nowadays life, from economy to leisure, from public administration to healthcare (Conti et al, 2014). To enhance acceptable policies, policy makers need to consider aspects and components as well as issues of e-health policy (Ghazvini and Shukur, 2013).…”

Purpose -This paper aims to provide clear domain knowledge and recent progresses on electronic healthcare (e-healthcare). Design/methodology/approach -In this paper, the authors use citation analysis to describe the trends of study on e-health with the help of CiteSpace II, a software for visualizing citation-based analysis. By analyzing the 2,752 publications and their citation data in ISI database, the authors proposed renewable figures and tables on ranking critical people, institutes, keywords and journals. Through the most influential articles given by CiteSpace, the authors can grasp the main direction in e-health researches. Furthermore, the authors analyzed the literature at e-health literacy as a case, to better understand the development of research viewpoints. Findings -Through the analysis, the authors found that e-health is a multi-disciplinary research field and the major research about it has changed. During the early stage, health information quality on the Internet dominates. Gradually, the role of information technology (IT) becomes more important. The authors also found that some researchers, recently, have proposed the effects of IT on e-health literacy which can then improve the ability to use health information on the Internet. Research limitations/implications -This paper has some research limitations, such as using an ISI database with most English publications. The future research may be conducted for collecting local publications data in China. It also has some implications. Based on the results, the authors claimed that IT may significantly improve people's healthcare variance, e.g. e-health literacy. It is necessary to build new IT-based healthcare theories. Practical implications -This paper also has some practical implications. Practitioners and institute may easily come to know which are the hot topics, top institutes and tendencies in the e-healthcare field.Social implications -This paper may help practitioners to find common interests with other institutions and societies. Originality/value -This paper reported the status and trend of research in this field visually, and the result will help researchers to do more in-depth research in the future.
