Digitalizing Uncertain Information
The paper sketches some initial results from an ongoing project to develop an ontology-based digital form for representing uncertain information. We frame this work as a journey from lower to higher levels of digital maturity across a technology divide. The paper first sets a baseline by describing the basic challenges any project dealing with digital uncertainty faces. It then describes how the project is facing them. It shows firstly how an extensional ontology (such as the BORO Foundational …

MegaCacheX: Towards Cost-Effective Hierarchical Collaborative Content Caching in Emerging Mega-Constellations
Significant latency in global content delivery primarily arises from insufficient terrestrial infrastructure. Deploying space-based content delivery networks within emerging mega-constellations provides an effective means to bridge the digital divide. However, space-based caching faces constraints from physical-layer dynamics, including dynamic topologies, time-varying inter-satellite link conditions, and limited onboard energy. In addition, existing mechanisms often lack fine-grained content c…

Laptop recycling at Sellafield helps to bridge the digital divide
A collaborative laptop recycling scheme, is helping to bridge the digital divide across our local communities.

Wenn mir also noch mal jemand was von Digital Divide und „die alten Menschen, also, über, äh, 50? kennen sich dann nicht so gut aus“ erzählt, der fährt bitte ne Runde im 62er und hört den 70 bis 75jährigen zu, die fachsimpeln, ob lieber Gemini oder ChatGPT und dass es auf jeden Fall aufm Handy installiert ist. Alter Falter!
Aber auch „Ja, denken muss man selber, aber Gemini ist dann so viel schneller, so schnell kannst Du nicht programmieren, also hinschreiben“

Disproportionate Voices: Participation Inequality and Hostile Engagement in News Comments
Digital platforms were expected to foster broad participation in public discourse, yet online engagement remains highly unequal and underexplored. This study examines the digital participation divide and its link to hostile engagement in news comment sections. Analyzing 260 million comments from 6.2 million users over 13 years on Naver News, South Korea's largest news aggregation platform, we quantify participation inequality using the Gini and Palma indexes and estimate hostility levels with a…

Bridging the Digital Divide: Small Language Models as a Pathway for Physics and Photonics Education in Underdeveloped Regions
Limited infrastructure, scarce educational resources, and unreliable internet access often hinder physics and photonics education in underdeveloped regions. These barriers create deep inequities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. This article explores how Small Language Models (SLMs)-compact, AI-powered tools that can run offline on low-power devices, offering a scalable solution. By acting as virtual tutors, enabling native-language instruction, and supporti…
