SGER: Informed Consent Online

该项目侧重于在线互动和社区中的知情同意。知情同意是指个人应该被告知参与特定活动的危害和好处的原则，并且应该对他们是否参与有发言权。尽管知情同意在万维网上的交易中很重要（例如，在培养信任的气氛和保护个人隐私方面），很少有人注意到特定的Web编程工具如何增强或阻碍其存在。该研究项目将1）制定标准和指标，用于评估特定Web设计中的知情同意程度和种类，2）确定有前途的方法，用于开发新的基于Web的编程语言，以支持用户随时获得知情同意。

This project focuses on informed consent in online interactions and communities. Informed consent refers to the principle that individuals should be informed about the harms and benefits of participating in a particular activity, and should have a say in whether they participate or not. Despite the importance of informed consent during transactions on the World Wide Web (e.g., in fostering a climate of trust and protecting individuals' privacy), little attention has been paid to the ways in which particular Web programming tools enhance or impede its existence. This research project will 1) develop criteria and metrics for assessing the degree and kind of informed consent available in particular Web designs and 2) identify promising approaches for the development of new Web-based programming languages that would support the ready availability of informed consent for users.
