Trust in ICT 2

1 Scope
This Technical Paper focuses on what is the expected and hopefully the knowledge society. It analyses the
impacts of the development of digital technologies, the social effects of online connectivity, and the trends
of the new ecosystem. It recognizes that the information and communication technology (ICT) is a centre of
wind of changes. The future knowledge society will be built on the basis of the ICT infrastructure since it is
totally an artificial society created by humans. The ICT infrastructure is not only for the delivery of digital
data, but it also provides the eco-platform to share data, information, and knowledge. The new innovative
technologies will be developed for the future open and collaborative knowledge society. Therefore, this
Technical Paper explains the minimization of the unexpected risks and the maximization of the survivability
of the future knowledge society.

2 Definitions
A number of terms in this Technical Paper with definitions are being used to describe knowledge society and
social media.
2.1 data serialization: It is the process of translating data structures or an object state into a format that can
be stored (for example, in a file or memory buffer, or transmitted across a network connection link) and
reconstructed later in the same format or in another computer environment.
2.2 explicit knowledge: It is knowledge that can be readily articulated, codified, accessed and verbalized.
2.3 extensible markup language (XML): It is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding
documents in a format which is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is defined by the W3C
specification [17].
2.4 fintech: Financial technology, also known as FinTech, is a line of business based on using software to
provide financial services.
2.5 hypertext markup language (HTML): It is the standard markup language used to create web pages. Along
with cascading style sheets (CSS), and JavaScript, HTML is a technology, used by most websites to create
visually engaging web pages, user interfaces for web applications, and user interfaces for mobile applications
[18].

2.6 linked open data (LoD): It is the linked data that is open content. The linked data describes a method of
publishing structured data so that it can be interlinked and become more useful through semantic queries.
It enables data from different sources to be connected and queried.

2.7 markup language: A markup language is a system for annotating a document in a way that is syntactically
distinguishable from the text. Some markup languages, such as the widely used hypertext markup language
(HTML), have predefined presentation semantics with meaning that their specification prescribes how to
present the structured data.
2.8 metadata: Metadata is "data about data". Two types of metadata exist: structural
metadata and descriptive metadata. Structural metadata is data about the containers of data. Descriptive
metadata uses individual instances of application data or data content.

2.9 resource description framework (RDF): It is originally designed as a metadata data model. It has come to
be used as a general method for conceptual description or modelling of information that is implemented
in web resources, using a variety of syntax notations and data serialization formats. It is defined by the W3C
specification [49].
2.10 smishing: It is a compound of 'phishing' and short message service (SMS). SMiShing (SMS phishing) is a
type of phishing attack where mobile phone users receive text messages containing a website hyperlink.
2.11 social graph: It is a graph that depicts personal relations of Internet users. The social graph has been
referred to as "the mapping of everybody and how they are related".
