Unreferenced date February 2010 Linguistic transparency is a phrase which is used in multiple, overlapping subjects in the fields of linguistics and the philosophy of language. It has both Norm philosophy normative and descriptive senses. Normative Normatively, the phrase can be used to describe the effort to suit one s rhetoric to the widest possible audience, without losing relevant information in the process. Advocates of normative linguistic transparency often argue that linguistic opacity is dangerous to a democracy. These critics point out that jargon is deliberately employed in government and business. It encrypts morally suspect information in order to dull reaction to it for example, the phrase collateral damage to refer to the manslaughter of innocents. One play upon this view was by William Strunk, Jr. and E. B. White , who in the Elements of Style ruled that the writer ought to eschew obfuscation . The Plain Language Movement is an example of people who advocate using clearer, common language within the wider academic community. Professor at New York University Alan Sokal , perpetrator of the Sokal hoax , is another noteworthy example of an advocate of linguistic transparency. Writer and political philosopher George Orwell was a proponent of this view, which he captured in the landmark essay, Politics and the English Language . Orwell wrote a novel, Nineteen Eighty Four 1984 , about a dystopia n future controlled through a politically crafted language called Newspeak . Newspeak is a language that is linguistically transparent in the descriptive sense, but not in the normative one. Comedian George Carlin has famously parodied the phenomenon in his stand up comedy. The approach may sound like common sense, but it faces the difficulty of figuring out how to communicate complex and uncommon ideas in a popular way.

Transparency is a World Trade Organization principle stipulating that a country s policies and regulations affecting foreign trade should be clearly communicated to its trading partners. For example, out of recognition that sanitary and phytosanitary measures may sometimes deliberately be unclear, arbitrary, or capricious, recent international trading agreements have provisions calling on countries to notify others, in advance, about any measures that could affect trade, to fully explain them, and to provide a means for commenting on them.

No footnotes date February 2011 IT cost transparency is a new category of information technology management software and systems and that enables enterprise IT organizations to model and track the total cost to deliver and maintain the IT Services they provide to the business. It is increasingly a task of management accounting . IT cost transparency solutions integrate financial information such as labor, software licensing costs, hardware acquisition and depreciation, data center facilities charges, from general ledger systems and combines that with operational data from ticketing, monitoring, asset management, and project portfolio management systems to provide a single, integrated view of IT costs by service, department, GL line item and project. In addition to tracking cost elements, IT Cost Transparency tracks utilization, usage and operational performance metrics in order to provide a measure of value or ROI. Costs, budgets, performance metrics and changes to data points are tracked over time to identify trends and the impact of changes to underlying cost drivers in order to help managers address the key drivers in escalating IT costs and improve planning. IT cost transparency combines elements of activity based costing, business intelligence, operational monitoring and performance dashboards. It provides the system on which to implement ITIL v3 ITIL v3 Financial Management guidelines to assist with ITSM Financial Management for IT services and is closely related to IT Service Management .

A transparency , also known in industrial settings as a viewfoil or foil , is a thin sheet of transparency optics transparent flexible material, typically cellulose acetate , onto which figures can be drawn. These are then placed on an overhead projector for display to an audience. Many companies and small organizations use a system of projectors and transparencies in meetings and other groupings of people, though this system is being largely replaced by LCD projector s and interactive whiteboards . Creation of transparencies Transparencies can be created in one of two ways. First, a laser printer can be connected to a computer, which is loaded with a cartridge of celulose acetate sheets. An image or document is then created within the computer , though images are prevalent due to text being illegible at certain distances f rom a projection, and then formatted to be printed. From there, the printer is engaged and the document printed onto the sheet of acetate. Some people prefer to test the transparency before sending it out to the person requesting it. Secondly, some black and white or color copiers are able to print onto, or can be configured to handle, acetate sheets. These are usually toner based copying machines, as inkjet based technology is not yet capable of printing on acetate sheets. A person may place a document or a book on the surface of the copying machine and make one or several copies onto acetate, if there are simultaneous meetings or if another company or organization wants a copy. Uses for transparencies Uses for transparencies are as varied as the organizations that use them.

In telecommunication s, transparency can refer to The property of an entity that allows another entity to pass through it without altering either of the entities. The property that allows a transmission system or channel communications channel to accept, at its input, unmodified user information , and deliver corresponding user information at its output , unchanged in form or information content. The user information may be changed internally within the transmission system, but it is restored to its original form prior to the output without the involvement of the user.

Declarative Referential Integrity DRI is one of the techniques in the SQL database programming language to ensure data integrity. Meaning in SQL main Foreign key A table called the child table can refer to a column or a group of columns in another table the parent table by using a foreign key . The referenced column s in the parent table must be under a unique constraint, such as a primary key . Also, self references are possible not fully implemented in MS SQL Server though ref cite web url http support.microsoft.com kb 321843 en us title Error message 1785 occurs when you create a FOREIGN KEY constraint that may cause multiple cascade paths last Microsoft Support first publisher microsoft.com date 2007 02 11 accessdate 2009 01 24 ref . On inserting a new row into the child table, the relational database management system RDBMS checks if the entered key value exists in the parent table. If not, no insert is possible. It is also possible to specify DRI actions on UPDATE and DELETE, such as CASCADE forwards a change delete in the parent table to the child tables , NO ACTION if the specific row is referenced, changing the key is not allowed or SET NULL SET DEFAULT a changed deleted key in the parent table results in setting the child values to NULL or to the DEFAULT value if one is specified . Product specific meaning In Microsoft SQL Server the term DRI also applies to the assigning of permissions to users on a database object.

In data compression and psychoacoustics , transparency is the ideal result of lossy data compression . If a lossy compressed result is perception perceptually indistinguishable from the uncompressed input, then the compression can be declared to be transparent. In other words, transparency is the situation where compression artifact s are nonexistent or imperceptible. A transparency threshold is a term used to describe a given value at which transparency is reached. It is commonly used to describe compressed data bitrates. For example, the transparency threshold for .MP3 to .WAV audio is said to be around 192kbs 44.1 kHz 44.1 kHz MP3. Citation needed date February 2012 This means that when MP3 is playing back at 192kbs 44.1 kHz it is indistinguishable from the original WAV, and transparent to compression. Transparency, like sound or video quality, is subjective. It depends most on the listener s familiarity with artifacts, and to a lesser extent, the compression method, bit rate used, input characteristics, and the listening viewing conditions & equipment. Despite this, sometimes general consensus is formed for what compression options should provide transparent results for most people on most equipment. Due to the subjectivity and the changing nature of compression, recording, and playback technology, such opinions should be considered only as rough estimates rather than established fact. Judging transparency can be difficult due to Observer effect observer bias , in which subjective like dislike of a certain compression methodology emotionally influences his or her judgment. This bias is commonly referred to as placebo , although this use is slightly different from the medical use of the term.

Original research article date November 2009 Intelligent Collaboration Transparency ICT is an application sharing framework for sharing familiar single user tools applications for collaboration purposes without modifying their source code. At the user level, unmodified heterogeneous applications can be shared and interoperated. At the system level, the application sharing middleware is able to understand the behavior of the applications being shared. The main assumption underlying this work is that allowing collaborators to use familiar single user tools for cooperative work can reduce development, deployment, and learning costs while improving individual and group productivity. History The project is led by Professor Du Li and started in 2001 at Texas A&M university. Its first significant paper was published in the ACM CSCW 2002 Conference. In the system prototype, heterogeneous single user editors such as Microsoft Word and GVim were shared to edit the same document. As in early application sharing systems, generality of the technical approach was pursued at this stage. A machine learning approach was explored to understand the editors behavior such that window events can be translated between different editors for synchronization. Operational transformation was used for optimistic concurrency control, which allows any user to edit any part of the shared document at any time. However, due to engineering difficulties in understanding application behavior from external, only a small subset of the original editor functionality is allowed. At a later stage 2004 , a diffing based approach was taken to specialize the framework in the domain of group editing . The result was presented in an ACM CSCW 2006 paper. The users are still allowed to edit a shared document concurrently with heterogeneous single user editors without being constrained. A diff algorithm is called to derive edit scripts at each site.
