The article evaluates the<br \/>\nimpact of datasets circulating online about real neighborhoods.&nbsp; The three<br \/>\nauthors collected links to 33 sites that make use of &quot;geodemographic&quot;<br \/>\ndata&#8211;income, pollution, average selling price homes, etc.&nbsp; They reduced<br \/>\nthe list to seventeen profiled examples, and from there, zeroed in on four sites<br \/>\nfor extended &quot;case studies.&quot; To conclude, the article offers a set of<br \/>\nimplications for policy, which includes conclusions about screwy data leading to<br \/>\nflawed representations of certain places and accessibility concerns,<br \/>\nnotably&#8211;and repeatedly&#8211;cast in terms of age and economic status (&quot;Those<br \/>\nsections of the population that are financially unable and\/or unwilling (as is<br \/>\nthe case with many older people) to access online sources will be increasingly<br \/>\ndisadvantaged as information availability and society&#8217;s dependence on it<br \/>\nexpands&quot; (37)). <\/p>\n<p>Phenetic urge nods to the taxonomy impulse, the classificatory move.&nbsp;<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s the immediate context:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Allowing for the enormous difficulties involved in &#8216;un-inventing&#8217; IBNIS<br \/>\n  [&#8216;Internet-based Neightbourhood Information Systems&#8217;] (let alone the &#8216;phenetic<br \/>\n  urge&#8217; of which they are so potent a symbol), the core policy issue to come out<br \/>\n  of this report is how best to ensure that the advantages of IBNIS are not<br \/>\n  outweighed by the disadvantages listed above. (36)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Specifically, the disadvantages are much like those I already mentioned: &quot;mis-characterising<br \/>\nlocalities,&quot; &quot;inacurate depiction[s],&quot; &quot;unwarranted &#8216;redlining,&#8217;&quot; and &quot;online<br \/>\nmarginalisation.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ultimately, the concern-as-delivered is over the<br \/>\ndatasets (geodemographic and, perhaps, beyond) representing neighbourhoods on<br \/>\nthe net.&nbsp; A Beckettian critique: &quot;The danger is in the neatness of<br \/>\nidentifications.&quot;&nbsp; IBNIS, their place-identifying data, are a potent symbol<br \/>\nof &quot;phenetic urges.&quot; <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I went about digging around for <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Phenetics\">&quot;phenetic,&quot;<\/a> and found its association with<br \/>\nclusters whose correspondence rests in observable patterns.&nbsp; Near neighbor:<br \/>\nphylogenic: groupings based on known-to-be-inherited traits.&nbsp; I wonder how<br \/>\nthis positions the phenetic urge differently in time.&nbsp; Does this mean that<br \/>\nphenetic urges are always momentary and impulsive or can those observations take<br \/>\nyears?&nbsp; Also, does phenetic classification rely only on observational<br \/>\nmethods (phenomenology, the report of senses, etc.)?&nbsp; Thinking through this<br \/>\nkeeps me at the question about the &quot;urge,&quot; too.&nbsp; Urgency; the urgent-ic<br \/>\nstate.&nbsp; Given that the article is concerned with datasets as they apply to<br \/>\nspaces, I&#8217;m interested in what this might mean for tagging, for the urge to<br \/>\napply a tag.&nbsp; But there&#8217;s more: how do our own tendencies for placing<br \/>\ntexts, let&#8217;s say, in particular intellectual traditions reconcile with these two<br \/>\norientations: phenetic and phylogenic?&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Stopping here.
