I am developing a high-level conceptual map for a research project culminating in a long paper or a student note for a law journal. Going forward the work will probably be the seed for further writing and research. My goal is to create the nexus or the seed pod, which holds the many ideas and concepts that lie at the heart of this work.
The links between the ideas are fleeting, never staying put long enough to solidify into something more solid. Each idea is viable in and of itself. The task now is how the ideas relate to one another under a more cohesive pattern – therein lies the work. These ideas fall under general topics and cover a variety of areas: regulation, control, risk assessment, compliance, due care, security, privacy.
