Subject: RE: [chairs] Who needs OASIS any more?
David You may have missed our Open Government webinar recently? We
discussed this very issue, amongst other aspects of Open Gov, and I suggested
that dumping large amounts of data on the Net was not the best way of achieving
the intended goals. It leaves things open to mis-interpretation and mis-use plus
will make it increasingly hard for Joe Public to find what they want. We are
considering the way forward after our webinar but one thought is that there is
scope for a TC to set some rules for profiling Gov’t data. Most Gov’t data
will be in some shape or form defined in legislation and therefore should not
be open to interpretation, so capturing and publishing those definitions alongside
the data would make the whole process much more effective. As an adjunct to this Peter and I have been talking for a while
about the need for a TC to take forward the CEN eGov Share protocol which is much
about the same space. Usual problem in all this is getting enough buy-in to scope and set-up
a TC. Maybe we should post something on the TC Discussion List to see what the
interest is? John From: David RR Webber
(XML) [mailto:david@drrw.info] Thought I'd throw this rant out there - given recent developments
and initiatives around us. My excuse is it's summer time, its hot, and we're all cranky. But having said all this - perhaps we are well positioned to do
all this in any case? And our excellent track record hopefully gives us basis for
encouragement and confidence for the community around us who are our ultimate
customers. Of course - as an organization - setting a road map and then
working towards that overall is something the board coordinates - so I thought
it worthwhile to know what my fellow chairs are seeing two or three years out
from now? Thanks, DW |
