I am looking to see finding use cases and comparing to best practices

(reminder on mute)

involved in data.gov

<johnlsheridan> doesn't the memo say gov is participative?

... hoping this group can be part. data.gov looks like RDFa
positive.

<johnlsheridan> can you hear me
<johnlsheridan> I'll dial back in
it says he is muted
John: asking around about participants interest.
<tb> Thomas bandholtz is calling from Germany
Adam: already on ETF. wants to help translate techspeak especially for local govts
John: this is consistent with our efforts
Jose: working on a couple of
projects. spending most of time on projects that open gov data
involved.
... we still need to put out W3Cstandards. dealing with
proprietary formats.
... it is complicating the point of open gov data
Joe: are you chartered to look at cataloging gov looking at standards.
Kevin: a lot of agencies dealing
with legacy data.
... how can we aid agencies with this problem set.
we should address those that need 100% solutions for data to be useful vs. those that can just move on with new data.
missed. who is speaking
<josema> we are building a number of transformers, but it's hard and most are adhoc due to how legacy data was archived :(
Brian: Local govt need esp. help on this. this is my interest with outreach to locals.
John: we have similar issue. my experience does not hire those folks
Brian: no money for this work
Joe: talking about just having raw data. and then allow others to overlay documentation.
Brian: lets at least catalog.
how about open sourcing the conversion of gov docs. like recaptcha
?
Joe: it is possible to do PDF things like include embedded xml and named locations.
Daniel: that is not standard practice and does not apply to legacy docs. and adobe looking to Mars Project.
Brian: resources lack and IT lack
is holding folks back.
... human speak is better than geek speak at getting gov folks
to see importance of good data practices
John: is there anyone more to speak?
Thomas: Inspire project
(missed part due to phone and hard to hear)
John: i am on the Inspire
project
... looking to this for implementation.
<sandro> http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ Inspire, Spacial Data Infrastructure
<johnlsheridan> it's all very top down
Thomas: project of mashups with
Google maps ...
... we are publishing more
... from outside of Inspire. see how it can be linked up.
John: some of the problems and
issues related to the law versus what is possible.
... last call for participants.
Todd: has been lurking this
group.
... interested in web standards.
Sandro: personal interest. help provide with tech stuff.
<johnlsheridan> http://blogs.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/digitalengagement/post/2009/09/30/Calling-Open-Data-Developers-We-need-your-help.aspx
John: on issue of linked data.. soft launch of data.gov like service
<sandro> johnlsheridan: We're doing the VERY SOFT launch of the UK equiv of data.gov today. Preview access on request.
John: ask for log in to see
... if you go to link then go to google group
<AdamHarvey> http://groups.google.com/group/uk-government-data-developers/
Vagner: we are developing new stuff for open gov.
can you post links Vagner?
<joec> http://legislink.org/us
<johnlsheridan> People are already building stuff around our legislation API, eg: http://github.com/robmckinnon/legislation-uk
<johnlsheridan> the UK legislation API is at www.legislation.gov.uk - and we're surfacing some RDF too, with more to come.
<Vagner> link to an XML open data project in Brazil: http://projeto.lexml.gov.br/documentacao/resumo-em-ingles
<AdamHarvey> I just got pulled into a meeting,... have to leave.
Joe: discussing a method of
providing links to gov docs including sub/anchored links
... need to help govt w/ overlay
Daniel says that having open data, allows overlays like legislink independent of gov. does not keep gov from doing anything.
is a value add that can help influence gov. as opposed to current practice of bad data that private firms fix/normalize and then provide expensive access
