I would say having a web of echoes and references around the web can be really valuable whether or not hashes or sigs are included. 15:15:03 @Cory - has to be resource, or instance of resource (a "copy" in a publications sense) if its a file. signing a dataset presents its own prov. probs. 15:16:05 another reason to make government data easier to copy and reference. 15:16:16 @Daniel - Prov is linked to trust - public only cares if the information is "official" or not - echoes and refs not simple enough 15:16:36 *simply 15:16:50 http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/prov/wiki/Use_Cases 15:16:51 But a resource is not owned by any particular graph, 15:17:19 wow, that's a lot of use cases.... 15:18:00 hmmm. i think that most people prefer easy to find data than "signed" documents. "trust" is usually oft repeated, but usually a secondary process when a problem arises. 15:18:26 also most data is granular and is hard to sign each datum. 15:18:27 zakim, unmute me 15:18:27 johnlsheridan should no longer be muted 15:18:56 joe: digital signatures? 15:19:12 yolanda: it's not a use case for us, but it's important 15:19:36 digital signatures for public laws as well as bills from the 110th congress 15:19:40 no one can keep john from speaking up. UNMUTE JOHN! 15:19:42 @Cory + @Daniel - think like a user, all other prov issues aside - public either wants first hand data/files/info from a .gov.* domain (which by inference is always "official") or if viewing second hand and wanting verfication of .gov.* prov, will check on .gov.* anyway 15:19:47 Joe_carmel: Gov't printing office GPO 15:19:48 Yolanda Gil 15:20:01 10 mins left 15:20:05 q+ 15:21:08 +1 liaison with Provenance Incubator group 15:21:11 cory: The Semantic Web stack needs some new standard here 15:21:17 some more info about gpo and digital signatures: http://www.gpo.gov/help/authentication_of_information.htm 15:21:23 yolanda: this group will run until september 15:21:46 +q 15:21:49 ack johnlsheridan 15:21:52 +1 daniel - Prov + .gov.* + SM is a major issue we could use input on 15:23:31 (@edsu - thanks - I'll be waving that around a work tomorrow :) ) 15:23:35 johnlsheridan: the kind of data publishing we're doing requires provenance tracking, especially through transforms. your uses capture this well.
