<sandro> testing.

<sandro> Hey, edsu, mhausenblas there was some confusion about the meeting time. :-(

<sandro> okay! (except I can't make it, but hopefully others can)

<hg> 17894 is hg

trackbot, status?

trackbot, start telecon

<trackbot> Meeting: eGovernment Interest Group Teleconference

<trackbot> Date: 11 February 2010

<scribe> scribenick: mhausenblas

Cory: welcome all
... I volunteered to chair this project
... covering LD strategies and technologies
... this should be a forum to exchange stuff re LD publishing in the governmental area

Michael: Post-doc at DERI, coordinator of http://linkeddata.deri.ie/

hg: researcher at Southampton, created RKB explorer, responsible for sameas.org
... lots of co-reference stuff, actually

<hg> http://sameas.org/ http://rkbexplorer.com/

Brand: worked with Corey, at US environmental protection agency
... background with spreadsheets, interest in LD
... working on FOSS Web spreadsheet tool

hg: Michael and I are interested in LD metadata, see http://semanticweb.org/wiki/VoiD

Corey: interest also in modeldriven.org (?)

<Cory> In the future meetings will be at 10am

<Cory> Brand Neiman

Cory: collect resources regarding LD in eGov on the Web

Michael: we could use http://linkeddata.deri.ie/node/72 as an input

Cory: gather success stories

<hg> http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/wiki/Linked_Data

<hg> is that it?

Cory: let's start collecting references first, yes

hg: should we also consider collecting resources concerning the issues?

Cory: sort of a catalogue of catalogues

hg: bit frustrating personally speaking is that the dissemination channels are not fully available/supported
... for example to go out and hold seminars, etc.

Cory: looks like that most of the UK stuff is not that well known outside the inner circle

Michael: agree, but what shall we do, concretely?
... shall we also do lobbying?

Cory: sandro is unfortunately not here, but maybe W3C can help with that, yes - sort of organising a F2F

<scribe> ACTION: Cory to ask sandro re lobbying efforts (F2F, etc.) within W3C [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/02/11-egov-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-98 - Ask sandro re lobbying efforts (F2F, etc.) within W3C [on Cory Casanave - due 2010-02-18].

Cory: shall we maintain a tools list

Michael:

http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Main_Page

Michael: my 2c is, no, let's not redo it ...

hg: we should encourage people to contribute

Michael: re datasets let's use a more or less automated approach based on voiD etc.

hg: also in the UK, automated approaches are dominating

+1

Cory: re cataloguing, what would people like to see?

hg: re technologies (as well) - the practical limitations of gov agency, one should always think of that there is a workflow in the background
... outreach should tackle these issues around the process as well

Cory: makes sense

<Cory> Practical difficulties in opening data - political and technical

<Cory> Core will do a summary "mission statement"

<scribe> ACTION: Cory to propose a mission statement for our project [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/02/11-egov-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-99 - Propose a mission statement for our project [on Cory Casanave - due 2010-02-18].

hg: I didn't mean to refer to "political" issues but rather to social interaction
... agency-internally dynamics
... ensure that it is satisfactory, how to identify benefits towards citizens, etc
... we need to understand the business process, really

<scribe> ACTION: Hugh to draft a paragraph regarding gov agency business process and its implications on our outreach work [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2010/02/11-egov-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-101 - Draft demos for outreach [on Michael Hausenblas - due 2010-02-18].

Cory: shall we merge tech and outreach or keep separate?

<Cory> Proposal - combine projects into "outreach" project

Michael: focus on outreach, IMO

hg: we should reuse others work (re catalogues of catalogues and datasets)

Cory: we should start with the executive primer

hg: ok to wait till we have more people on board
