- Q+
- 15:33:07 [PhilA]
- ack olyerickson
- 15:33:47 [PhilA]
- olyerickson: I had a question... The general concept of building social networks around agencies... NASA is unique, lots of people care about it
- 15:34:24 [PhilA]
- olyerickson: but there are other parts of the US gov who are exploring other methods of reaching its followers
- 15:34:51 [PhilA]
- olyerickson: For example, people are concerned about social services etc. i.e. there are others
- 15:35:09 [olyerickson]
- Jeanne_: Can't think of an agency that ISN'T using s.m. in some wau
- 15:35:33 [olyerickson]
- * example: CIA is focusing on improvement; recruiting people to "help out"
- 15:36:01 [olyerickson]
- * so even an agency that doesn't usually share is reaching out
- 15:36:12 [olyerickson]
- * another example: state department
- 15:36:43 [olyerickson]
- * concept: not trying to do everything, but focus with the group(s) you want to reach out to and be where they are

- 15:45:33 [olyerickson]

- 15:48:11 [PhilA]
- olyerickson: You said you have multiple FB pages to meet different interests
- 15:48:54 [PhilA]
- olyerickson: You need to go to where people are... that multi-modal approach is more of a methodology
- 15:49:31 [PhilA]
- Jeanne_: (breaking up a little)
- 15:49:46 [olyerickson]
- Jeanne_: At W3C Accessibility Conference
- 15:49:55 [olyerickson]
- Using accessibility as an example

- 15:50:24 [olyerickson]
- "Don't forget traditional ways to engage the public"

- 16:03:00 [DanielBennett]
- We should have a committee that meets in addition to this main meeting to build this document
- 16:03:10 [olyerickson]
- Jeanne_: When we re-formed group, we heard "something" should be produced
- 16:03:30 [olyerickson]
- * it is an IG not a WG, there are limits

- 16:06:04 [olyerickson]
- Not sure what the work product DanielBennett is referring to might be
- 16:06:10 [Owen]

- Yes, olyerickson, it will be W3C hosted
- 16:10:06 [olyerickson]
- Q: Will this be public from the start []yes []no
- 16:10:16 [Jeanne_]
- It is public right now.
- 16:10:22 [Owen]
- I will contribute in any way that I can, both in format and substance
- 16:10:24 [olyerickson]
- DeirdreLee: Will contribute information & data sharing
- 16:10:31 [PhilA]
- ack GannonDick
- 16:10:39 [Jeanne_]
- I would think we should keep it transparent, although as it moves through some iterations it make be in discussion.
- 16:10:54 [olyerickson]
- GannonDick: Can do StratML magic to it
- 16:11:01 [Owen]
- Gannon, you are already referenced at http://xml.gov/stratml/index.htm#Part3
- 16:11:32 [Owen]
- Will look forward to seeing StratML wikified

- Q: Does W3C process even apply (if this is not a Recommendation(tm) )
- 16:13:46 [olyerickson]
- sandro: Every contributor MUST be a member of the group and follows IP policies
- 16:14:12 [olyerickson]
- Jeanne_: Initiate group member list etc yada yada
- 16:14:25 [olyerickson]
- DanielBennett: The wiki platform does a great job
- 16:14:48 [Jeanne_]
- yada yada = make sure people have agreed to W3C intellectual guidelines and policies

- * even "pencil and paper" (definition? ;) )
- 16:15:20 [olyerickson]
- PhilA: If tehre is something you need/want control over, DON'T contribute it...
- 16:15:41 [olyerickson]

- Re I have tried to engage wiki vendors in incorporating the StratML standard into their services - I think we have gone beyond StratML with MindTouch TCS: http://www.mindtouch.com/solutions/knowledge_base
- 16:19:29 [PhilA]
- Jeanne_: I want to go haed and make the building of the directory as an asynchronous activity
- 16:19:47 [PhilA]
- ... want to write a wiki page to set out what we should try and capture
- 16:20:06 [bhyland]
- A working directory that will improve with iteration & input from the eGov IG is here, http://dir.w3.org
- 16:20:13 [PhilA]
- ... doesn't need to be a verbal discussion, just need to get on with it
- 16:20:30 [PhilA]
- bdhandspicker: Doing is better than talking about it
- 16:21:13 [bhyland]
- We're open to making it an Open Data directory ...
- 16:21:42 [bdhandspicker]
- Clarification - precise quote from me: "Sometimes doing is better than talking something to death."
- 16:21:45 [bhyland]
- ++1 to what PhilA is saying, it gardener is required to maintain a garden

- 16:23:16 [PhilA]
- ack bhyland
- 16:23:34 [PhilA]
- Jeanne_: Sounds good...
- 16:24:03 [PhilA]
- bhyland: +1 to PhilA - it's hard to get this going. We have a directory built on W3C standards top to bottom. What we need is the input
- 16:24:29 [PhilA]
- bhyland: We need more data and maybe a better UI but we should combine our efforts and not diltue them
- 16:24:47 [PhilA]
- s/diltue/dilute/
- 16:24:47 [Brand]
- We are working on a directory of government "big data" sets and projects for Congress and the Federal Government: http://semanticommunity.info/AOL_Government/Emerging_Technology_SIG_October_18_Meeting_Big_Data_Committee_Overview
- 16:25:36 [PhilA]
- bhyland: WE should be promoting things like the UK's ODI etc. through the directory

- 16:26:19 [PhilA]
- bhyland: I would be disappointed if there were multiple directories - we should have one good one.
- 16:26:28 [PhilA]
- Jeanne_: And yes, in this case, more is not better
- 16:26:51 [PhilA]
- Jeanne_: I think it would be appropriate to include the topcs we're looking at. I'll look at the directory
- 16:26:51 [bhyland]
- Caveat: Working code that has a few committed "gardeners" is critical to a community site.
- 16:27:00 [Owen]
- If the directory complies with applicable standards for interoperability, does it matter whether there is one or many?
- 16:27:16 [Jeanne_]
- ack bdhandspicker

- ack bdhandspicker
- 16:27:34 [PhilA]
- bdhandspicker: I was just going to remind folks that not all gov data is open data
- 16:27:53 [PhilA]
- bdhandspicker: But I'm sure that the directory could capture experts in data that isn't open
- 16:28:08 [Owen]
- I'd like to post my own data for the directory(ies) on my own site.
- 16:28:26 [PhilA]
- bhyland: Yes - just because you might come from a company that does OD, that doesn't mean you only do OD
- 16:29:10 [PhilA]
- PhilA: I think that's one of the functions that the Directory has - it's all built on RDF and SPARQL
- 16:29:17 [PhilA]
- ^^ for Owen
- 16:29:52 [PhilA]
- Jeanne: The last thing to mention is ICEGOV in Albany. Both I and Tomas will be there
- 16:29:59 [PhilA]
- PhilA: So will Crossover project btw
- 16:30:29 [PhilA]
- Jeanne: Next project will be Open data. What I want to do is to put out a call for speakers in the next 2 months or so. Including private gov data etc.
- 16:30:41 [PhilA]
- ... we'll be organising those sessions.
- 16:31:34 [PhilA]
- Jeanne: I think the two time zone thing is working - we've had some good comments on that
- 16:31:55 [PhilA]
- Jeanne: Thanks everyone for their contributions
- 16:31:59 [PhilA]
- Adjourned
- 16:32:01 [bdhandspicker]
