13:28:39 <josema> agenda?
13:28:47 <Rachel> Kevin: yes, data.gov is now V1, plan is to look to the community to suggest improvements
13:30:36 <josema> q?
13:30:37 <Rachel> Daniel: We should review what's out there on data.gov and recommend improvements
13:31:11 <Rachel> Kevin: Keep in mind our long-term goals - what do we want to accomplish in the end?
13:31:37 <josema> [Kevin on need of consistency across data.gov datasets]
13:32:18 <Rachel> Kevin: Right now, there is no consistency, we need to find the best examples so others can model what they are doing
13:32:39 <AdamHarvey2> It's like the early days of the web
13:33:32 <josema> did I mention this? http://data.fundacionctic.org/dataset-catalog/
13:33:50 <Rachel> George: Commends data.gov.uk as a good model
13:33:57 <josema> it's a compilation of data.gov.* catalogues out there so far (in RDF/XML, of course :)
13:37:11 <josema> and an example map visualization (using only the Spanish data, sorry) http://datos.fundacionctic.org/sandbox/catalog/public/map

13:38:36 <josema> q-
13:38:48 <sandro> See http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/sweo/public/UseCases/Nasa/ and larger list, http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/sweo/public/UseCases/

13:39:53 <MoZ> MoZ has joined #egov
13:40:22 <Daniel_Bennett> can that URL be put on IRC, George?
13:40:22 <josema> I think George refers to http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/wiki/Use_Case_7_-_FEA-RMO_OWL
13:40:23 <sandro> George: it'd be good to get the TopQuadrant-developed case studies on Ontologies for the  Federal Enterprise Architecture.
13:40:23 <Rachel> Does anyone have other examples/use cases that should be listed here?
13:40:47 <Daniel_Bennett> what was that URL George just mentioned?
13:40:54 <josema> http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/wiki/Use_Case_6_-_US_Privacy_OWL

13:42:47 <Rachel> topic: Tuning scribing procedures
13:43:52 <josema> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-egov-ig/2009Oct/0021
13:44:02 <Rachel> Looking for ways to make the scribing process easier
13:44:41 <Rachel> Sandro had developed a tool for another working group which he shared via the listserv
13:45:03 <Rachel> Sandro: tool pulls minutes from IRC to a wiki page
13:45:06 <sandro> http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/wiki/Chatlog_2009-10-14
13:45:22 <Rachel> Sandro: makes it easy for any members to edit & clean up the minutes
13:45:37 <AdamHarvey2> That is really cool. :)
13:46:26 <josema> [clap, clap]
13:47:29 <Rachel> Sandro:  any questions or comments?
13:47:58 <Rachel> Sandro: if everyone likes this, we will incorporate into our standard operating procedures
13:49:29 <sandro> Jim_Snyder
13:49:36 <sandro> Brian_Gryff
13:49:38 <sandro> Owen
13:49:43 <annew> Anne Washington
13:49:55 <AdamHarvey2> It sounded like you said I'm a regret... I'm here.
13:50:10 <Daniel_Bennett> Daniel Bennett
13:50:22 <sandro> Sorry, AdamHarvey2, I didn't mean to say that if I did.
13:50:26 <tb> Thomas bandholtz
13:50:38 <Rachel> Sandro: new tool automatically generates list of attendees as they are mentioned in the discussion
13:52:05 <Rachel> Josema: If we use this new tool, should we continue to send text of minutes to listserv?
13:52:10 <sandro> Brian_Gryth: I'm here
13:52:17 <sandro> Owen_Ambur: I'mhere
13:52:28 <sandro> Anne_Washington: I'm here
13:52:35 <Rachel> Josema: or just send a link to the minutes as formatted in this new tool?
13:52:42 <sandro> ThomasB: I'm here
13:52:42 <josema> agenda?
13:52:52 <josema> zakim, take up next agendum
13:52:52 <Zakim> agendum 4. "Celebration: Charter approved!" taken up [from josema]
13:52:53 <Rachel> topic: Celebration: Charter approved!
13:53:18 <josema> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-egov-ig/2009Oct/0008
13:53:37 <Rachel> Kevin says congrats and thanks to all who contributed
13:53:50 <sandro> guest: Jim Snider
13:53:54 <sandro> Jim_Snider: I'm here
13:54:26 <Rachel> Kevin: Head of W3C was very complimentary and excited about future work of the group
13:54:43 <Rachel> Josema: Thanks all, very good work
13:55:33 <Rachel> Josema: We are now chartered for another year
13:56:11 <Rachel> Kevin: Send ideas via listserv about where you think we should focus our energies this next year
13:56:27 <Rachel> Joe: Is the eGov effort focused primarily on open data?
13:56:42 <Rachel> Kevin: Not necessarily, though that is part of it
13:57:11 <Rachel> Kevin: Interoperability and linked open data are both important
13:57:41 <Rachel> Kevin: Governments really pushing to open their data to the public
13:57:57 <Rachel> Joe: Agencies have a lot of data, but people don't know how to get to it
13:58:10 <Rachel> Joe: data.gov is an attempt to help people get to that data
13:58:23 <josema> OGD != LGD :)
13:58:51 <josema> (LGD is part of OGD if you want)
13:59:06 <Rachel> Joe: recommends xpointer
13:59:35 <sergey> sergey has joined #egov
13:59:58 <annew> OGD = Open Government Data vvs LGD = Linked Government Data
14:00:15 <josema> yup
14:00:16 <Rachel> Remember eGovt is about more than opening data.  We must think about the impact of what we do on the person sitting at their computer trying to complete an online transaction with their government
14:00:49 <AdamHarvey2> +1 to Rachel - Don't forget that citizen interaction UX & UI is important
14:00:50 <annew> just clarifying for the record to enhance enjoyment of the equation
14:00:57 <josema> +1 to Rachel!
14:01:33 <sandro> "Do you think XPointer is too techie"        I hope that was a joke.....
14:01:36 <josema> remember the three steps to OGD: identify, expose, consume
14:02:04 <josema> agenda?
14:02:34 <AdamHarvey2> Maybe we need a "tech to wonk" TF?
14:03:46 <josema> q?
14:04:45 <josema> http://www.w3.org/2000/09/dbwg/details?group=42481&public=1
14:04:46 <Rachel> Joe: There are many standards that could help end users
14:04:53 <josema> http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/participation
14:05:30 <Rachel> Josema: Reminder to visitors that we would like you to officially join us!
14:05:44 <josema> zakim, next agendum
14:05:44 <Zakim> agendum 5. "Where to go from here?" taken up [from josema]
14:05:45 <Rachel> topic: Where to go from here?
14:06:00 <Owen> W/re Rachel's point, the Web Content Managers' strategic plan is available at http://xml.gov/stratml/WCMstratplan.xml
14:06:04 <josema> http://www.w3.org/2009/09/30-egov-minutes#item01
14:06:42 <Rachel> Josema: Where to go from here...linked govt data, use of standards, etc
14:06:49 <annew> +1 Rachel. lets enhance govt information usability not force feed tech standards
14:08:03 <Rachel> Josema: What specific topics should we tackle next?
14:08:08 <AdamHarvey2> I'd like to spend more time doing outreach
14:08:28 <AdamHarvey2> Yes, but muted
14:09:09 <slizin> slizin has joined #egov

14:09:20 <AdamHarvey2> Yup... I want state and local folks to get interested in this too
14:09:40 <Rachel> Daniel: Need to remember that our work impacts not only federal/national, but also state/local governments
14:10:23 <Rachel> Daniel: working to develop standards for publishing legislation in XML
14:10:32 <josema> I'm wondering if you've seen the NASCIO doc on data transparency http://www.nascio.org/publications/documents/NASCIO-DataTransparency.pdf
14:10:45 <josema> [["Leverage Linked Data approaches to present state datasets. This simplifies the process and avoids redundant data storage."]]
14:11:45 <Rachel> Joe: Need to compile a page of good examples, best practices around open data
14:12:37 <Rachel> Brian: likes that idea
14:12:53 <Rachel> Brian: see NAPA's Collaboration Project for a good model
14:13:15 <Daniel_Bennett> http://www.collaborationproject.org/display/home/Home
14:14:05 <annew> see also the european union's http://www.epractice.eu/
14:15:44 <Rachel> Brian: GovLoop has been helpful for finding good examples like this
14:15:48 <josema> I'm hearing something similar to what we tried to accomplish with the use cases before http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/wiki/Category:Use_Case
14:15:57 <josema> but did not...
14:16:05 <Rachel> Daniel: Is there a "standard" for finding/compiling use cases?
14:16:36 <Rachel> metadata?
14:16:50 <sandro> +1 yeah, it'd be great to have a standard way to put something on your site saying "Look here is someone people should look at, when they are looking for ODG/whatever"
