Serafin--

My apologies for overlooking the earlier suggestion for your talk.  I'd be

>>

>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> bhyland: W3C staff can also share what is going

>> 
>>     <bhyland> #2 - Common problem is overwhelming government

>> 
>>     <bhyland> • Financial benefits
>> 
>>     <bhyland> • Social responsibility benefits
>> 
>>     <bhyland> • Legal & regulatory benefits
>> 
>>     <bhyland> • Technical benefits
>> 
>>     <bhyland> #3 theme - Need to document on W3C site compelling
>>     applications using Linked Data are critical, beef up SWEO
>>     concept & bring it up to date for LD deployments in the wild.
>>     This will help Gartner too.

>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> bgryth: DenverCog--regional group that works with

>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> bgryth: Went with CKAN based on Data.gov.uk model

>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> bgryth: We sat down and wrote a policy based on

>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> bgryth: A lot of gov attorneys do not know about

>>

>>     <bgryth> Thanks everyone!

>> 
>>     <bhyland> @pgryth, thank you for a very comprehensive dive on
>>     Open Colorado, great work! Very interesting, thank you.
>> 
>>     Daniel_Bennett: The idea is that for each of these, we'll have
>>     a meeting to get us towards a concrete/finsihed product. These
>>     will be separate from the monthly eGov IG meetings
>>     ... Series of Meetings
>> 
>>     Whiteboard/Ideas session
>> 
>>     Requirements
>> 
>>     Outline
>> 
>>     Delegation
>> 
>>     First Draft Deadline
>> 
>>     Executive Summary/One pager
>> 
>>     Editorial Session for content
>> 
>>     Editorial Session for accessibility, proofing, readability
>> 
>>     W3C vetting
>> 
>>     Daniel_Bennett: Delegation - volunteers often dry up so here's
>>     where we get people to commit to deliver a section
>>     ... that will tell us how real this is
>> 
>>     q
>> 
>>     <bhyland> Who is the target audience for this writeup?
>> 
>>     We can be quick when we have to be, honestly...
>> 
>>     <bhyland> @Daniel_Bennett … can you provide the 50,000' view of
>>     what you're aiming to achieve with this writeup please?
>> 
>>     Daniel_Bennett: We may use the wiki or we may have a secretary
>>     (prob me) who will collect text in whatever format and add it
>>     to the wiki
>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> Target audience is for the larger community of
>>     eGov people who are not actually on the calls themselves.
>> 
>>     Daniel_Bennett: I think having a checklist for gov workers is
>>     important
>>     ... it can be something generic enough for everyone to use and
>>     can be tailored to specific circumstances
>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> Daniel_Bennett: Have a menu for social media to
>>     broaden the possibilities
>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm>

>> 
>>     <bhyland> @Jeanne_Holm, so is it a summary of all the eGov
>>     meetings or a work product like a best practices doc?
>> 
>>     Daniel_Bennett: The idea is that there is a process - rules
>>     etc. on how they do things. So first thing would be to draw a
>>     diagram of how they do things in that department
>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> Bhyland--a work product that will highlight some
>>     best practices (not to be an exhaustive research project) and
>>     the important things for gov implementers and those in the
>>     field to be aware of based on research and implementations
>>     presented from our group.
>> 
>>     <bhyland> @jeanne_holm, thanks, understand.
>> 
>>     Daniel_Bennett: Then any legal issues. The federal gov has a
>>     specific contract. Others might have similar things to deal
>>     with. Accessibility, privacy etc.
>>     ... May be rules on moderation
>>     ... May be rules on publishing government communications,
>>     activities etc.
>>     ... In the whiteboard session I can look at the different
>>     layers so folks can see who they'll need to talk to
>>     ... Moves on to the menu

>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> q
>> 
>>     Daniel_Bennett: Hoping to have a meeting every 2 weeks to make
>>     progress. Hope people are interested to lend a hand
>> 
>>     Jeanne_Holm: I just want to mention a couple of things. You've
>>     done some of these before - I like the framework
>>     ... You didn't volunteer to do everything.
>> 
>>     Daniel_Bennett: I volunteered to do the social media one
>> 
>>     Jeanne_Holm: We're looking for volunteers for this but also to
>>     do the same thing for the open data series as well
>> 
>>     Daniel_Bennett: Any questions or, better still, offers of help?
>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> Please make sure to include me on the meeting for
>>     social media write up!
>> 
>>     Daniel_Bennett: I'll take help from outsdie the Interest Group!
>> 
>>     bhyland: I would encourage at least quarterly attendance for
>>     some folk here in the GLD Working Group
>>     [38]http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/

>> 
>>       [38] http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/

>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> These are great meetings and I enoucrage people
>>     to attend as well. I attend as able.
>> 
>>     bhyland: The vocab discussions may not be the ones of greatest
>>     interest but the best practice meetings would be - procurement,
>>     publishing etc.
>> 
>>     brand: In a broader perspective... all this work with
>>     government open data and linked data should have started in a
>>     different way. Should have started with most interesting data
>>     and then move other data sets to the same direction
>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> Brand: This should have started in a different
>>     way with the best data from the gov agencies in the best
>>     standards and then to move the rest of the data that way.
>> 
>>     brand: We tried to make data.gov that way but it ended up
>>     essentially being an IT project
>>     ... I'm writing a paper for the Japanese government. They
>>     started with CKAN. I've been asked to take the statistical data
>>     they have and put that into a standardised linked data format
>>     as well as the CKAN data
>>     ... It's all about trying to take the best data a country has
>>     first and then get the open data to match
>> 
>> WWW2013 Brazil
>> 
>>     Jeanne_Holm: Are we interested in organising a session on
>>     eGov/Open data?
>>     ... It could be based on the social media Note that we should
>>     have published by then, possibly the one on open data by then
>>     too
>>     ... If we can come together in the coming weeks and see who
>>     wants to be involved - it's a good opportunity for the group
>> 
>>     General call for help with flights
>> 
>>     <bhyland> PhilA2: The W3C staff involved in Society &
>>     Technology Activity believe the tech stack is nearly complete.
>> 
>>     <bgryth> @bhyland - we would be happy to discuss lessons
>>     learned. Let me know how you'd like to do that.
>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> PhilA2: OKF and UK ODI event on Open Data on the
>>     Web: use, discovery, find it programmatically, vocabulary
>>     development
>> 
>>     <bhyland> Next requirements involve: #1 - Validation; #2 -
>>     Programmatic & developer access & re-use of data; #3 -
>>     Vocabulary development (some being done in W3C GLD WG), looking
>>     to consider more 'crowd sourced' approaches ...
>> 
>>     <Jeanne_Holm> PhilA2: This is just tentative and may happen
>> 
>>     European data Forum 2013 [39]http://2013.data-forum.eu/

>> 
>>       [39] http://2013.data-forum.eu/

>> 
>>     <bhyland> European Data Forum, 9-10 April in Dublin Ireland …
>>     all about open data + Linked Data
>> 
>>     <bhyland> Yeah!
>> 
>>     Jeanne_Holm: Next meeting at this time is on 14th Dec
>>     ... Rufus Pollock is scheduled for the next IG meeting which is
>>     on 26th Nov 09:00GMT - bad for US folk, sorry
>>     ... Brain Handspicker has volunteered to scribe next time.
>> 
>>     <bhyland> @jeanne-holm, perhaps a 15 debrief on GLD WG
>>     including community directory work makes sense … a brief on
>>     what we've completed in last 16 mos & plan for remaining months
>>     of our charter (7 mos).
>> 
>>     <Daniel_Bennett> thanks Jeanne. volunteers can list their names
