Re: abstract submitted, Handbook and a call?

Dear members of the AIKR CG. I am particularly interested in the issue of AI and KR for eGovernance and eGovernment.The UNCAC (United Nationas Convention Against Corruption) and AML/CFT treaties (anti money laundering/combating financing of terrorism) are very specific in compliance and thus governance, but everything else is still vague including what should constitute corporate, social, environmental, human rights and sustainable development governance and the Sustainable Development Goals do not in particular help clearly define governance.

In fact there is no clear definition of the boundaries, overlapping issues and distinction between legislation/law enforcement/compliance, moral conduct, ethical conduct/codes, corporate governance/rules of conduct, governance/guidelines.

Thus eGovernance is highly context sensitive, which makes the KR very important and the AI component determining the context/environment very important as well.
What would be very useful is some essays on how to map from a generalized set of concepts and ontologies onto the currently more familiar areas of legislation, legal guidelines, ethical codes of conduct and the various forms of more or less well established corporate, social and environmental governance.
A useful starting point would be to do a literature review on ontologies and indicators for governance.
Again, very good idea the eBook on AI and KR for eGovernance.

 Seasons Greetings!
Thank you OwEn, Ronald and Predeep for volunteering to participate in this work if our abstract for the conference is accepted.  I have elaborated a bit and submitted as discussedhttps://iacio.org/call-for-paper-open-now-for-15th-iac-annual-conference-sept-2020-washington-d-c/  

Since the topic sees to be spiking some interest in the community and we have 4 volunteers including myself already on the case, plus two almost co-chairs showing wish for more involvement in  the co leadership  of this CG (much appreciated!) I would suggest that we may want to start drafting an ebook and perhaps arrange a call sometime in January to have a chat about how to go about things - like division of labour, finding a publisher, and copyright issues.  It goes without saying that if someone is willing to contribute and prefers to do so via email, is welcome to do so, I myself do not join calls often.
I have written and published monographs in the past, but have hopes that this CG can produce something collaboratively.
So, this is an invitation to all members, especially those who have expressed interest in the topic AI KR for EGovernance, to:a)  discuss with myself and others how to go about writing and publishing a handbook on the topic - especially  managing the collaboration, copyright an finding a publisher. we could self publish an open source synopsis via this group and/or find a publisher-b) put your name in the doc above, start thinking and putting together a few paragraphs/pages/a chapter for a Handbookc) Let others know if they are willing to be on  a call, doodle will follow for those interested(sound effect)PDM

Please enter any of the (brief) points you wish you contribute to this submission in the abstract section(specifically related to KR for transparency and accountability)https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iZARdPoWeEZzld1iugl5hlaMh7aaYrJkD7SiEycXvdQ/edit  
(preferably before dec 24)
I ll submit it asap
We can then elaborate the points  into a page or section for a paper submission to some journal, if academic publication is of interest to this group and maybe  with a practical handbook for CIOs, which could be our own publication and free gift to the world

Since my July 1999 paper on KM is difficult to read in the original HTML, I have now published it in PDF athttp://ambur.net/6thGenKM.pdf 


The 33rd end note is somewhat ironic.  It says:


Balla concludes: With every release of Microsoft Office, Windows NT and Exchange, Microsoft is moving closer and closer to providing a platform that organizations can use as an infrastructure for their KM initiative. Microsoft has even announced a major focus on KM for its upcoming product versions... thanks to Microsoft's marketing muscle, the KM industry will become legitimized overnight.


It has been a fairly long night and it seems doubtful even now that MS Project Cortex can be taken as more than merely a new beginning, in a proprietary environment.

On page 12, I quoted Savage as suggesting,  "... teams should be responsible for defining their goals, purpose, and mission - together with their project plan - in a shareable database."  For public objectives, I now believe that "database" should be the Internet.  See https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/i-only-had-brain-evolving-prefrontal-core-text-internet-owen-ambur/, whose title has an amazingly coincidental parallel to MS's new project.

Thanks a lot Owen

are you local to DC?

I think we just need to send the abstract asap
 then start working on a paper hoping that we can agree on scope and
language

 KR is the way we can hold  government guys accountable, we just need to
make
a compelling case for them.

Please feel free to start drafting, glad this resonates with you and
hopefully Carl, who had some input in the Taipei talk as well as hopefully
others of course,

Paola, I am very interested in the use of AI to foster transparency and
accountability in government.  While this May 1998 presentation makes no
reference to AI, it is all about records management and accountability is
all about records, preferably maintained and shared in open, standard,
machine-readable format:  http://ambur.net/ASIS/KMvalue.html

As revealed by this Google query
<https://www.google.com/search?q=ai+for+records+management&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS868US868&oq=AI+for+records+&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l7.6274j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8>,
AI is now being widely used to support the classification and management of
records.

For background on machine-readability, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-readable_document

See also the closely related provisions of the OPEN Government Data Act
(OGDA):
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/open-gov-data-act-machine-readable-records-owen-ambur/

Here are some of the plans in the StratML collection that reference AI:

It appears that AIIM may take up the cause of KM again, stimulated by MS Project
Cortex <http://stratml.us/carmel/iso/MSPCwStyle.xml>.  Here are some of
the artifacts generated by AIIM's last pass at that topic, in StratML
format:  http://stratml.us/drybridge/index.htm#AIIMKM

I look forward to learning if this group can crowdsource the preparation
of a proposed presentation making a significant contribution to the
advancement of the cause of transparency and accountability in government
at the International Academy of CIO (IAC) conference in Arlington,
Virginia, on September 28 - 30.

For those whom may be unfamiliar with that IAC, their about statement is
available in StratML format at http://stratml.us/carmel/iso/IACTwStyle.xml
In the DC area, this is the IAC more commonly known:

Greetings folks

There is an opportunity to make the next contribution to the next AICIO
conference in DC

I would like to attend in person, if possible,  and maybe that could be an
opportunity to hangout
together and pitch our work to the CIO community, which is so important
(and so much in need of guidance)
or if I cannot attend, maybe we can have someone local to go and present

Here is more or les what I have in mind,

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iZARdPoWeEZzld1iugl5hlaMh7aaYrJkD7SiEycXvdQ/edit?usp=sharing

 if someone is inspired to co author, let's pitch
I think the main challenge is to find agreement on what to say
(for example, Carl Own and myself have so far contributed to this topic on
this list
may have different opinions for the direction of this work, and speak
different languages)
I guess thats part of the mission

I am also reminding co chairs that we are waitinf for their mission
statements
to proceed with their nominations

Thanks

PDM
