Re: CredWeb Outros (was Re: long time no chat, CredWeb friends)

Sandro, your plan for the Human Data Network is now available in StratML format at https://stratml.us/drybridge/index.htm#HDF  
It is among a couple dozen plans listed for evaluation by the CWCG at https://stratml.us/drybridge/index.htm#CWCG
Soon it will also be indexed for discovery at https://search.aboutthem.info/
I am particularly interested in your Objective 3: Commitments & Plans ~ Share commitments and plans, either to one's self, or as part of a group.  
I look forward to learning how your conceptualization of such data relates to the elements specified in the StratML schema (ISO 17469-1), the vision of which is:  A worldwide web (network) of intentions, stakeholders, and results.
In the meantime, I continue to press for U.S. federal agencies to comply with section 10 of the GPRA Modernization Act, which directs them to publish their strategic plans and performance reports in machine-readable format, like StratML.  For example, in addition to numerous postings on LinkedIn, I have urged my representative, Chairwoman Nancy Mace, to schedule an oversight hearing in that regard.
ChatGPT has learned to express the business case quite well, in terms of trust in public institutions: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/trustworthy-institutions-owen-ambur/  
Neither it nor Bard has yet mastered the capability to render relatively amorphous plans or website about us statements in valid StratML format, but I will continue to try to help them learn to do so.
I have also made many good contacts with State and local elected officials here in South Carolina, Beaufort County, and the Town of Hilton Head about prospects for applying that good practice.  While they generally seem to understand the need, the bureaucracy remains quite intractable and capitalizing on the opportunity for improvement will require the development of better, tools, apps, and services.  In the public interest, it would be nice to think the W3C's members could help deliver such capabilities.
There are now >5.7K plans in the StratML collection, all of which are discoverable at https://search.aboutthem.info/  Any comments or suggestions on how to improve the utility and usablity of that service would be most welcome.
BTW, sorry I missed the November 1 meeting.  Verizon/AOL mail continues to treat W3C messages as spam and I haven't kept up well on my spam folder lately.

  Thanks Scott and Sara-Jayne.   Just to clarify, after talking with Scott, the meeting is Wednesday, 1 Nov 2023 (9 days from now).  Zoom link will be posted to credweb.org.
 
 Also, credit to An Xiao Mina, who co-founded the group. She went on to other things, but she was a key part of the early stages of the group.
 
 Continuing what Sara-Jayne started, I suggest everyone reading this post an "outro".  (We started the group with folks doing "intros".)  I'm particular curious how people now feel about the Credible Web Mission, and what kind of work they might still be doing in the field.
 
 For myself, I'm still 100% on board with the first paragraph of the mission, but not the use of RDF in the second part.
 
 I'm working full time to make this a reality. I've pivoted a few times in my approach, including moving away from W3C, and these days I see the best path to the Credible Web being an integrated data/app platform. 
 
 That is: make credibility data-sharing a part of general data sharing (including personal data). That way, the credibility system can use the rest of the data sharing system to manage credibility assessments, and the rest of the data sharing system can use the credibility system to maintain trust and safety. 
 
 I'm calling this platform with integrated credibility the Human Data Forum. If you want to chat about it, or just want a beta-test invitation when they're available, let me know. That's slated for December.
 
 I hope you're all doing well, and will see some of you on the call Nov 1.

I can't make the meeting because I'm on stage at OODAcon then (talking about trust landscapes with Heather McMahon), so here's a written update.  I went back to live in the UK, and am now one of the tech leads on ARCD - a project using machine learning to respond to cyber attacks at machine speed / in places where there's no cyber expert available (we have about 60 projects live around the UK right now).  
  I took a year out from disinformation response (the DISARM Foundation continues the AMITT/DISARM work), but it's starting to drag me back in again - I recently started an ATT&CK version for the mis/dis/mal around LLMs, so we can talk about how they're duped vs how humans are; and had fun using LLMs to create an information training environment, with LLM chatbots doing narrative attack and response.  Other than that, I've been pretty quiet.

 You are getting this email because at some point you were a part of the CredWeb group in W3C, started by the incomparable Sandro Hawke. 
  Then I came in and tried to create a new mission for the group, and then we all just moved on.  
  This group is now going to get deleted unless we find a new source of inspiration and leadership, but before we do that... maybe we could just get together to get quick updates on what we've all been doing? 
  Let's do it at the time we used to do it: this Wednesday at 4 p.m. in London, 11 a.m. Eastern, 8 a.m. in California. 
  Here's a Google Calendar link. 
  I hope to see a lot of you there! If you can't make that time, feel free to drop Sandro and me a note and let us know what you are up to, and if you have any thoughts about keeping the CredWeb group going.
