Re: Radio

Hi,

As long as considering such data transmission channel does not raise any expectation on us to create specific quality assessment rule ("Is the sound audible" "Is the anchor's flow good?") I'm alright with it :-)

I believe Laufer's suggestions alleviate all my fears.

A side question, Steve: does your project relate to what Christophe works on (http://www.mvoices.eu/)?

So, maybe we could include in our text the idea that a dataset and its corresponding metadata could be distributed as audio files as a "human readable" format. Maybe we have to change "human readable" by "human consumable " or ""human understandable" or "human comprehensible" or "human style"...

The principal tool for communication is radio.  Even in the most remote farm regions, every farm has a radio and more than a billion people tune in to radio shows the way the West did in the 1930's and 40's.

In many of these nations (and in many of our own as well) distrust of government is universal and Open Data from government will be distrusted by default.  Metadata will be key to conversations about the Data that helps build public trust in the information.
