Re: healthdata.gov/developer challenges

The distinction Brand makes works for me.

Local Community properties are what Chemistry calls Colligative Properties[1].  One consequence for statistics about Communities is that who encodes the invitation list identifiers matters.  For the London Olympics, there are 203 Olympic Committees and 246 Country Entities represented.  See [2].  There is a G-20 Summit next week.  You would think Economists could count ... OK, so the 27 EU Countries are included as a block but some EU Members are named separately, a total of 42 ... oops with Country dependencies 90.   See [3].  This information is critical for the Press Coverage of the Olympics.   The 160 or so opinions "missing" from the G-20 are important too, I think.

Good luck with everything Brand, I hope the distinction you're making works for you.

Believe it or not, people know how to find me without your website enabling spambots for my government email address.
