Hi Phil, I have heard quite a bit about Planck Scale physics lately. IMHO this is cool stuff, but extremely dangerous as an organizational or governance fad. In particular, there is no provenance, so two day old meta data about "bad" guys is now about "good" guys, and second, a 24x7 world of conserved energy descends into 24x14 days of 6 hours sleep. This destroys the "common wisdom" around Work-Life Balance. I wrote a brief White Paper if you are interested* ... http://www.rustprivacy.org/2014/balance/planck.pdf --Gannon -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 3/17/14, Phil Archer <phila@w3.org> wrote: Subject: Uses of Open Data Within Government for Innovation and Efficiency To: public-lod@w3.org Date: Monday, March 17, 2014, 8:04 AM Call for Participation Uses of Open Data Within Government for Innovation and Efficiency Samos, Greece 30 June - 1 July 2014 You are warmly invited to participate in the first of a series of workshops being organised during this year and next by the Share-PSI 2.0 Thematic Network [1]. Partners from 25 countries are working on issues surrounding the implementation of the European Commission's revised PSI Directive and this will feed into the W3C Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group [2]. We're beginning with "Uses of Open Data Within Government for Innovation and Efficiency" [3] - i.e. we're looking for cases where opening data has made it easier for government departments (local or national) to do their job better. What worked? What didn't work? What lessons can you share with others? What would most help you benefit from other people's work? The workshop is taking place as part of the 5th Samos Summit on ICT-Enabled Governance [4] which means participants can look forward to spending time on a beautiful island in the Aegean sea, formerly the home of Pythagoras. Entry is by position paper which should not be a full academic paper, rather, a short description of what you'd like to talk about. Deadline for submissions: 13 April Notification of acceptance: 1 May Full details at http://www.w3.org/2013/share-psi/workshop/samos/ Join us!
