Open Standards for Identity and Datasharing

Kaliya — Wed, 31 May 2006 12:02:34 -0400

I have talking about this throughout the conference.

Free the Data

Data interoperability and Open Standards so that people who own the data have control.

Planetwork has been working on this for a while - we published the Augemented Social Network white paper in 2003 about the vision of the Social Web. Members of our community have been involved in the development of and the first implementations of two Open Standards at OASIS (one of the three internet standards bodies - IETF and W3C being the others). eXtensible Resource Identifier XRI and XRI Data Interchange XDI. Datasharing creates the Data Web. Boeing and Visa are involved in these efforts along with civil society interested parties. (xri) i-names is a namespace for people and organizations governed by XDI.org. The first major implementation is being done in a large international women's nonprofit OoTao is a company leading the way in implementing in this space.

Ears Open. Mouth Closed

Bob Robertson-Boyd — Tue, 16 May 2006 21:03:28 -0400

What am I bringing to the conference? Open ears. Open mind. Closed mouth. Okay. I won't keep my mouth closed for the whole time, but I intend to do a lot more active listening than monologuing. I'll do the monologue here:

What else will I bring? Some book knowledge of the Millennial generation and a little experience in marketing to them in a higher education setting.

My experience? I have a little volunteer experience. Some experience in building and maintaining online communities. Some experience enabling citizen journalism (circa 1997). Some exeperience in the .Gov world; some in the .Edu world. I have ZERO experience in real programming, but I've been living and working online since 1993.
