Building a Better Future for ALL of us

Created Dec 20 2017, 5:58 PM by Unknown

It is a great time to be alive.  I have been involved in several discussion lately about how to move forward in development.  This morning I had discussions about the importance of data.  I hope to address:

# 1: How to prepare stakeholders; and

# 2: The need to select datasets to capture data.

 

What are the best practices for building support and a business case for 'Linked Data'?  Stakeholders will need to be educated on the costs and benefits of Linked Data in order to justify group investments.  One of the most important considerations is selecting the datasets for publication.  Is it possible to agree upon criteria? The best candidates are unique datasets with a large number of potential connections to other data. These datasets are likeliest to provide a high return on investment with published as Linked Data.


These best practices apply equally well to both government agencies considering how to publish their data as Linked Data and to companies or organizations (best known as NGOs) looking to leverage Linked Data to improve the discoverability and usability of data assets internally and in collaboration with external entities such as partners, suppliers, and customers. 

In this blog post, I want to also write about:

 

PEOPLE POWER MOVEMENTS AND INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS: CREATING A LEGAL FRAMEWORK


This is a topic that needs to be considered without bias.
