Open source is now a term that is increasingly understood, or at least talked about.
FLOSS vs. open source is still problematic. Jim de la Hunt (@jdlh) twittered that he’s been hearing a lot of open source, but not really mentioning FLOSS. I responded - o/s is somewhat heard of (That’s software I can use for free, right?), FLOSS is radical and scary (just like pirates)

Anyway, let’s pretend we understand open source and move on to the next battle

keeping data open
/from the content we \"generate\" for many social sites to the closed silos of government and businesses.

Technology: lots of platforms and frameworks already produce formats and have APIs - if you’re building from scratch, ask / require your tech partner to include them
Licensing: do you want companies to play? then don’t use CC Non Commercial
Attitude: lots of businesses get confused about their ownership of data - governments are just

Semantic web not really just one technology - an Apple is a fruit, vs. Apple the company, vs. Apple the singer
Linked Data - this is what gets me excited. 2 billion connected facts
RDFa, Microformats, etc. -

http://www.freebase.com/view/en/what_is_freebase
Freebase is unique among online databases because a single Freebase topic can encompass many different kinds of information. In other databases there would have to be a separate topic for each category, or a completely separate database. For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger would appear in a movie database as an actor, a political database as a governor, and a bodybuilder database as a Mr. Universe. In Freebase there is one topic for Arnold Schwarzenegger that contains information about all three facets of his public life. The unified topic acts as an information hub, making it easy to find and contribute information about him regardless of what kind of information it is.

Fix something broken? e.g. Google Transit for Vancouver replacing i-Move

Or build something brand new?

So, the concept is simple:

Build out restaurant data through manual input as well as mass import into the Vancouver base on Freebase -- http://vancouver.freebase.com

Make a front end website in Drupal show strips of bacon in the morning, patios in the afternoon, and beer at night - in the spirit of Washington DC's http://stumblesafely.com

Document the data formats, APIs, and applications available so that anyone can import or export the data, as well build their own front ends, widgets, etc.

  9. Outline • Hand Waving • (Policy) • Technology • Community
  10. Not So Fast!
  11. Not So Fast! Who are you?
  12. Not So Fast! Who are you? W! e NE tiv rac Inte ssion se at!! form
  13. Not So Fast! Who are you? W! e NE tiv rac What do you want to get Inte ssion se at!! out of this? form

  15. Hand Waving
  16. (Policy)
  17. (Policy) • Washington DC,Vancouver
  18. (Policy) • Washington DC,Vancouver • recovery.gov, data.gov
  19. (Policy) • Washington DC,Vancouver • recovery.gov, data.gov • …your business / community / village / city / country?
  20. “Just” Open • Have to download / import data • Pure robot food - still needs programmers to make it play nice with humans Washington DC
  21. Open Data
  22. Open Data • Much higher understanding of open source
  23. Open Data That’s software I can use for free, right? • Much higher understanding of open source
  24. Open Data That’s software I can use for free, right? • Much higher understanding of open source
  25. Open Data That’s software I can use for free, right? • Much higher understanding of open source • Next: keep data open
  26. Open Data That’s software I can use for free, right? • Much higher understanding of open source • Next: keep data open • Closed silos in social networks, businesses, government
  27. Open Data That’s software I can use for free, right? • Much higher understanding of open source • Next: keep data open • Closed silos in social networks, businesses, government
  28. Technology, Licensing, and Attitude
  29. Technology, Licensing, and Attitude • Technology: use standard formats, APIs
  30. Technology, Licensing, and Attitude • Technology: use standard formats, APIs • Licensing: need flexible licensing - wrong license can taint data and make it hard to re-use
  31. Technology, Licensing, and Attitude • Technology: use standard formats, APIs • Licensing: need flexible licensing - wrong license can taint data and make it hard to re-use • Attitude: our data is not our business model
  32. Public Data Sets “ You've read, or can imagine, the impact that the first Public Libraries had on human culture. Now imagine the opening up of not just this, but other libraries of data, so huge that economies of scale blast the project off beyond any analogy that could be drawn with our everyday experience or historical memories. It won't just be Amazon that offers up this kind of data - it will be relatively commonplace soon, we imagine. It will be like a network of libraries - for robots. Robots that go to the library frequently, read very fast and make ” serious use of what they've learned. – Read Write Web, Feb 2009
  33. Technology
  34. Technology
  35. Technology • Semantic Web
  36. Technology • Semantic Web • Linked Data
  37. Technology • Semantic Web • Linked Data
  38. Technology • Semantic Web • Linked Data • RDFa, Microformats, etc.
  39. Technology • Semantic Web • Linked Data • RDFa, Microformats, etc.
  40. “ …just what RDFa is supposed to be: human readable data, formatting data and machine readable data all in the same document, all inline, all describing the same thing. ” - Ben Lavender / Stéphane Corlosquet http://tr.im/RDFaDrupalYouTube http://tr.im/RDFaInDrupal
  41. Robot Food • Humans create the content • Tools make it more easily digestable by marking it up auto- magically • Enables re-use
  42. Creative Commons has a flavor • http://wiki.creativecommons.org/RDFa
  43. Freebase • Structured data - started with Wikipedia • Browse / search / filter - then create/edit (addictive!) • Data modeling • Build apps
  44. Freebase
  45. Community • Let’s learn together • We learn better by doing • Real projects!
  46. Community • Let’s learn together • We learn better by doing to n bar • Real projects! d a se… Fin rai

  65. • Simple concept • Build out restaurant data using Freebase as central data store • Make a front end website • Document the data formats, APIs, and applications
  66. Economic Incentive
  67. Economic Incentive • BLOG
  68. Economic Incentive • BLOG • = Better Listings On Google
  69. Economic Incentive • BLOG • = Better Listings On Google • Semantic just beginning to influence search - Google, Yahoo Search Monkey
  70. Economic Incentive • BLOG • = Better Listings On Google • Semantic just beginning to influence search - Google, Yahoo Search Monkey • Add more data, it gets shown on the map
  71. Economic Incentive • BLOG Lindemans Pecheresse on • = Better Listings On sale Google • Semantic just beginning to influence search - Google, Yahoo Search Monkey • Add more data, it gets shown on the map
  72. • Make a blog post and announce a meetup • Gather some tech, policy, hand waving • (try to) build community
  73. • Different ingredients needed • Communities and projects are made out Turns out this is barn raising, too of PEOPLE - barn raising quilts
  74. • Different ingredients needed • Communities and projects are made out Turns out this is barn raising, too of PEOPLE - barn raising quilts …we got busy
  75. Open Restaurants • http://openrestaurants.org • Still experimenting with Freebase schemas • Maybe we can kill some Flash based restaurant sites? • Stay tuned…
  76. Open Restaurants • http://openrestaurants.org • Still experimenting with Freebase schemas • Maybe we can kill some Flash based restaurant sites? • Stay tuned… Personal goal: lunch specials in an N block radius
  77. Have I Convinced you?
  78. Have I Convinced you? • Policy: Think about your attitude and licensing around data
  79. Have I Convinced you? • Policy: Think about your attitude and licensing around data • Technology: Check out semantic web
  80. Have I Convinced you? • Policy: Think about your attitude and licensing around data • Technology: Check out semantic web • Community: Build one, or build with one
  81. Have I Convinced you? • Policy: Think about your attitude and licensing around data • Technology: Check out semantic web • Community: Build one, or build with one Hand waving is fun!
