The document discusses plans for an open government project to create a transparent and accessible system for tracking federal spending through recovery efforts using semantic web and linked open data technologies. Key aspects include exposing financial and award data in multiple formats, modeling financial and project lifecycles as concepts, integrating data from multiple sources using graph databases, and leveraging open source tools and crowdsourcing to build reusable components and dashboards.

1. recovery.gov Open Gov TPC SA Overview

2. web scale REST (ROA, WOA) Web page = Web Service XHTML+RDFa markup for people and machines resource as public record global visibility and persistence of URI's Atom as RESTful API introspection service for feed resource discovery HTTP uniform interface CRUD analog - PUT/GET/POST/DELETE <entry> as recordset </entry> resource state event atom+xml and xhtml+xml representations Caching, Crawling and Indexing Web = DB Linked Open Data SPARQL endpoints, XHTML+RDFa

3. expose data four ways

4. manual reporting entities

5. automated reporting entities

6. put XHTML+RDFa in Atom <content>

7. add FFATA datasources to LOD cloud

8. track the dollar instead of the person

9. federated SOR graph DB integration

10. data modeling domain concepts lifecycle of the dollar stabilization stimulus recovery growth kinds of awards grants loans contracts milestones cost performance schedule financial lifecycle taxonomy ARRA tax and fiscal relief infrastructure science health education and training energy awardees primes federal subprimes state local business

11. open crowd sourcing Open Source Ref Architecture and Ref Implementations Web/App/DB servers and UI widgets Atom syn/pub servers and feed aggregators 'composite application' service host containers JEE, OSGi, LAMP impl's of RPC/REST API's 'continuous integration' toolsets automating build/test/deploy SNS + SCCM TPC apps blogs, wikis, forums, voting, whatever... leverage and augment existing LAMP/JEE OS tools Data integration Graph DB's for emergent 'axiomatic bridges'

12. dashboard widgetry MIT Simile Exhibits strong filter/sort view widget cohesion integrated across timeline, timechart, other ajax with XML or JSON data Google spreadsheet as Atom feed or JSON dataset widgets as feed/page client/consumer - just another service components structured transform 'Javascript On Demand' callbacks CSS controlled look and feel use your fav WYSIWYG editor local transcoding Semantic Mediawiki,RDF/XML, JSON, HTML don't expect to create the greatest dashboard ever, crowdsource this too with open data!
