This PLDN presentation (in Dutch) gives an introduction on the main concepts of Linked Data and of the activities of the open network community Platform Linked Data Netherlands (PLDN). This presentation was used during the Jaarcongres ECP on November 14th at the Fokker Terminal in The Hague at the PLDN information booth.
XBOX Live allows NHL 10 players to interact online, sending messages and game invites, but lacks censorship so inappropriate language may be encountered. While reputation and blocking systems exist, reputation submissions may not always be accurate. Online play in NHL 10 connects players worldwide for realistic team-based matchups and includes modes like shootouts, but requires a paid XBOX Live subscription. The game offers value for hockey fans through its realistic gameplay, customization options, and online community features.
This document appears to be related to an educational institution in Spain called I.E.S. Santa Bárbara. I.E.S. is likely an acronym for the type of school, possibly a secondary school. The only other information provided is the name of the school, Santa Bárbara, which provides no other context about the purpose or content of the document.
Partnership Preparatory is a school located in Santa Barbara, California. The school's full name is I.E.S. Santa Bárbara, which stands for Instituto de Educación Secundaria Santa Bárbara. This document provides the name and location of the school in Santa Barbara, California.
This document discusses implementing the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) standard among Dutch nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). It notes that while two Dutch NGOs have committed to publishing to the IATI standard soon, more needs to be done to promote adoption. This includes demonstrating what can be done with IATI data using platforms like Openaid.nl, Akvo, and OpenSpending. The document also stresses the importance of addressing CSO concerns about the IATI standard, such as how it handles exclusion policies, specific CSO needs, and the costs of implementation.

Open development aims to make development activities more transparent, participative and effective by applying open knowledge and information and communication technologies. It involves using open data, open government data, and linked open data to increase transparency and accountability in areas like international development, aid, and governance. The document discusses open data at iWeeks events and explores open data concepts and tools as well as wrapping up open development applications.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Making meditation a part of a daily routine, even if just 10-15 minutes per day, can offer improvements to mood, focus, and overall feelings of well-being over time.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
This document provides guidance on how to get started with open data initiatives. It recommends choosing existing data sets to publish that are easy to share and do not have privacy or security issues. It also suggests applying an open license, making the data available in a common format through an API or database dump, and ensuring the data is discoverable by linking to it from your website and open data registries. Key principles include keeping it simple, engaging stakeholders early, addressing common concerns, and making open formats part of IT projects.

Presentatie bij de Open for Change meet-up vrijdag 18 maart 2011 bij Akvo/International Water House, over de rol die we zien voor een eigen registry en distribution van Open for Change, de relatie tot andere repositories zoals de IATI registry, en het tijdpad in relatie tot de Resultatenrapportage.
Open Data for Campaigning (remixed version of "Open data campaigning camp - introduction and history" by Tim Davies for Open Data for Campaigning Camp, http://www.slideshare.net/timdavies/open-data-campaigning-camp-introduction-and-history ), presented at re:campaign with "Getting started with Open Data" http://www.slideshare.net/rolfkleef/getting-startedwithopendata
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow and levels of neurotransmitters and endorphins which elevate and stabilize mood.
Vigilance refers to keeping careful watch to avoid potential dangers or issues. For organizations, it means monitoring employee activities to promote integrity and honesty. Vigilance is important to curb unethical behaviors by individuals that can waste resources and damage an organization's reputation. It helps discipline wrongdoers, protect honest employees, increase transparency, and foster a culture of honesty. Vigilance functions are carried out through preventative measures like simplifying rules, improving accountability, and educating employees, as well as reactive investigations and disciplinary actions in response to detected corruption. It is a management tool that can improve organizational performance, efficiency, and effectiveness.

The document discusses online collaboration tools and sites that tap into collective wisdom. It provides examples like Map Kibera and Ushahidi that allow crowdsourcing information. It also discusses tools for adversary collaboration like Ushahidi SwiftRiver and WikiSweeper. The document recommends designing collaboration solutions that are simple with loosely connected tools. It advocates for prioritizing purpose, community and process over specific technologies. An effective design focuses on engaging participants and connecting to the real world.
The Partos IATI programme aims to implement IATI within Dutch NGOs over two years. It provides helpdesk support and workshops to help 25 initial NGOs publish their data to the IATI standard in two batches. The goal is to embed open data practices within these organizations. Several NGOs discuss their experiences implementing IATI and insights it provided into their projects in Afghanistan and Congo. Questions remain around costs and data quality, but the standard itself is not seen as a major issue with better documentation and guidelines.
The document discusses opening up government data by choosing existing data sets to publish openly, applying an appropriate open license, and making the data available and discoverable by linking to it from websites and open data registries. It provides guidance on applying open licenses, selecting proper data formats, and principles for engaging stakeholders and keeping data sharing efforts simple. The overall goal is to build an open data movement by organizing hackathons and innovation networks and appointing dataset owners.

Looking back: open data for development campRolf Kleef
Over 127 people attended the two-day Open Data for Development Camp held in May 2011 in Amsterdam. The event saw over 1700 chat messages and 450 emails exchanged during its planning and saw 9 data sets and apps presented, with 6 sets of data released for the first time and 4 applications and APIs built. The Dutch government expressed its commitment to transparency and innovation using open data and there was an aim to increase cooperation between the government and NGOs on these issues through connecting actors and international networking.
The document provides guidance on opening up organizational data through an open data program. It recommends choosing existing data sets to publish, applying an open license, making the data available and discoverable on the web through various technical means, and establishing principles like keeping it simple and engaging stakeholders. The end goal is to organize an "innovative movement" by building networks of developers and innovators around openly published data sets.
