Presentation on sharing of open data held for the Norwegian government's "Forum for Large Public Web Sites", early in June 2009, soon after Data.gov went live. The talk was in Norwegian, but the PPT actually contains more English than Norwegian text...
My presentation to "Transparency Camp 09", about how to go beyond transparency to an integrated strategy based on "democratizing data" (structuring and syndicating it and providing social media analysis tools to share it). This integrated strategy will provide transparency, give workers the real-time information they need, reform government regulation, cut corporate paperwork, and crowdsource innovation. It may, or may not, cure the common cold under certain conditions.
A combination of automatic, real-time data feeds from government agencies and new Web 2.0 "data visualization" tools can both increase cooperation and operating efficiency within government, and improve the quality of policy debate and encourage people to become actively involved in offering ideas to improve government. NOTE: best viewed in full-screen mode to read notes.

Democratizing Data to transform gov., business & daily lifeW. David Stephenson
A speech to the Tableau Customer Conference 2009 based on the author's forthcoming "Democratizing Data" book, arguing that a combination of real-time structured data feeds and tools such as the Tableau visualization software can empower entire workforces, cut operating costs, encourage coooperation, and foster crowdsourcing.
This summarizes my concept of a transformation in which data is only entered once (by government, businesses or the public), automatically tagged with metadata, and then flows, preferably on a real-time basis, to anyone who needs it (limited only by their roles), plus tools to use and interpret the data. The results will be new goods & services, transparency, and economical operations!

Abstract
Considering the mutual benefits of blockchain and transhumanism, this essay
proposes crypto cloudminds as a safe mechanism by which the human mind might
transcend its unitary limitations by permissioning partial resources to join a multiparty mind (comprised of human and machine minds) in a cloud-based
environment. Cloudminds could have diverse purposes including problem solving
(addressing future-of-work issues with Maslow Smart Contracts), learning,
experience, exploration, innovation, artistic expression, and other personal
development activities. Crypto cloudminds could be multicurrency, operating with
payment remuneration, security, and (especially) ideas as the denominations of
measure. For thriving in the future, mind node peers could enter “Yes-and”
Payment Channels with one another for collaborative idea development. For
surviving in the future, good-player behavior could be game-theoretically enforced
with the simultaneous privacy-transparency property of blockchains, together with
the immutable peer-confirmed consensus algorithm and audit-log checks and
balances system. Overall, blockchains might serve as an institutional technology
that is the basis for treaties and progress in a multi-species society of human,
algorithm, and machine, guiding the way to positive transhuman futures.

"Hodepine 2.0" - Enterprise 2.0 for virksomhetsarkitekter, presentert på Soft...Stian Danenbarger
Det hevdes at alle virksomhetsarkitekter må forholde seg til ”Enterprise 2.0” framover, men midt i all hypen er det ikke lett å få øye på hvilke problemer de nye verktøyene og plattformene egentlig forsøker å løse, og hvilken verdi de er ment å skape. Hvordan skal vi da kunne gjøre bevisste, strategiske valg, og vinne gehør for investering og endring? Kan vi ikke bare fortsette som vi pleier?
"The Curse of the Cloudberry Commons" is about systemic barriers linked to industrial society's value chain thinking and general understanding of value. Frequently used terms like "process modeling", "orchestration", and "return on investment" reveal that the industrial age mindset still pervades the strategic use of IT in both private and public sector. I claim that this limited understanding of value no longer is sustainable, and describe some newer models for understanding value that I find particularly relevant for knowledge-intensive business.
On a few hours notice, due to another presenter's "volcano-cancelled" flight, I was asked to fill an empty slot at the Norwegian GoOpen 2010 conference. On the background of the freshly proposed data.norge.no site, I decided to present a high level motivation for open data and linked open data in context of government, briefly compare and contrast its predecessors, data.gov and data.gov.uk, and suggest a possible middle ground between "anything goes" and "one format only" (in Norwegian).

my talk to 2/12/09 O'Reilly IgniteBoston, emphasizing that passage of economic stimulus package, combined with current economy, is perfect time to introduce data-centric "democratizing data" approach, giving workers, regulators, public, watchdogs real-time access to critical information! Video version: http://tinyurl.com/c9vkjy
In this paper, I talk about three distinct areas: Big Data, Crowdsourcing, and Public Sector. Each of the these areas is vast on its own but through this paper I want to argue that it is the intersection of the three which offers unique and immense possibilities that can truly make the world a better place.
The paper aims at exploring the consequences of the gradually increasing availability of Open Data for evaluation as we know it. Using concepts from the literature on evaluation and democracy, it contends that new technologies both require a new behavior by evaluators and open up possibilities in the very framework in which evaluation is done.
The pressure to open up data changes the way governments and public sector offices conceptualize, produce, and disseminate data. Responding to this demand requires that internal procedures change in fundamental, still partially unexplored ways.
Issues arise also for citizens seeking information. They face a rapid growth of internet-based sources, which both creates opportunities for research and difficulties in assessing data quality, credibility, and usability.
It also implies that public interventions--be they programmes, projects, or services--are open to public scrutiny of a new, more informed type. It increasingly involves expert, non-expert, and differently-expert scrutiny.
It is highly unlikely that Open Data will ever provide all--or even most--information needed for an evaluation. There is a risk that, in addition to opening up new research avenues and framing new evaluation questions by new actors, the availability of great masses of data on public policies obscures the need to directly observe effects and to build credible theories about phenomena.
The very existence of open data, and the possibilities they open up to public scrutiny call into question the role of internal and external evaluators. This is even more so when thinking of the opportunities opened by the ability to conjure collective intelligence in evaluation processes--using concepts already developed in the participation tradition.
The paper explores these themes based on an on-going research project. The two authors are involved in the Open Data movement in Italy and will advance their research during the next months through their work, research on existing literature, and holding workshops (e.g. within the Sapienza Seminar on Classic Evaluation Theorists).

submission to: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Financial_Technology_and_Regulatory_Technology/FinancialRegulatoryTech/Submissions
New and richer flows of data from organizations in the public space could enrich democracy and might improve effectiveness and efficiency. More public knowledge (one definition of "transparency") could stimulate debate about services and money, increase vigilance and arm scrutineers. But more and better data will not in and of itself bring more accountability or improve services. We must not reduce volume of information with better decision making. Data must become information: it must be grasped and absorbed. Information has then to be applied. Accountability and public satisfaction could move together in a virtuous circle, provided the public understands the data proffered; provided those releasing the data themselves understand it and its potential; provided its quality and accuracy are guaranteed.
Open Data prompts questions about public capacity. The government's response to proposed changes in the school curriculum allowing many more young people aged over 16 to continue studying mathematics and stats shows the government itself accepts the public need to be better equipped. Open Data abuts the contention that those leaving education have to be better prepared to deal with data and numbers, for their own sake as employees as well as in their lives as citizens and family builders (dealing with energy tariffs, insurance, pensions and broadband offers). Open Data links with moves to improve the quantitative skills of university graduates.
As important as the volume of data are presentation and "visualization", the discipline of making data more intelligible. In the jargon this means paying attention to metadata and data polishing. It puts emphasis on intermediaries to help the public make sense of data. Statisticians and academics are fond of the term "metadata". This directs attention to the explanatory material that ought to accompany data release. Another missing term is narrative. What the public want is data to tell a story about the performance of schools, crime in their area and so on. Open Data needs to look at who writes and who puts out these stories. Another key term is visualization – covering the many ways in which data, especially quantitative data, can be projected, for example exploiting the graphical resources of the web.
Data release should anticipate the sense the public will make of what is presented and how they might use data. Each department and agency should subject itself to a "data challenge": is the information intelligible? Translating data into information that is fit for public consumption requires good analysis and interpretation, which is lacking in many councils. The question does not capture the dynamism and spirit of opportunity and innovation that ought to accompany data release.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Desktop-applikasjonen ”Google Earth” <http://earth.google.com/> viser hvordan informasjon fra mange kilder og mange ulike bidragsytere kan samles omkring kartposisjoner og presenteres på en attraktiv og brukervennlig måte. Informasjonen framstår som lagdelt, og filtreres av brukeren etter behov. Brukeren kan også selv legge til informasjon i egne lag.
Såkalte ”mashups” <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup_(web_application_hybrid)> er lagvise sammenstillinger av informasjon på web. Også her har mange av sammenstillingene vært basert på kartposisjoner, med utgangspunkt i for eksempel Google Maps <http://maps.google.com/>. Det amerikanske postvesenet tilbyr en tjeneste som konverterer gateadresser til kartposisjoner, og dette var forutsetningen for nettjenesten i eksempelet over < http://www.housingmaps.com> , der rubrikkannonser fra Craigslist <http://sfbay.craigslist.org/> sammenstilles og presenteres geografisk. URLer kan tjene som ”knagger” for liknende sammenstillinger. Se for eksempel <http://www.adaptiveblue.com/>. Mange andre mashup-eksempler: <http://www.programmableweb.com/>
Digitale karttjenester kan også vise hvordan lagene kan presenteres og navigeres i, og hvordan en posisjon kan fungere som ”springbrett” til relatert informasjon. Karttjenestene integrerer store mengder kunnskap, men viser likevel at det er mulig å lage attraktive og brukervennlige grensesnitt for abstrakte konsepter som skifte av perspektiv og navigasjon langs ulike dimensjoner. De har også etablert visuelle konsepter for å ”hoppe opp” fra et informasjonslag til et kunnskapslag, som for eksempel er relevant for emnekartbaserte tjenester.

Sentrale tjenester for et verdinettverk (mediator) for innholdsprodusenter
http://www.sxc.hu/photo/281651 Bloggersfærens mediatortjenester – eksempel på infrastrukturer for deling – allmenninger…! Verdinettverk gir minst verdi for kundene i starten – når de krever mest investering… ROI-antakelser kan bare baseres på sannsynlighet! Bør offentlige allmenninger subsidieres for å komme i gang?
Utdrag fra røff konseptskisse for en tenkt ”NRK-allmenning”, et uformelt forslag der Wikipedia-artikler og –kategorier er tenkt benyttet som delt temastruktur, og innhold ”tagges” med ”autocomplete” mot bl.a. Wikipedia-tema
