Editor's Notes
- #12 The City SDK is an open data Platform-based on the Census API. What makes it a “Platform” is its ability to promote interaction among data consumers and producers. Cities and communities provide context or the opportunity for services, innovation, and social good. The interaction created among data producers and consumers is characteristic of a growing ecosystem involving academia, industry, innovation hubs, and other open government data sources and initiatives. The Federal data supply chain is changing. Prior focus was about releasing high value data sets – ideally through API’s. Federal agencies like the Census Bureau continue to focus on data dissemination and making our open data discoverable and useable. What we are finding out is that the “scaling” of our dissemination and value creation process is enabled by the market through new business models. The emerging integration of data networks with socioeconomic data networks is leading to new value creation in cities and communities.
- #14 A little more about the BDHubs. In September, NSF announced four awards totaling more than $5 million to establish regional hubs for data science innovation. The consortia are coordinated by top data scientists at Columbia University (Northeast Hub), Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of North Carolina (South Hub), the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Midwest Hub) and the University of California, San Diego, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Washington (West Hub). Covering all 50 states, they include commitments from more than 250 organizations--from universities and cities to foundations and Fortune 500 corporations--with the ability to expand further over time. The organizational structure for each BD Hub varies by region. Some are organized into standing sub committees and task forces, others into flexible working groups. You see on this map not only the Hub coordinators, but also the organizations leading the subcommittes and sub divisions of each Hub.
- #18 Develop clear indicators for broadband access, adoption and use that allow for comparison and evaluation by communities across the country with different demographics, geographies and income Spur community mobilization around broadband improvements that increase competition, reduce costs, improve service and expand access and use Support communities with technical assistance and other resources as they plan and execute broadband projects Foster a stronger national community of practice among policymakers and officials working on broadband
