Transparent Federal budget

• it’s a big dream...

• getting ready for the next generation!

The real reason...I use many pictures of children in this prezo...

because this is the reality of whose system this will be and who will be using it in the future. We have to plan for them and understand the newer generation that is adopting these systems worldwide at an amazing rate.

THe HOW

1.Data - citability.org

2.people - FSN

3.connections - Connect the dots

Citability.org

• Adrian’s slide deck from http://citability.org

Citability.org part 2

• A movement...

Citation

• atomic / unique

• open / Accessible

• Accountable

• permanence

Atomic

• hundreds of pages documents that change frequently

• documentation requires things be citable on a paragraph level just like BOOKS

Unique

• Unique ID makes the internet into a database

• Verifiable

• Searchable on identifier

Accessibility

• URL standard makes it parseable

• markup standards also makes it understandable

• anything a computer reads and understands -> blind can too!

Easy of Use

• human readable

• Example: Http://archive.house.gov/HR1586IH/20030318093016#S1b1cii

• The example would point to section 1, subsection b, chapter 1, paragraph c, clause ii in HR1586 on Mar 18, 2003 at 09:30:16 am UTC

Accountability

• date/time stamp

• hashes - show changes

• end to link rot

permanence

• Date/time stamp

• makes citations VALID

• fights link rot

• makes the internet into Database for a Versioning System

intellectual honesty

• public can watch changes

Reputation

• the website becomes accountable for what it publishes

Open

• WestLaw problem

• Lexus nexus problem

• Open to Everyone - anyone w a free blog account can converse

Websites

• alpha-numeric in background

• table of contents

• Purple numbers

• doesn’t matter just needs to be on paragraph basis (even just count <p> tags!)

Global

• So simple

• it is also global

• most tweets OUTSIDE the US!

How

• drupal ->

• already does pretty URLs (most CMS do)

• quickfix ->

• 2 lines of javascript

• one DNS redirect for archive.house.gove

• archive server scrapes and formats

Next step

• Drupal Codeathon in Paris

• fundraise 25K to have archive server software created for archive.org

• NYSenate.gov is done in drupal

• recovery.gov is done in drupal

• HINT HINT!

Step 2: FSN

• free and open source social network

• allows groups to have private Social network

• aggregate persona for reputation

replacement

• studies show people do not join more than 1 or 2 social networks

• who has time to deal with that much communication?

• how to solve that problem?

My aggregate persona

• Legislative liaison for ACLU

• Legislative liaison for EFF

• Board of directors for texas Assoc of Nonprofit Organization

• founder of league of technical Voters

• Linked in profile

Reputation

• check and see who I am

later...

• look at your profile

• look at others profiles

• calculated % chance you will agree with them

• make up your own mind!

next step?

• talking with several businesses interested in business model

• business own their data instead of facebook

• DNC - solves networking issues among competitive groups

Step 3: Connect the dots

5 Paragraphs in telecom bill

banning Muni Wi-FI

5 permalinks done Citability.org style for those paragraphs in the texas Telecom Bill Senate Bill 5 Title Section Subsection Chapter Paragraph

http://archive.house.us.tx/178legislature/SB5IH/20040521120000#SB5IH5B3b2ii

Senator 2

Senator 1 Senator 4

Senator 3

Senate Subcommitee

scraped from the Texas legislature site - again can be sited w advanced permalinks and date time stamped for when committees change

Sen 4

Sen 3

Sen 2Sen 1

Sub-committee

5 Paragraphsbanning WiFI

An individual can make this BLUE link or we can derive it from the fact that this bill is assigned to this sub-committee or from sponsorships - the point is this link can be fuzzy and doesn’t have to be sponsor only but can be verifiable with Advanced permalink style citations (and parser doesn’t have to do all the work)

Donor1 for 100K

Senator 1

Someone can add their data to the database like maplight. maplight also implements advanced permalinks ala citability.org and therefore their work becomes citable (and they become responsible for validity)

Donor3

Donor2

Donor1

SBC Board of Directors

Donor5

Another group adds the information to the database. Again using advanced permalinks ala citability they then become responsible for the validity of the information

SBC

Sen 4Subcommittee

5 paragraphs

Senator 1 has 425K from SBC

related interests

anyone can come in a make the BLUE connections to show a POSSIBLE path of influence. with the FOSSN we can calculate the percentage chance you will think this is accurate based on your social network of people and groups. In other words if you believe theworkforyou, maplight, the government there is a greater chance you will agree with this pathway. Also we allow individuals to vote on this. So if a bunch of your friends vote it as important it is more likely to show up on your profile as something to check out.

Any piece of info

every piece of data not just the atomic citable datacircles but the CONNECTIONS have information connected to it. These help in the calculations of percentage chance of relevance.
