Another area discussed that relates to data is data mining, and the amount of rich data available now. The other side of this coin is data discovery. Not only does this relate to what the govt can uncover, but what it can tap into.
Participation v's Consultation
Participatory web was discussed ie engagement and contribution between people, and utilise the participatory nature of the web to feed into govt processes. Also look at shared decision making processes.
Next was a digression into Multiple Identities and how the govt model should allow pseudonyms and different levels of access and identity.
The next topic to be discussed was the digital divide, accessibility and social inclusion. Topics discussed included how to ensure mums and seniors can access the internet ie participation divide, regional areas and access, the classic standards and how to cover multiple technologies, browsers, iphone. There was also discussion about systems and how they are sometimes not accessible, but there are other options available to access data.
So this is where I got to ....... it was a very interesting time and I was glad and interested to be part of the discussion.
