Opening city data for citizens has created a wealth of applications that analyze and decipher information into functional performance, operational, and programatic charts, graphs, and metrics. Instead of the government telling you how they are doing, the citizen can find out for themselves. Plus, this has actively reduced FOIA requests for publicly accessible data.

Dude 1: Hey, man what’s up?
Dude 2: Nothin’. Just renewing my Drivers License on the DMV App. Am I really that old? (Texting/Typing 100 wpm)
Dude 1: Yep, you’re OLD! I’ve got to get on the (insert government agency) App and get some work done. Do you have that document you were working on?
Dude 2: Sure. Uh, here it is.
Tap Phones
Dude 1: Cool, thanks.
Dude 2: Oh, man. The boss just pinged me. Looks like she’s around the corner at Blank’s Coffee. (Stands, still Texting/Typing at lightning speed.) Well, to the office.
Dude 1: I’ll tag along. I need some caffeine anyway.

This could be your workday. Pretty nice, right? Mobile Apps could open up a whole new world to how the government does business. Telecommuting would be common, which studies say increases individuals’ community involvement. How else would you get social interaction if you didn’t have to go to work? You could work from anywhere. Quality of life would improve. Pay/Benefits would be a direct correlation of the AMOUNT of work you do, not the amount of time you spend at your cubicle. Productivity goes up, overhead goes down. What will the government do with all of that money they’re saving?

-And citizens will marvel at the service they receive from the bureaucracy that was once drowning in paper. I think Mobile Apps offer what some agencies struggle with: INTEGRATION. Imagine, you can pick out and upload all of the information you need to work (and play) right in the palm of your hand. Dreamy.

Interactive Data Increases Transparency, Access and Constituent Engagement: The XBRL Example

After 10 years of refinement and utilzation as a standard for business reporting, XBRL has proven its scalability, openness and agillity in appllications in Europe and Asia. It is now in the middle of Standard Business Reporting (SBR) intiatives in a number of countries. SBR initiatives ratioanlize federal agency and other regulatory reporting requirements to streamline constituent submissions and cross-agency colllaboration. XBRL has been adopted by the FDIC, SEC and other federal programs in the US. We can discuss how this new, open standard can be of value at the federal, state and local level to meet a variety of legacy needs.

thank-you,
Patrick

Open Linked Data

From finding biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease (http://esw.w3.org/images/d/d0/ISMB2010_Final.pdf) to mining environmental monitoring data (http://data-gov.tw.rpi.edu/demo/exhibit/demo-8-castnet.php), semantic approaches to data modeling are enabling innovation and discovery that make them worth the investment.
