This standard defines topology, functions, and governance for cloud-to-cloud interoperability and federation. Topological elements include clouds, roots, exchanges (which mediate governance between clouds), and gateways (which mediate data exchange between clouds). Functional elements include name spaces, presence, messaging, resource ontologies (including standardized units of measurement), and trust infrastructure. Governance elements include registration, geo-independence, trust anchor, and potentially compliance and audit. T 
The UN’s International Telecommunication Union creates a new group focused on standardising cloud computing. 
The Center for Internet and Society, along with the Stanford Law and Technology Association (SLATA), and the Stanford Technology Law Review (STLR) bring together four scholars who have begun to examine the near term, short term, and long term ramifications of artificial intelligence for law and society. 
The cloud has the capacity to make lives easier for many of us, including the smallest of businesses. But to achieve that requires us to take many different policy areas and really test them to make sure they are as cloud-compatible as they can be. So these elements, and more besides, will all be appearing in our comprehensive cloud strategy – due out before the summer. NKOS recently reported that ISO 25964-1, the new international standard for thesauri and interoperability, has recently been published and supersedes the well-worn ISO 2788 and ISO 5964. We learned of this in the press release titled “New international thesaurus standard published,” found on the NKOS site. The full title is Information and documentation -- Thesauri and interoperability with other vocabularies -- Part 1: Thesauri for information retrieval. As well as covering monolingual and multilingual thesauri, it addresses 21st-century needs for data sharing and is another step in support of the Semantic Web. 
Raleigh City Council passed an Open Source Government Resolution, unanimously, promoting the use of open source software and open data. The resolution includes language that puts open source software on the same playing field as proprietary software in the procurement process. It also establishes an open data catalog to house data available from the city. 
Big Data is going to be huge. Here's why Open Innovation holds the key to unlocking its potential. 
Cloud Computing is the ideal technology to underpin this shift, not just because it offers the core tool of virtualization to enable sharing of infrastructure, but also because ‘Enterprise Cloud Providers‘ will emerge to fill the role of the shared service provider and through making the right investments will help facilitate and accelerate this outsourcing trend. 
The Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) Technical Committee recently formed by OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards), the not-for-profit open standards consortium, along... While sharing solutions and aggregating buying power to be more effective in the market is a great idea, I remain skeptical about why a government entity should venture into the technology service provider space, unless its core business “is” to provide technology services. 
#opendata with subtitles | Universal Subtitles... One of the pillars of open and transparent government is open government data and information. The Open Government Information and Data Re-use Work Programme is focusing on this pillar of open and transparent government. It is a collaborative programme with users, the open data community, and suppliers. We use the opennz wiki for discussion on the programme and policies. 
There’s also clearly a disconnect between what federal agencies want and need, and what cloud vendors can provide. SafeGov.org believes there should be “more pragmatic” approach to cloud migration mandates. Given an extended time frame, cloud services are bound to mature, and subsequently, the OMB’s initial mandate can be met, but likely at a later date. |
"This work is the result of the consultation, carried out by the authors in 2010, as a result of the exploratory field work that was conducted in order to shape the so-called Iberoamerican Interoperability Framework (Marco Iberoamericano de Interoperabilidad MII), promoted by the Latin American Centre of Administration for Development (Centro Latinoamericano de Administración para el Desarrollo CLAD). In particular, the article presents several data related to technological issues and, therefore, to the technical and semantic dimensions of interoperability. It looks deeply into important themes such as data and information, semantics, open software, regulation, or security. Finally, it presents the authors' reflections on how to enhance technical interoperability in the region." 
The talk will quickly overview the spread of transparency policy through freedom of information regulation, and point out to the rise of 'Open Government Data' as the latest chapter of the transparency story, highlighting how it potentially may impact 'open accountability' and the rise of a new breed of online watchdogs.
