  • View Article  Rules of Database App Aging

    Peter Harkins, at his blog Push CX, suggests "Three rules for data base creation and management":

    1. All Fields Become Optional

    2. All Relationships Become Many-to-Many

    3. Chatter Always Expands



    View Article  Ver 1.0 kicks off. Statician George Duncan opening speaker.
    Late this afternoon, the 20 participants in Ver 1.0 will be gathering at the Inn of the Governors in Santa Fe, NM for the first session of the workshop.  The first, set-the-tone speaker is George Duncan, professor of statistics at Carnegie Mellon University.  George will be speaking on "Statistical Confidentiality: What Does It Mean for Journalists’ Use of Public Databases?"

    We will post George's address as soon as possible, along with those of other participants in coming days.

    We are very pleased with high-powered thinkers who are in or coming to Santa Fe to address the major problem of how do we verify the data in public records databases.  The proceedings of the workshop will, we hope, be published by the end of the month and also available online.
