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.
