From Open Data to Open Engineering to Open Power
Robert David Steele, Earth Intelligence Network, London, 22 April 2016
Plan of the Brief
24 Slides, 24 Minutes
• Open Data
– Getting from 1% to 100%
– Tools for Data Sharing & Sense-Making
• Open Engineering
– 9 Sub-Categories, 27 Priority Projects
– Achieving the SDG Goals within the Decade
• Open Power
– Governing the Commons – Eight Data Tribes
– Saving Civilization – Five Data-Driven Specifics
Open Data
• Getting from 1% to 100%
– Let’s be serious about accessing ALL data
– Let’s be serious about information pathologies
– Let’s be serious about man-machine options
• Tools for Data Sharing & Sense-Making
– We need a local to global geospatial foundation
– We need eighteen specific tools in one package
– We need eight specific advances in data science
DATA PATHOLOGIES
THE CURE
• Forbidden Knowledge
• Manufacturing Consent
• Missing Information
• Fog Facts
• Propaganda
• Rule by Secrecy
• Weapons of Mass Deception
Integrity
• Lost History
Poor Foundations for Open Data Exploitation
Open Engineering
• Sub-Categories, 27 Priority Projects
– Let’s agree on Open Source Everything
– Eco-Hacking builds on and goes beyond data
– $500 per person to create peace & prosperity?
• Achieving the SDG Goals within the Decade
– 5B poor have 4X income of 1B rich
– True cost economics is the next big data leap
– Need to get past current money-data disconnect

REAL WORLD
- Hand to Mouth
-- Barter, Theft
-- Subsistence
Ethics is an Operating System
