Thoughts on Citability

by

Over this week­end (9 – 11th April) I watched on Ustream the Cit­ab­il­ity CODEATHON. I already knew about Cit​ab​il​ity​.org from Silona Bone­wald (@Silona on twit­ter), but the codea­thon (from an spec­tator point of view) was very inter­est­ing as both dis­cus­sions and prototypes.

What is cit​ab​il​ity​.org?
Cit­ab­il­ity sup­ports mak­ing pub­lic gov­ern­ment doc­u­ments and data avail­able online and cit­able such that they can be eas­ily ref­er­enced for pub­lic debate, com­ment­ary and ana­lysis. This requires that archived ver­sions of doc­u­ments be stored and link­able so that changes can be eas­ily spot­ted and ref­er­ence links remain intact.

I have been quite pre­oc­cu­pied lately… so I haven’t pos­ted in a while; I might be adding a few back­posts start­ing with this one.

Well, I was one month off­line (check­ing mail in an inter­net café does not count, E-​mail is asynchronous); before that month a lot of things hap­pen at light­ning speed, chro­no­lo­gic­ally ordered: leav­ing Grapefruit, fin­ish­ing my mas­ters degree (Com­pu­ta­tional Lin­guist­ics, at the Fac­ulty of Com­puter Sci­ence, “A.I.Cuza” Uni­ver­sity of Iasi), and then a one-​month hol­i­day which was split between two loc­a­tions, Crete and Transylvania.
