Government Website Improvements 06/10/2008

Government web sites have been a joke for almost as long as there have been web sites. They tend to be slow, clunky, and far behind their private-sector counterparts. All three presidential candidates have signaled that they want the federal government to make better use of the Internet, but there is a real danger that the next administration will simply add another coat of lipstick to a very ugly pig. A new paper from researchers at Princeton University suggests a different strategy. The focus should be on providing raw public data such as regulatory decisions, Congressional votes, and campaign finance data in open, structured formats such as RSS and XML. This raw data would be made freely and publicly available to anyone who wanted it and could be used for any purpose. complete article

Who Owns Content? 05/13/2008

PC Mag takes on the question of who owns content, especially where RSS Feeds are concerned: Every day people put virtual truckloads of information into the public domain. Books are published. Newspapers printed. A lot of that ends up on the Internet as well, along with the words of bloggers and other online denizens. All of these people make content public so that others can hopefully benefit from it. Once it is out in the public domain, who owns it? Well, the author of course, or in some cases, their employers. That makes sense when we're talking about a web Wage. But sometimes, in order to make it easier for people to find and read the information, it is delivered as an RSS feed. RSS breaks down the information into article-sized chunks and streams it out so that news-reading tools can grab it and display it for users.
