I ran across Peter Brown’s keynote presentation at TMRA 2008 this morning while looking for something else.
You will see why I paused as soon as you load the slides. 😉
Having the advantage of three years to think about the issues Peter raises, I think part of his conclusion:
It’s my world – I want to organize it around what is important for me, not you.
Is spot on.
I mention it because the tenth anniversary of 9/11 approaches and the U.S. intelligence agencies are still organizing their data around what is important to them, the number 1 goal being to increase the importance and budget allocation of their agency over others.
Still, if you can see it, you can map it and having mapped it, merge data with your own. I won’t ask how you got it.
