Thoughts on Citability

Over this weekend (9 – 11th April) I watched on Ustream the Citability CODEATHON. I already knew about Citability​.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 citability​.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.

offline

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 cafe 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.
