Smart Data - but how about information, knowldege, shared practival wisdom?
Smart Data [link] was yesterday
tomorrow I will report about the TREND KONGRESS: create innovate.grow www.bitkom-trendkongress.de
so I feel this is a very hot issue, talking with leading policy and industry people about central societal and futuristic matters,functions, features, benefits, impacts and proportions and consequences GLocally. *******
Very busy as always in November, so please check the links, check the videos, and maybe come back.
The whole theme is like a deja vue for me. Meta-Data and Information, Applications, Noise and Volumes were on my desk for 30+years, so was the need to visualize and participate, deliberate, negotiate, decide, ....
I feel that the paper adressing massive problems and dialog and decision making issues, a paper we did with Reynaldo and Bethania has been just hitting the streets, so check it out: [link]

Collecting, Framing, Negotiating, and Connecting in Times of a GLocal (1) “Problematique” (2).
A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO COPE WITH GLOBAL CHALLENGES (3)
Heiner Benking, Reynaldo Treviño Cisneros, Bethania Arango Hisijara
1 GLocal: a neologism describing the linkages of effects across scales. One source was calling the dimension magnitudes: micro-meso-macro cosmos. The Scientific Director of the Global Change exhibition, Dr. Manfred Lange called this “depth” of a “possibility” space “GLocal” in early 1990. See Wikipedia [link] and Pointers to possibilities: Ekistics, Dymaxion World and Eco-Cube, [link]
2 The „Global Problematique“ and „Predicament of Mankind“ or the central titles of the original reports leading to the formation of the Club of Rome in the late 60ies. This article refers to this early work originated by Erich Jantsch, Hasan Oezbekhan, Alexander Christakis. We recommend the interviews with Christakis by the author in Europe’s World: Learnings and Vistas based on revisiting 40 years "Global Problematique" - summing up 40 years "Predicament of Mankind" (Club of Rome early report), look-outs, and new forms of structured dialog and deliberation / decision cultures in an Interview with Alexander Christakis, and The Predicament of the Individual, Communities, and Humankind in the 21st Century - Deliberations about Structured Dialogic Design, Systems Thinking, Policy-Making, Multi-track Diplomacy, Empowerment and the Wisdom of the People.
3 The authors have been aware of the Millennium Project since the mid 90ies and have independently considered the “15 Global Challenges to Humanity” [link] as an ideal collection to which to apply the Structured Dialogic Design Process (SDDP), presented here and developed further by the 21st Century Agora Institute. In APPENDIX A we provide more details about the Millennium Project, the Global Futures Intelligence System - GFIS the Union of International Associations - UIA and their Yearbooks and Encyclopedia, the MDGs and more. Have a look.

OLD ENTRY - FOR THE RECORDS and "Search machines"
At the Orthodox Academy in Crete this September a session was designed to provide some insight into dialogue design for tackling GLocal Issues.
