My contribution is on Page 65 where I welcome you to the Empathy Economy. A short story dedicated to my Mum, Joan Hardman who for the first 16 years of my life, until we lost her to cancer, gave me all I needed to become the Global Changemaker I am today.

My Golden Nugget is on Page 98 ...it explains the mission of the Empathy Economy

"Be the change you want to see in the world then we will create a world founded on inclusion, a world where we leave no one behind"

I've tagged some of my fellow authors, up to the limit LinkedIn allows, get the book to find out what we and all the rest have to say. Show less

This new BSI standard articulates the 8 barriers to data interoperability in Smart Cities. It is is the first standard to provide guidance on both the data from a Smart City and the Built Environment can be utilised by cities to move towards a shared data agenda, the next level of maturity for the use of data in a Smart City.
It also includes guidance on how the sector adopts the changes required for the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation in May 2018. This is the first… Show more

PAS 182 Smart city concept model. Guide to establishing a model for data tackles the barriers to implementing smart city concepts, including the interoperability of systems and data-sharing between agencies.
The PAS has been developed around concepts from the public sector concept model (PSCM), aimed at providing the basis of interoperability at the upper ontology level and outlines details of the smart city concept model (SCCM).
The standard establishes an interoperability framework for smart cities in which:
Information can be shared and understood between organizations and people at each level
The derivation of data in each layer can be linked back to data in the previous layer (i.e. the assumptions upon which a decision was taken)
The impact of a decision can be observed back in operational data
The smart city concept model (SCCM) provides a framework that can normalize and classify information from many sources so that data sets can be discovered and combined to gain a better picture of the needs and behaviours of a city’s citizens (residents and businesses).
The SCCM does not replace existing models where they exist, but by simple mapping from a local model to a parent model, questions can be asked about data in a new and joined-up way.
PAS 182 is aimed at organizations that provide services to communities in cities, and manage the resulting data, as well as decision-makers and policy developers in cities. Show less

This year's focus is on the relationship of individual with their networks, and explores "Social networks and social machines, surveillance and empowerment". In what is now the well-established tradition of the yearbook, different stakeholders in society and various disciplinary communities (technology, law, philosophy, sociology, economics, policymaking) bring their very different opinions and perspectives to bear on this topic.

The book is divided into four parts: the individual as data manager; the individual, society and the market; big data and open data; and new approaches. These are bookended by a Prologue and an Epilogue, which provide illuminating perspectives on the discussion in between. The division of the book is not definitive; it suggests one narrative, but others are clearly possible.

The 2014 Digital Enlightenment Yearbook gathers together the science, law and politics of the digital environment in order to help us reformulate and address the timely and pressing questions which this new environment raises. We are all of us affected by digital technology, and the subjects covered here are consequently of importance to us all. Show less

The idea of the journo-coder, programmer-journalist, hacker-journalist, journo-programmer (the terminology is undecided) is gaining ground as data journalism develops both in Britain and internationally.

The idea of the journo-coder, programmer-journalist, hacker-journalist, journo-programmer (the terminology is undecided) is gaining ground as data journalism develops both in Britain and internationally. Programmers are coming into newsrooms, journalists are venturing further into programming and there is some blurring where the two meet. Data journalism (DJ) is certainly becoming the Big Buzz Story in the media but so far little has been written about it. This new, jargon-free text, edited by John Mair and Richard Lance Keeble (with Teodora Beleaga and Paul Bradshaw), provides an original and thought-provoking insight into DJ. The first section, with contributions from Teodora Beleaga and Simon Rogers. explores various definitions of DJ; in another, experts, such as Paul Bradshaw, Nicola Hughes, Daniel Ionescu and Pupul Chatterjee provide some useful tips on developing DJ skills. � Tom Felle interviews a group of international data journalists and finds they all argue their work can play a crucial democratic role in holding the powerful to account � Andy Dickinson wonders if the growing field of sensor journalism offers an insight into what comes next for DJ � Jacqui Taylor, Bella Hurrell and John Walton focus on data visualisations � �ndrew Rininsland argues that anyone "willing to learn D3 will find they are given an unparalleled ability to create visualisations that bring data alive" � Arthur Lashmar shows how an international consortium of journalists used DJ skills to expose the use of offshore tax havens by the world's rich and famous Other chapters are provided by Chris Frost, Liz Hannaford, Jonathan Hewett, Gabriel Keeble-Gagn�re, Damian Radcliffe, Yaneng Feng, Qian Li and John Burn-Murdoch.

FOI laws are important in democracy because they guarantee the 'right to know'. It exists in more than 90 countries and helps to expose corruption and maladministration, and assures transparency in public decision making. But problems persist, with hard-won access to government secrets compromised by 'gaming' of FOI; wide increases in national security exemptions; political interference; and journalists misusing the Act for fishing expeditions and as a source for an easy headline. 10 years after the Freedom of Information Act was introduced in the UK, has it freed journalists to expose the dark secrets of our society or has it just been an excuse for lazy journalism?

Edited by Tom Felle and John Mair

Contributors include Peter Preston, former editor, the Guardian; former BBC correspondent Nicholas Jones; Charles N Davis, University of Georgia, USA; Canadian 'FOI Warrior' Ken Rubin; and the BBC's Martin Rosenbaum.
