Hi guys, we are launching an open project named Holopolis (meaning Hololens + Polis)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/17-TZX-A6ysES5VLb18kv2jmWqajkYURRZacmyQ5fPgk
to enhance deliberation process with the help of shared reality technology.

Welcome to shoot me with your bad experience in deliberation and how imaginatively vr/mr/ar/sr could solve that. 🙌

Hello, I am a student interested in open data. I have a question to ask. Working with open data is not always the easiest thing. The data may lack clarity. For example, the names given to the column may be confusing and ambiguous. What would be the best way to tackle such situation?
with kindness and respect, i would say that defining reality is confusing and ambiguous (and contentious) so expect this issue to persist! ❤️ and sorry for not being more helpful. Look for data dictionaries, read metadata, and reach out to data authors.
@lizbarry thank you. I was looking around to see if I could do something on open data interoperability for my thesis but I dont even know where to begin.
I agree with Liz's recommendation. While the following post might be a bit off topic, you might find the following explanation of how I do some types of open data work helpful --> http://devinbalkind.com/2016/01/29/creating-a-shared-data-model-with-a-spreadsheet/
@reshma
there are some evolving standards
around something called "Data Packages": http://frictionlessdata.io/data-packages/

there are lots of interesting convos happening in the associated github issue queue, so i would definitely recommend subscribing to it with GitHub's "Watch" feature!
https://github.com/frictionlessdata/specs/issues

here is a sample of one way to use the datapackage standard: https://github.com/t0ronto-ca/dataset-toronto-elected-officials

tools and processes that make it easier for cities to adopt these standards would probably help the situation
