Here’s what was pitched:
- Is there a data set missing? A public sector ecosystem graph database?
- There are complex supply chains for some data, so could we discuss mapping data flows, around data protection, providence and ownership?
- OS Open Zoom Stack – and other geovation stuff from the OS.
- Data for trustworthy AI – what can we do to make it more trustworthy?
- Can we do better than spreadsheets?
