= Demos = Notes from presentations on Sunday, Jan 27 == improving access to data.gov == *Project participants: **chris , dev **connie, product **eric, dev **evan, dev **ken, ux **neil, dev **paul, design **robert, dev/product **yan, product *created in 2008 to provide access to public data *what data does data.gov have? not immediately clear *build an alternative portal? *experimental new portal already in progress at alpha.data.gov *built new tag cloud explorer for data.gov this weekend, presently at http://data2.me/ == book scanner == *participants: **David Nelson **Adam Kraft adam at media.mit.edu vaccuum-powered page-turning arm for book scanner, built out of random parts that were laying around. NOT the Dany Q one, that one costs $1500 (and is awesome) but this one is under $100. It isn't actually scanning books yet so far, just turning pages. Interested in feedback on mechanism & software. == RECAP == http://recapthelaw.org/ Ping demonstrates PACER, the US federal court's paywall for public-domain legal documents, and how it charges $0.10 per "page" for everything (including search results!). The RECAP browser extension uploads PACER results to the Internet Archive so that others will not have to pay the fees. If you are about to pay for a document which someone else has already uploaded, it allows you to retrieve it from archive.org instead. There are 854,711 items in the archive.org RECAP collection so far. The RECAP browser extension for Firefox is at: http://github.com/citp/recap The hackathon project was to develop RECAP for Chrome: http://github.com/zestyping/recap-chrome Currently, RECAP for Chrome checks the Internet Archive to see which documents are available, and adds links to the page so you can get the documents for free instead of paying to download them from PACER. It doesn't upload documents to the Internet Archive yet, though -- that part still needs to be done. == Fork the law == * Christie introduces in-progress new website for disucssing and editing laws. ** https://twitter.com/Fork_the_Law ** http://forkthelaw.org/ (not live yet) * Fork, edit, test, commit. * Commenting on law. * Use as preparation for speaking with your lawmakers. * Can participate in direct action, if you do not want to suggest specific changes. * Backend uses http://www.co-ment.org == Perception Society, Inc.

He performed a limited analysis of the "Raw Nerve" posts over the weekend and explored it's use as corpus for identifying the linguistic ideation of suicide in other texts. We chat about some of the ethical issues involved in using computational linguistic analysis of blog posts to detect the ideation of suicide in an author. * Resources for hackers to get help: http://www.saizai.com/depression * Articles on the cognitive linguistic ideation of suicide:<br> Word Use in the Poetry of Suicidal and Nonsuicidal Poets: http://www.psychosomaticmedicine.org/content/63/4/517.full <br>Gaining Perspective through Expressive Writing http://arizona.openrepository.com/arizona/handle/10150/192529 == Knowledge for Good (Aviv) == http://knowledgeforgood.referata.com/wiki/Knowledge_for_Good Working together to improve the way people create, organize, and distribute important knowledge.
