"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space."

Douglas Adams, Hitchicker's Guide to the Galaxy, #1

# In Plain Words

<v-clicks>

- Make sure that data lasts as long as humanly possible presenting all perspectives by creating efficient data and processes for long-term archival.
- I want what I am building to be in libraries.
- Create processes, tools, infrastructure, datasets to empower everyday citizens, to make their lifes just a little easier, to filter all of the noise.
- Yes, **ethics** is at the core of everything.

</v-clicks>

<!--
- This is where the MCP project that was mentioned to me by Geoff can be introduced.
-->

---
layout: center
---

- And for any citizen to contribute to its resilience. This is why my project makes use of P2P technologies (ex. [BitTorrent](https://tixati.com/specs/bittorrent), [IPFS](https://ipfs.tech/), [libp2p](https://libp2p.io/))
- Hence the [data dissemination strategy](https://www.dataforcanada.org/docs/d4c-infra-distribution/).

<!--
- Yes, that does mean utilizing everyday citizens in decentralized distribution of data

<!--
- There's a reason that the arrows are two ways. From data packages to open data sources means that we as a community need to provide specific feedback on datasets released by the government. Like I said, we can start by prioritizing datasets on significance to the community. If we need a union to push back on datasets, so be it.

- This is a start. We need to do better.
- Create parquet dataset of the data portals.
- Actually assess how difficult it is to export data from each data portal. For example,

## Rank
- Rank datasets according to impact on Canadians (ex. COVID-19 death cases by [dissemination block](https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/92-195-x/2021001/geo/db-id/db-id-eng.htm)).

# Archive

- Download datasets and make into efficient long-term storage file formats.
- Make them available to the community via something like [Backblaze B2 Overdrive](https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage/b2-overdrive), which has a throughput speed ranging from 100Gbps up to 1Tbps (minimum 1PB commitment). 
  - $15 USD / TB
  - $15K USD per month, $180K per year
- Have unique identifiers to the datasets.

<!--
- $15 USD per TB. $15K per month, or $180K per year.
- Unlimited egress and requests.
- You only get charged for storage.
- This is the goal of my project. I aim to have 1PB of data by 2036, potentially sooner.
-->

---
layout: center

---

- Download them via something like [geoparquet-io](https://geoparquet.io/) that enables downloading from Esri data portals and WFS servers. It supports both vector data and raster data.

<!--
- I know the two authors of this project. They are incredibly smart, understand the problem that data ecosystems have, and are working on resolving the problem.
- For vector data, you are able to create highly efficient vector and raster datasets. This is systems to systems file formats.

<!--
- Technical people will understand this diagram. These are the most efficient file formats that will help my project reach its goals. These file formats will change throughout time, with older data being converted to more efficient file formats. Currently these file formats enable next generation applications. The more efficient you move data between systems, devices, etc, the faster you can do what you need to do, it's as simple as that.
- For what I think you are aiming for, I would look into Lance file format as it opens up AI applications.

# Statistical
- This is how our governments see the world and how what they are supposed to use when making decisions.
- We need to request that statistical data be tied to individual authors, so that we can start to trust institutions. If someone's credibility in the community becomes a factor, I believe that individuals will fight to keep their credibility with the community.
- Open processes.

<!--
- How did you reach these conclusions? AKA For this given action that your government is taking, what specific datasets did you use? Who did the analysis, etc.
- "Experts" is no longer good enough, give me their names, and we will create a process to track trust of individuals through time.
