Data for Canada / the Universe

Background and Strategy

"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

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.

And for any citizen to contribute to its resilience. This is why my project makes use of P2P technologies (ex. BitTorrent, IPFS, libp2p)
Hence the data dissemination strategy.

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.
