Welcome to Carpe Datum’s weekly newsletter, the Federal Data Prospector (Vol. 3, Issue 46). The theme for this week’s issue is “public-private partnerships”. For anyone who has worked with the Federal Government before, you’ll be familiar with their periodic requests for expertise and guidance from the private sector. Carpe Datum firmly believes these scenarios are excellent opportunities to showcase you and your company’s assets and capabilities, Thus, whether it is DHS S&T seeking technical support and expertise in the development of ML Algorithms, or it’s the Federal CDO Council requesting information about open data inventory standards, our advice would be to get into the game!
In other data news, on October 20th, governmentCIO published an interesting article entitled, Federal CDO Council Talks Growth, RFI in First Public Meeting. In this article, Melissa Harris describes how the Federal Chief Data Officers Council presented its priorities, accomplishments, and a new request for information seeking feedback on its mission and activities during its first public meeting last week.
- “From the contractor perspective, the council is also looking to hear about opportunities to use data inventories to advance agency operations or to support federal data analysts. Morgan said the group also wants to know how data inventory standards might be more useful in domains beyond core open-data catalog use cases.”
