| The Internet has made
sharing vast amount of data easier and more economical than ever
before. Combined with new ways to process and analyze data, we are
starting to see the promise held by data-driven innovation to
improve health around the world, better understand climates, and to
positively impact countless other aspects of our lives. But
before this promise can be realized, we need a global forum for education
and discussion relating to the social policy concerns surrounding
data collection and use. Ultimately, we need to reach reasonable and
responsible consensus paths forward if we are to fully achieve the
promises of data-driven innovation. I believe that the DWEL project is extremely well positioned to play an important role in achieving this critical objective, and I very much look forward to the ongoing results of its efforts. Vint Cerf Chief Internet Evangelist |
| Data and
analytics are fundamentally changing our world. As sensors
continue to proliferate and this data continues to converge, we will
experience extraordinary societal benefits: optimization of natural
resources, breakthroughs in medicine, and a deeper understanding of the
universe we live in. Unfortunately, this unstoppable and
irresistible journey we are on has far outpaced mankind's policies and
laws. It is with this in mind that I am enthusiastic about the DWEL project and hold high hopes that it will advance the global conversation, debate, and education in the area of information and analytics policy. Jeff Jonas IBM Distinguished Engineer Chief Scientist, IBM Entity Analytics |
