Subject: Re: New Page "Data Portability Definitions"
Thanks for setting up the definitions page.
One of the most fundamental definitions of that of portable data. It currently reads: "DATA rendered in a common open format and accessible by a system other than that which is rendering it." This refers, I think, to interoperability via standards, rather than to portability. The key point is not that data can be moved, but that you don't need to move it to a different system in order to use it. I make a similar point, at a rather more general level, elsewhere: http://changingway.org/2008/01/11/data-portability-worthy-aim-mislead... Andrew You must Sign in before you can post messages.
