TRANSCRIPT
Welcome
Why we do what we do: Data should be free to use wherever, whenever and however it’s needed.
Information should flow between systems, applications, and formats.
You should spend your time making decisions, not fighting with data.
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic”
- Arthur C Clarke
