3/5 We should also recognise that a lot of the things on the internet are good. The map in my Design Issues note shows the good there is online ⬇️

@datacequia @maugendre @data @datadon Andrew, this is one great "mapping" of concepts. Thank you for it. And for bringing my attention to this dynamics of change - "“ the speed of human negotiation and learning” "

@maugendre @data @datadon

“It happened; it mattered; many fortunes were made. But it happened at the speed of human negotiation and learning”

@teodora this quote is an excerpt from the article shared in this thread about the challenges of data integration in an organization but it recognizes here that anything under the large digital transformation bucket largely moves at the “speed of human negotiation and learning” (i.e. dialogue) as I believe your book focuses on as described here:

“It is the dialogue in its aspect of co-creating knowledge and meaning in contrast to the function of a data-gathering and instruction-exchanged database-driven dialog system, that we will explore here.”

@datacequia @LarrySwanson Andrew, thank you so much for this distillation. And, yeah, dark matter!Who wantto have dark matter in their marketing department :)) Love that framing.
@teodora @LarrySwanson finished! An excellent read on the central role dialogue plays as the dark matter that binds content which itself the digital artifact of human interactions… at least that was my assemblage of meaning to paraphrase an excerpt from the book :)
@datacequia @LarrySwanson Thank you Andrew! And thanks Larry for sharing here :)
@LarrySwanson Thanks for posting here too! And for the interview (and the colors :))

Combine deep academic curiosity, love for the #SemanticWeb, and a unique approach to #HCI and #KnowledgeManagement, and you get @teodora 's concept of "dialogic communication." Add a nuanced appreciation for #marketing and well-curated #metadata and you can convey your org's value to the world. A stimulating and inspiring chat with a powerful #KnowledgeGraph mind - hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

@rrlevering @dwsmart I think for a lot of people the lack of publicly available visualization/modeling/analyzing tools forms a serious roadblock.

I've seen some luxurious high-$ tools, but for anybody without deep pockets there just isn't anything.

Keeping the use of graphs out of reach for most and stopping them from learning to think in a graph way.

As such it is very hard to learn about and make use of them.

The gap to the lower ranks simply is too big (unless you have a triple PhD).

There are many days that I get disheartened about graphs being too complex to use as an interchange format. My world (structured data at Google) revolves around graphs but humans just have a lot of problems reasoning about higher dimensional data. Sometimes I think trees are about as far as the average person can handle intuitively.

I can easily point to all the advantages in composability, lack of redundancy, etc. but if you can't picture it easily in your mind it makes it hard to work with.
