Hello, !Doing log entries is really addiction, as I’m sure some of you have found. I sit down when I have a spare moment with the intention of doing just few entries, then it’s just some more, just one more. You get the picture. This is thrilling work for following the ship and crew. !All best, Don.

Data is not a force unto itselfData does not create value by itself. The value

has to be created by the society.

!

Data is not perfectDatasets are generated, selected, analysed

and corrected for particular purposes.

!

Data does not speak for itselfData requires further research and analysis in

order to make sense of it.

!

Data is not powerPower happens when you are able to do things. Data empower people to take better decisions.

!

People is not yet ready for dataData can be an immensely powerful asset, if

used in the right way.

!

We don’t want data to be the new oilWe better react quickly and democratize the use of it.
