Gäste:Prof. Dr. Silke Finken | International School of ManagementPatrick Henrich | CommerzbankJoris Hensen | Deutsche BankKai Wirthwein | First Financial Angesichts des hohen Aufwands, der für die Umsetzung von FIDA (Financial Data Access) zu erwarten ist, fragen sich viele – vor allem kleinere und mittlere – Kreditinstitute, worauf sie sich vorbereiten müssen. Die Standardisierung von Daten sowie die Bewertung und entsprechende Priorisierung von Use Cases sind sicherlich Aufgaben, mit denen man sich schon jetzt beschäftigen sollte. Die aktuelle Stammtischrunde mit Professor Dr. Silke Finken, Patrick Henrich, Joris Hensen, Dr. Christoph Huck, Ute Kolck und Kai Wirthwein gibt weitere wichtige Denkanstöße.

Nach dem Hin und Her um FIDA haben die Verhandlungen im Europäischen Rat inzwischen begonnen. Während auf politischer Ebene unter anderem noch über den Anwendungsbereich und die Umsetzungsfrist diskutiert wird, haben die Arbeiten zur Gestaltung der Schemes längst begonnen. BiPRO, das Brancheninstitut für Prozessoptimierung, welches die FiDA-Scheme Policy Commission leitet, hat hier schon viel Vorarbeit geleistet – nicht nur für die Versicherungsbranche. Im aktuellen Open-Banking-Stammtisch diskutieren wir mit Prof. Dr. Silke Finken (International School of Management), Patrick Henrich (Commerzbank), Dzmitry Permiakou und Torsten Jäger (BiPRO), wie die Bankbranche hiervon profitieren und Aufwände reduzieren kann.

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop welcomes Jessica Talisman, a senior information architect deeply immersed in the worlds of taxonomy, ontology, and knowledge management. The conversation spans the evolution of libraries, the shifting nature of public and private access to knowledge, and the role of institutions like the Internet Archive in preserving digital history. They also explore the fragility of information in the digital age, the ongoing battle over access to knowledge, and how AI is shaping—and being shaped by—structured data and knowledge graphs. To connect with Jessica Talisman, you can reach her via LinkedIn.  Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:05 – Libraries, Democracy, Public vs. Private Knowledge Jessica explains how libraries have historically shifted between public and private control, shaping access to knowledge and democracy.00:10 – Internet Archive, Cyberattacks, Digital Preservation Stewart describes visiting the Internet Archive post-cyberattack, sparking a discussion on threats to digital preservation and free information.00:15 – AI, Structured Data, Ontologies, NIH, PubMed Jessica breaks down how AI trains on structured data from sources like NIH and PubMed but often lacks alignment with authoritative knowledge.00:20 – Linked Data, Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Web, Tim Berners-Lee They explore how linked data enables machines to understand connections between knowledge, referencing the vision behind the semantic web.00:25 – Entity Management, Cataloging, Provenance, Authority Jessica explains how libraries are transitioning from cataloging books to managing entities, ensuring provenance and verifiable knowledge.00:30 – Digital Dark Ages, Knowledge Loss, Corporate Control Stewart compares today's deletion of digital content to historical knowledge loss, warning about the fragility of digital memory.00:35 – War on Truth, Book Bans, Algorithmic Bias, Censorship They discuss how knowledge suppression—from book bans to algorithmic censorship—threatens free access to information.00:40 – AI, Search Engines, Metadata, Schema.org, RDF Jessica highlights how AI and search engines depend on structured metadata but often fail to prioritize authoritative sources.00:45 – Power Over Knowledge, Open vs. Closed Systems, AI Ethics They debate the battle between corporations, governments, and open-source efforts to control how knowledge is structured and accessed.00:50 – Librarians, AI Misinformation, Knowledge Organization Jessica emphasizes that librarians and structured knowledge systems are essential in combating misinformation in AI.00:55 – Future of Digital Memory, AI, Ethics, Information Access They reflect on whether AI and linked data will expand knowledge access or accelerate digital decay and misinformation.Key InsightsThe Evolution of Libraries Reflects Power Struggles Over Knowledge: Libraries have historically oscillated between being public and private institutions, reflecting broader societal shifts in who controls access to knowledge. Jessica Talisman highlights how figures like Andrew Carnegie helped establish the modern public library system, reinforcing libraries as democratic spaces where information is accessible to all. However, she also notes that as knowledge becomes digitized, new battles emerge over who owns and controls digital information​​.The Internet Archive Faces Systematic Attacks on Knowledge: Stewart Alsop shares his firsthand experience visiting the Internet Archive just after it had suffered a major cyberattack. This incident is part of a larger trend in which libraries and knowledge repositories worldwide, including those in Canada, have been targeted. The conversation raises concerns that these attacks are not random but part of a broader, well-funded effort to undermine access to information​​.AI and Knowledge Graphs Are Deeply Intertwined: AI systems, particularly large language models (LLMs), rely on structured data sources such as knowledge graphs, ontologies, and linked data. Talisman explains how institutions like the NIH and PubMed provide openly available, structured knowledge that AI systems train on. Yet, she points out a critical gap—AI often lacks alignment with real-world, authoritative sources, which leads to inaccuracies in machine-generated knowledge​​.Libraries Are Moving From Cataloging to Entity Management: Traditional library systems were built around cataloging books and documents, but modern libraries are transitioning toward entity management, which organizes knowledge in a way that allows for more dynamic connections. Linked data and knowledge graphs enable this shift, making it easier to navigate vast repositories of information while maintaining provenance and authority​​.The War on Truth and Information Is Accelerating: The episode touches on the increasing threats to truth and reliable information, from book bans to algorithmic suppression of knowledge. Talisman underscores the crucial role librarians play in preserving access to primary sources and maintaining records of historical truth. As AI becomes more prominent in knowledge dissemination, the need for robust, verifiable sources becomes even more urgent​​.Linked Data is the Foundation of Digital Knowledge: The conversation explores how linked data protocols, such as those championed by Tim Berners-Lee, allow machines and AI to interpret and connect information across the web. Talisman explains that institutions like NIH publish their taxonomies in RDF format, making them accessible as structured, authoritative sources. However, many organizations fail to leverage this interconnected data, leading to inefficiencies in knowledge management​​.Preserving Digital Memory is a Civilization-Defining Challenge: In the digital age, the loss of information is more severe than ever. Alsop compares the current state of digital impermanence to the Dark Ages, where crucial knowledge risks disappearing due to corporate decisions, cyberattacks, and lack of preservation infrastructure. Talisman agrees, emphasizing that digital archives like the Internet Archive, WorldCat, and Wikimedia are foundational to maintaining a collective human memory​​.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I, Stewart Alsop, sit down with Gabe Dominocielo, co-founder of Umbra, a space tech company revolutionizing satellite imagery. We discuss the rapid advancements in space-based observation, the economics driving the industry, and how AI intersects with satellite data. Gabe shares insights on government contracting, defense applications, and the shift toward cost-minus procurement models. We also explore the broader implications of satellite technology—from hedge funds analyzing parking lots to wildfire response efforts. Check out more about Gabe and Umbra at umbraspace.com (https://umbraspace.com), and don't miss their open data archive for high-resolution satellite imagery.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:05 Gabe's Background and Umbra's Mission00:34 The Story Behind 'Come and Take It'01:32 Space Technology and Cost Plus Contracts03:28 The Impact of Elon Musk and SpaceX05:16 Umbra's Business Model and Profitability07:28 Challenges in the Satellite Business11:45 Investors and Funding Journey19:31 Space Business Landscape and Future Prospects23:09 Defense and Regulatory Challenges in Space31:06 Practical Applications of Satellite Data33:16 Unexpected Wealth and Autistic Curiosity33:49 Beet Farming and Data Insights35:09 Philosophy in Business Strategy38:56 Empathy and Investor Relations43:00 Raising Capital: Strategies and Challenges44:56 The Sovereignty Game vs. Venture Game51:12 Concluding Thoughts and Contact Information52:57 The Treasure Hunt and AI DependenciesKey InsightsThe Shift from Cost-Plus to Cost-Minus in Government Contracting – Historically, aerospace and defense contracts operated under a cost-plus model, where companies were reimbursed for expenses with a guaranteed profit. Gabe explains how the shift toward cost-minus (firm-fixed pricing) is driving efficiency and competition in the industry, much like how SpaceX drastically reduced launch costs by offering services instead of relying on bloated government contracts.Satellite Imagery Has Become a Crucial Tool for Businesses – Beyond traditional defense and intelligence applications, high-resolution satellite imagery is now a critical asset for hedge funds, investors, and commercial enterprises. Gabe describes how firms use satellite data to analyze parking lots, monitor supply chains, and even track cryptocurrency mining activity based on power line sagging and cooling fan usage on data centers.Space Technology is More Business-Driven Than Space-Driven – While many assume space startups are driven by a passion for exploration, Umbra's success is rooted in strong business fundamentals. Gabe emphasizes that their focus is on unit economics, supply-demand balance, and creating a profitable company rather than simply innovating for the sake of technology.China's Growing Presence in Space and Regulatory Challenges – Gabe raises concerns about China's aggressive approach to space, noting that they often ignore international agreements and regulations. Meanwhile, American companies face significant bureaucratic hurdles, sometimes spending millions just to navigate licensing and compliance. He argues that unleashing American innovation by reducing regulatory friction is essential to maintaining leadership in the space industry.Profitability is the Ultimate Measure of Success – Unlike many venture-backed space startups that focus on hype, Umbra has prioritized profitability, making it one of the few successful Earth observation companies. Gabe contrasts this with competitors who raised massive sums, spent excessively, and ultimately failed because they weren't built on sustainable business models.Satellite Technology is Revolutionizing Disaster Response – One of the most impactful uses of Umbra's satellite imagery has been in wildfire response. By capturing images through smoke and clouds, their data was instrumental in mapping wildfires in Los Angeles. They even made this data freely available, helping emergency responders and news organizations better understand the crisis.Philosophy and Business Strategy Go Hand in Hand – Gabe highlights how strategic thinking and philosophical principles guide decision-making in business. Whether it's understanding investor motivations, handling conflicts with empathy, or ensuring a company can sustain itself for decades rather than chasing short-term wins, having a strong philosophical foundation is key to long-term success.

We are back for 2025 and in today's podcast we will I hope, start the new year by catching a glimpse of the art of the possible when it comes to embracing the use of data, technology and digital tools to drive improvement across the infrastructure sector.As such it is my pleasure to sit down today with Nicholas Cumins, chief executive of global infrastructure software giant Bentley Systems. Nicholas stepped into the hot seat six months ago when former ceo, founder and driving mind for the business Greg Bentley moved up to chair the now public company, ending three decades of family control. So no pressure there then!Nicholas set out his stall for the direction of the business during his keynote address to the 2024 Bentley Systems Year in Infrastructure event held last October in Vancouver. This annual event gathers infrastructure's top minds to share information and inspiration, find out what's new in the digital design, construction and operation world and, or course, to celebrate success with a bunch of now highly coveted awards. These kind of global events demonstrate clearly how governments around the world are banking on infrastructure investment to drove economies but also that the future of our built environment depends on doing more with less and on achieving better economic and social outcomes for communities. And as Nicholas pointed out in Vancouver, that means creating new, sustainable solutions that will both protect our natural environment and meet global target for cutting carbon emissions. But it also means finding new and better ways to manage and maintain the vast amount of vital infrastructure that already exists.Digitalisation, data and the power of AI and data analysis tools are key to helping professionals to make better decisions and creating better outcomes for the societies that rely on it. And it's fair to say that software companies like Bentley are developing extraordinary tools to power this transformation. So let's hear what's new and what's around the corner.ResourcesBentley Systems iLabThe Digital Twin HubBentley Systems Year in Infrastructure 2024YII 2024 KeynotesCesium 3D TilesGoogle partnershipUnreal Engine

Today Caroline Goldsmith, Associate Director of the Charleston Hub welcomes back Dr. Mark Hannell, who's the Vice President of Open Research at Digital Science and Founder of FigShare, along with Graham Smith, the Open Data Program Manager at Springer Nature.  In this episode, Dr. Mark Hannell and Graham Smith discuss the collaboration between Digital Science, FigShare, and Springer Nature on the State of Open Data report. They explore the purpose of the report, the methodology used, key findings, and the implications for researchers and stakeholders. The conversation emphasizes the importance of data sharing in academic publishing and the need for practical support and metrics to drive change in open data practices. Takeaways The State of Open Data report aims to understand researchers' attitudes towards open data. Survey data often reflects perceptions rather than actual practices. Quantitative analysis complements survey data to provide deeper insights. There are significant differences in data sharing practices across countries. Strong data policies from funders correlate with better data sharing. Education around open data principles is crucial for improving practices. The report highlights the need for practical support beyond policy mandates. Metrics for data sharing can incentivize researchers to share their data. Open data should be a standard expectation in research, not an exception. The findings of the report are openly available for public access. The video of this episode is here: https://youtu.be/weZCi_WR8HI

Open data has been a recurring theme on the podcast - for better or worse. Every year, Digital Science and Springer Nature publish a report on the status of open science, so we thought this year's report was a good occasion to take stock and have a good discussion not only on the status of open status but also on where it's going, how and why. To help us, we invited one of the report's authors, Mark Hahnel from Digital Science, to the podcast to discuss the report titled 'Bridging Policy and Practice in Data Sharing.'We cover the importance of open data in research, the dynamics between global north and south, and the need for ethical standards and education in data practices. The discussion also touches on the enthusiasm of Ethiopian researchers for open data and the challenges of ensuring equitable access and utilisation of data across different regions. As always we cover issues of identity and security when it comes to diversity.And if you can't wait for next year's report - Mark gives us a prediction for the conclusions in the 2025 report at the end of the conversation. You can find the report her: https://www.digital-science.com/state-of-open-data-report-2024/You can follow Mark on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markhahnel/You can follow Mark on Bluesky at: https://bsky.app/profile/hahnel.orgThe presenting sponsor of this episode is Digital Science.The episode is produced and edited by Peter Xiong.Thanks for listening.

If the audio sounds a little unusual at times it is because of the noise removal being used to remove that noise being combined with other ‘sound enhancement' features. I had to go back in and play around with the audio directly before I was even a little happy.  The tools work well but they are a little unpredictable.  I am increasingly wary of ‘it just works' audio editing tools. I would have left it in, but the bots chasing copyright infringement are ravenous and indiscriminate.

Could making Wikidata 'human' readable lead to better AI? A new project is underway to allow Large Language Models (LLMs) to read Wikidata. The data is currently structured in a way that's machine readable, but LLMs read data more like humans than machines, meaning this vast amount of human curated, high quality data isn't accessible to this type of AI. By allowing access to Wikidata, LLMs could become more reliable. Ania spoke to Lydia Pintscher, the Portfolio Lead Product Manager at Wikidata Deutschland, to learn more about these developments. Most news websites block AI Chatbots Two thirds of high quality news websites block AI chatbots from accessing their information, according to a report by the misinformation monitoring organisation NewsGuard.

Subscriber-only episodeCould making Wikidata human readable lead to better AI? A new project is underway to allow Large Language Models (LLMs) to read Wikidata. The data is currently structured in a way that's machine readable, but LLMs read data more like humans than machines, meaning this vast amount of human curated, high quality data isn't accessible to this type of AI. By allowing access to Wikidata, LLMs could become more reliable. Ania spoke to Lydia Pintscher, the Portfolio Lead Product Manager at Wikidata Deutschland, to learn more about these developments. Most news websites block AI ChatbotsTwo thirds of high quality news websites block AI chatbots from accessing their information, according to a report by the misinformation monitoring organisation NewsGuard.

Welche Rolle spielt Softwareentwicklung im Datenjournalismus?Datenjournalismus ist eine spezialisierte Form des Journalismus, die u.a. darauf abzielt (offene) Daten (und somit auch interessante Fakten) durch interaktive Visualisierungen und Diagramme zugänglich zu machen. Doch um ein konsumierbares Ergebnis zu erhalten, ist viel Arbeit notwendig. Was steckt also dahinter?In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit Michael Kreil. Michael ist freier Datenjournalist und gibt uns Einblicke in seine Arbeit. Wir klären, was Datenjournalismus eigentlich ist, inwieweit das ganze in Relation zu Data Analytics oder Data Science steht, woher eigentlich die Arbeitsgrundlage, also die Daten, stammen, wie viel Software-Engineering in diesem Prozess involviert ist, welche handwerklichen Fehler bei der Arbeit mit Daten gemacht werden können, aber auch wie Datenjournalisten für Open Data und “Public Money, Public Code oder Public Data” kämpfen.Bonus: Wenn Daten präsentiert werden, schalten Menschen ihren Kopf aus.Das schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Chapter 1What is OpenIn his daring memoir "Open," Andre Agassi, former world number one tennis player, offers an unflinching glimpse into his life, revealing the burdens and breakthroughs that characterized his career. From an early age, Agassi was thrust into a world ruled by rigorous training and high expectations, his life dictated by a father obsessed with his success in tennis. The memoir unfolds Agassi's distinct dislike for the sport, a revelation that stuns, given his profound achievements. Through candid narratives, Agassi discusses his rise to fame, his battles with confidence, and his struggle for a sense of purpose. The emotional depth of "Open" explores his transformative journey of self-discovery and the search for fulfillment beyond the tennis court. At its heart, the book teaches profound life lessons on perseverance and the importance of forging one's path, making it a resonant read for anyone feeling trapped in their life's storyline.Chapter 2 Meet the Writer of OpenIn his autobiography "Open," Andre Agassi uses a candid and reflective writing style to convey the emotions and experiences of his life and career. His language is straightforward and unadorned, reflecting his open and honest approach to sharing his personal journey. Agassi effectively uses vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes to engage the reader and provide deep insights into his struggles and triumphs. This direct and personal tone helps readers connect emotionally with his narrative, enhancing their understanding of his complex feelings towards tennis and his own identity. Through this clear and expressive style, Agassi effectively communicates the highs and lows of his life, making "Open" a compelling and emotionally resonant memoir.Chapter 3 Deeper Understanding of OpenTo address your inquiry accurately, it is crucial to define what "Open" refers to in this context. The term can refer to various concepts, including:1. Open Access: Refers to the practice in academia and research of making scholarly works available online free of charge.2. Open Source: Initially a term used in software development to mean that the source code of the software is open for anyone to review, modify, and distribute.3. Open Data: Pertains to the idea that data should be available to everyone to use and republish without restrictions.4. Open Government: A commitment by governments to be more transparent, participatory, and collaborative.5. Open Education: Resources, tools, and practices that employ a framework of open sharing to improve educational access and effectiveness.Assuming the question pertains to these or similar concepts, here's an exploration of the impact of "Open" across different fields: LiteratureIn literature, open access has significant implications. It has allowed a much wider distribution of works, which were previously confined by copyright and publishing barriers. Authors can share their works freely, reaching a wider audience, and readers from around the world can access a broad range of literature without cost. This democratization of content has challenged traditional publishing models and posed questions about copyright importance and revenue models for authors. CultureOpen culture, which includes Open Access and Open Data, has fostered a more inclusive environment where various cultural products are easily accessible to a broad segment of the population. This has undoubtedly led to a more informed and culturally aware society. Furthermore, open cultural resources have empowered underrepresented communities by providing them greater access to cultural production and participation. SocietyThe broader concept of Open has deeply influenced society, particularly through Open Source and Open Data movements:- Open Source Software such as...

The open banking community has long believed the path to open data starts with open banking. The general idea is that the common standards used to share banking data will inevitably expand in scope, leading to open data standards which will eventually cover all sectors of the economy. Australia, unique among open banking regions, has been on that road for several years now, although some now say their ambitious regulatory effort, the Consumer Data Right (CDR), has fallen short of its initial bold vision. In this episode, Eyal sits down with Jamie Leach, a self-proclaimed data champion, who recently joined Raidiam as their Open Data Strategist. She is also the regional director of FDATA Australasia, and the founder of Open Data Australia. Jamie and Eyal discuss the origins of open banking and the CDR in Australia, some of the significant challenges the effort now faces, and predictions for where it is headed in the future.Specifically they discuss: The origins of Australia's foray into open dataWhat made CDR so ambitious and forward-thinkingThe challenges that have caused the CDR to stallHow ConnectID offered a market-driven alternativeWhere Australian open banking is headed from here

New York City is not only getting more public toilets but making them easier to locate using your smartphone. Mayor Eric Adams announced on June 3 a plan to build 46 new restrooms and renovate 36 existing ones located in city parks, adding to the city's roughly 1,000 such facilities over the next five years. The Democrat said the city has also developed a new Google Maps layer so people can easily find the locations of every public restroom operated by government agencies and civic institutions, including libraries and transit hubs. “Part of making New York City a more livable city is tackling the little things—the things we don't think about until we need them,” Adams said in a statement launching the effort, which his administration has dubbed “Ur in Luck.” The lack of public restrooms has long been a problem in a city where more than half of households don't own cars and hordes of tourists go sightseeing by foot and subway. It can be especially difficult for parents of young kids, pregnant women, seniors, and people with medical conditions, officials noted at a news conference. New Yorker Teddy Siegel created a now hugely popular social media account and online map dedicated to public bathrooms in the city “after nearly having an accident in Times Square” in 2021. She welcomed the additional amenities on June 3. “Over the past three years, I've learned from my community that New York City's lack of publicly accessible restrooms is not only a quality of life and public health issue, but it's an equity crisis,” said Siegel, whose own crowdsourced got2gonyc map lists more than 2,000 places to find a facility. The existing restrooms being renovated will receive improvements ranging from additional stalls to accessibility upgrades, as well as energy-efficient features, Adams said. The Google Maps layer will be updated biannually and will include restrooms operated by the city parks department, local transit agencies, and the city's library systems, he said. Data on the city's public restrooms will also be available on Open Data. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has taken steps to accelerate the processing of software and hardware vulnerabilities in the National Vulnerability Database by awarding a new contract to an outside vendor. This move aims to clear the backlog of unanalyzed vulnerabilities by the end of the fiscal year, demonstrating a commitment to cybersecurity.However, amidst this positive development, the closure of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) poses a threat to internet access for nearly 60 million low-income Americans. The lack of funding has led to the discontinuation of the program, leaving many households in financial distress. Efforts to extend the program through bipartisan legislation have stalled, highlighting the importance of government support in ensuring equitable access to essential services.On the cybersecurity front, the dismantling of the 911 S5 proxy botnet, the world's largest, and the arrest of its administrator in Singapore, Yun-Hee Wang, showcases international efforts to combat cybercrime. The botnet, which conducted various illicit activities, underscores the ongoing challenges in cybersecurity and the need for robust measures to protect against such threats.Furthermore, the episode delves into the gender disparity in the cybersecurity workforce, with only 20-25% being female. Factors contributing to this gap include unconscious bias and a lack of female role models. The discussion emphasizes the importance of addressing these issues through strategies such as unconscious bias training, diversifying recruitment efforts, and providing support for women in cybersecurity roles to foster a more inclusive and diverse industry. Four things to know today00:00 NIST Accelerates Vulnerability Processing as ACP Closure Threatens Internet Access for Millions02:28 Live Nation Breach Highlights Growing Cybersecurity Concerns as 83% of Firms Plan Budget Increases04:11 Open Formats Transform Data Industry: Snowflake, Databricks, and the Future of Cloud Services05:26 CompTIA Data Highlights Cybersecurity Gender Disparity: Strategies for Recruitment and Retention Supported by:  https://coreview.com/msp/ All our Sponsors:   https://businessof.tech/sponsors/  Looking for a link from the stories?

Summary: This panel discussion titled “Open Data Actions and Aspirations” focused on the challenges and opportunities of harnessing open data in federal agencies. The panelists discussed the need for collaboration, the importance of data accessibility, and the cultural and technological changes required to move towards a more efficient and impactful data ecosystem. Highlights:

Poor air quality is a major global issue causing around 7 million premature deaths per year, disproportionately affecting low and middle income countries. OpenAQ is an organization dedicated to identifying solutions to this large issue. OpenAQ uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) to collect and harmonize open air quality data from government sources and low-cost sensors around the world, ingesting around 10-12 million measurements daily. To learn more, the Fix This team sat down with Russ Biggs, director of technology at OpenAQ. Russ shared how AWS Lambda helps OpenAQ scale its data collection and harmonization pipeline in a serverless manner. And helps scientists, environmental justice groups, and community organizations access OpenAQ's data to study air pollution impacts, advocate for regulations, and raise awareness.

In this episode we continue our interoperability conversation with CHESS Vice President of Health Informatics, Mark Dunnagan. Last time, we focused on the importance of shared data in value based care and the need to overcome any barriers. Today we talk about the logistics of interoperability and the modernization of data exchange.Mark, last time we left off talking about data exchange There always seems to be ongoing conversations in this topic about APIs. Do you feel like more improvement in APIs could be a potential solution?I do I use the metaphor of a quiver of arrows quite often when describing you know interoperability. I think you know it's my job as you know the head of a team that that must figure out how to get data and get it in a timely fashion and in a way that fulfills our contractual obligations and our obligations to the patient. I think APIs is one more arrow in the quiver. You know it gives us a programmatic way to access you know large volumes of complex data, but it's not necessarily the only way. You know when we sign on a health system let's say to one of our ACOs, you know I can pretty much rest assured that they're using one of a small number of vendors and you know those vendors are fully capable of producing certain constructs that that my team can consume. Same with most payers. Although you know, the outputs may differ certainly. But as I work my way down the chain, particularly in working with ambulatory clinics and what not, you know, I gosh last time I checked there are over 200 EMRs here in my home state of North Carolina. Each one of those with a slightly different interpretation of certain standards. Not all of them have viable API interfaces, you know, not all of them have the same way of communicating with them. So, I have to be open to old school HL 7, which is kind of the equivalent of opening up a channel and typing over it. I have to be open to flat file exchange. I have to be open to various forms of XML, JSON, and it truly depends on what that endpoint can offer. So again, APIs are extremely valuable but they're not the only tool that a team like mine has to has to be able to wield to be interoperable to be successful in the exchange of healthcare data.Interesting. So as someone who's spent a career in the data and informatics space, can you share how these analytical tools help control the cost of healthcare?There's many answers to this. I would say again I'll draw back to what we do which is value based services. You know I need to know when something happens and I need to be able to inform our performance improvement teams and so that they can communicate with the providers. I need to inform the care managers when something of interest when someone is checked into a hospital, someone has sought, you know, specialty care outside of network, when someone has been discharged, they need to know that and I need to inform them, you know, not only that it's happened, but give them enough descriptive information that they can intervene appropriately. I would go further to say that I need to glean enough good information, rather my team has to be able to accumulate and collate enough information to get ahead of what might be coming. You know, we're making some very powerful strides, you know, not only in, you know, intelligently stratifying our population to kind of know who to intervene with first, but also in quantifying rising risk and rising cost. Who do we think based on what we're seeing happen now? What do we think's going to happen to them tomorrow? And can we get ahead of that in time to affect that? Can we keep them out of the hospital? Do we know there's a costly intervention or fall coming, and can we intervene or get them some community based services in time? So, you know it's a large part of what we do and and again something that at least on the value side we have to contemplate every day.Do...
