In the same way that Web browsers opened the Internet to everyone, the appropriate tools could give everyone the ability to understand, and contribute to, the government process.
These tools are outlined here. The first target for this toolset will be the US Federal Budget.

Technology Overview


The information that defines our society has reached an unmanageable level of complexity.  Imagine searching today’s Internet with tools from the 1970’s: a professional could do it but anyone else would be lost. In the same way that Web browsers opened the Internet to everyone, the appropriate tools could give everyone the ability to understand, and contribute to, the government process.



These tools are outlined here. The first target for this toolset will be the US Federal Budget. 


 


Data


The data we need exists in the public domain: The federal budget; lists of relevant committees and committee members; information about lobbyists and donations. To use this data we will import it out of its current, bulky, formats; break it into discrete pieces or “fragments”; and store these in our database. These information fragments provide the starting point and a framework for community-generated content, which can then be u

Tracking changes -- branches and merges -- is a form of watching a document over time, but different. Here is the Perforcerevisiongraph flash movie, on that particular topic.
Of course, we should look at existing budget/legislation systems if we can, such as (via Kevin Jones):
Reports, screens, etc. from companies like TexasLegislativeServices, which provides legislative monitoring in Austin and at least eight other states, would be key. These services exist on the state and the national level.
Sitting with a client who uses that software from those services would be instructive.

I want to stress that this exploration is not looking for open source tools we can use; it is looking at anything that can provide an interesting example of a capability.
FreeBase. I I note another database, with a different design: Lucid Lucid
Being able to associate two fragments can look a lot like HTML, and traversing links can look a lot like browsing the web. I'm thinking we don't want to follow that path. The association interface will be explored more under other Use Cases (TBD). However, here are a few notes for now (to be moved, most likely, later):
VisualThesaurus and ThinkMap - Entries with named links (the association), if I recall correctly.
The prime example of association graphs that will be familiar to programmers is the FiniteStateGraph (or your UML graph of choice)
