Today we're introducing Google Fusion Tables on Labs, an experimental system for data management in the cloud. It draws on the expertise of folks within Google Research who have been studying collaboration, data integration, and user requirements from a variety of domains. Fusion Tables is not a traditional database system focusing on complicated SQL queries and transaction processing. Instead, the focus is on fusing data management and collaboration: merging multiple data sources, discussion of the data, querying, visualization, and Web publishing. We plan to iteratively add new features to the systems as we get feedback from users.

Michael, It's interesting that I had already Diigo bookmarked Google Fusion Labs on 26th August. This illustrates something I was observing with Steve the other day; that social bookmarking seems to be 'one-way'. In other words we all stuff things into Diigo, but why? Other than transitory email alerts to new bookmarks, I have no feel for emerging themes, or common bookmarks via Diigo. This is something the Knowledge Hub will no doubt surface in activity streams and emerging themes (I hope!)

at the 2nd meeting of the Knowledge Hub advisory group, we asked people to map how they would use the Knowledge Hub (imagining that it's everything they wanted it to be) to satisfy their knowledge and information needs around a popular, complex LAA target. (In one case, NI 111 - first time entrants to the youth justice system and NI 39 hospital admissions due to alcohol related harm).

The Civica group is a market leader in specialist systems and outsourcing services that help organisations to improve service delivery and efficiency. Everything we do is focused on the local outcomes our customers need to achieve.

I know Charles Armstrong - a great guy (he has spoken about social networks at a KIN event). Trampoline's Sonar SNA tool looks excellent

Open and linked data in action. Nottingham Insight, previously known as NOMAD+, is a shared evidence base that provides access to data, information and intelligence about Nottingham and the surrounding area. This partnership system aims to improve decision-making, support partnership working and better prepare us for the future.

Data.gov Next Generation also makes it easier for government agencies to share their public data. Agencies can now upload their data to the FISMA-compliant Data.gov cloud platform, link it in real-time to systems of record, or even federate data from their own sites. Data.gov brings it all together into one virtualized government-wide catalog.

Unvarnished is an online resource for building, managing, and researching professional reputation, using community-contributed, professional reviews...not sure if this is the type of thing we're looking for but could be useful when considering achievements and systems cred stuff?
