    @Tom Henderson CReDo raised fewer issues here than future work might, due to data being hosted on a central server, and thus there being an absolute limit on what data is accessible within the project in addition to the security framework around DAFNI. Future phases act work as an exemplar for managing the additional security issues around live querying of databases, building on the platform work by the Information Management Framework team.

    Here is the blog piece which I trailed earlier – and you get “artificial intelligence” as a bonus!

    I hope to join the workshop, and indeed am just writing a blog post on the definitions of AI and DT.

    My view is generally that trying to define what is and is not a DT is not a helpful pursuit, at least not in the kind of work I do, as it’s irrelevant in most practical questions. The relevant question is what the appropriate decision support analysis should be, not what we call it. The caveat on this is that I mostly work in planning and policy rather than detailed engineering design or system operation – except for specialist interest in power system control room algorithms.

    When the post goes up (need to finish editing it) I’ll flag in this DT hub conversation.
