On Friday Beth Noveck, who is Obama’s Deputy Chief Technology Officer for Open Government, posted this piece http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Open-Government-Brainstorm-Collaboration-in-Action/ on the White House blog.— It features Debategraph, a web-based issue mapping tool, which is co-created by David Price, who is a founder of the Global Sensemaking group and who has taken our Issue Mapping course.— Watch for developments over the coming months that further integrate Compendium, Debategraph, Sharepoint, and other tools.
Debategraph is a visual policy mapping tool that is being used for running citizen engagement on climate change in Europe.— Debategraph translated— our— <http://www.whitehouse.gov/assets/images/opengov_transparency_shortform.jpeg>mindmap of the redacted transparency proposals into the interactive Debategraph. In this format, the different proposals are rateable, addressable, and open to collaborative editing.— People can also add supporting and opposing arguments to the proposals.— “The aim with visual policy maps of this kind is to collaboratively weave together all of the salient proposals and arguments dispersed through the community into a single rich, transparent structure in which each idea and argument is expressed just once so that anyone can explore quickly and gain a good sense of the perceived merits of the relevant choices,”— says David Price, Debategraph’s co-founder.
