When the Data hits the Fan!

During my keynote at the DCDC2015 Conference I challenged the audience to consider whether the value that exists in a digital resource reflected the analogy of: is the value in the wine, the glass or the drinking? It is obvious all three are needed (and you could add other features), but maybe to a greater or lesser degree. If Wine = Content, the Glass = Infrastructure and the Drinking = Access then which one has precedence? So we voted via Twitter and the results are in.

as17-148-chart: Apollo 17 Hasselblad image from film magazine 148/NN - Earth, LM Inspection, Orbital The recent release to Flickr of all of the roughly 11,000 images taken on the NASA Apollo moon missions is the re-presentation of the public domain NASA-provided Apollo mission imagery as it was originally provided in its raw, high-resolution and unprocessed form. One of the nice things to see from an imaging point of view are the early colour and photographic calibration charts.
