Since HTML5’s uptake in mainstream browsers, there’s been a lot of talk about the next version of the web, web 3.0 (even though Tim Berners-Lee dislikes that term). The “next version” of the web, web 3.0, is also called the “Semantic Web” by many of the leading engineers working on HTML5 and other web standards. The driving idea behind the semantic web is that computers, not humans, will be reading, interpreting, and digesting … [Read more...]

Cloud Computing vs. SOA: Look for a cross-over in hype
July 29, 2009 By BobGourley
Cloud Computing is one of the many things enterprise CIOs, CTOs and other engineers will master in delivering capability. I believe in the power of new Cloud Computing technologies and concepts and think we should all continue our focus there. I have said, and still say, the same thing about design approaches like Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The constructs, methods and models of SOA are good practices that result in good designs for … [Read more...]

DoDIIS Worldwide Conference 17-21 May 2009
May 7, 2009 By BobGourley
The DoDIIS Worldwide Conference will be held in Orlando Florida this year, at the Orlando World Center Marriott. I really like this conference. It is filled with folks I like and centers around a hard enterprise mission that cries out for strong IT solutions. The theme of this years conference is "Empowering Decision Advantage." The plenary speakers this year are GREAT! (as usual). They include Grant Schneider, CIO for DIA, LTG Ron Burgess, … [Read more...]

Vivek Kundra: Still the Alpha CTO and now the First Fed CIO
March 5, 2009 By BobGourley
Today's news on Vivek Kundra's role in the federal space made me think of another CTO, Yuvi Kochar. Yuvi, the CTO of the Washington Post, is a great connector of CTOs who leads the informal collective of the Washington Area CTO Roundtable. Although I had heard Vivek speak a time or two, the first really deep interactions I had with Vivek were through Yuvi's work in service to the tech community and I much appreciate that. For a quick update on … [Read more...]

Federal Government Technology Directions and the Fed CTO
January 19, 2009 By BobGourley
Technologists in and out of government have been very excited about the work of the Obama transition team, especially the work of their technologists. A group known as the TIGR (Technology, Innovation and Government Reform) Team has brought some of the best and brightest minds together to strategize and impact the action plans of the federal government. We have now been treated to an insider's view into the workings of this team. The Change.gov … [Read more...]

A look ahead: Some technology developments to expect in 2009
January 1, 2009 By BobGourley
2008 was a year of rapid changes for Chief Technology Officers. We should expect 2009 to move even faster. Where will the biggest trends take us? I offer some considerations below. Please look these over and give me your thoughts. Push back if you have disagreement. First, my overall advice for CTOs in 2009... Just like the new thin interfaces you will be testing in your lab... be flexible. Now here are some more thoughts on what's in store … [Read more...]

Vivek Kundra: Democratizing Data and Putting it in the Public Domain
November 20, 2008 By BobGourley
I'm hoping most enterprise CTOs have had a chance to learn more about Vivek Kundra's Apps for Democracy initiative. I'm really impressed by this activity for many reasons, but primarily because it got results of use to the citizens and visitors of DC. This initiative proved yet again that Vivek Kundra is a CTO who gets things done. From his bio: Vivek Kundra was appointed by Mayor Adrian M. Fenty on March 27, 2007 to the Cabinet post of Chief … [Read more...]

Is Your CTO Making You Stupid?
September 17, 2008 By BobGourley
Nicholas Carr writes in ways that makes people think. I really enjoyed reading his latest in the Atlantic titled "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" This article covers some rather significant trends that IT is pushing into the global social fabric. The changes he talks about are disturbing. They are infecting people like a fast spreading disease. There is a chance you are suffering some of these symptoms yourself, so by all means read the … [Read more...]

Collaborate and Deliver With More Cowbell
September 11, 2008 By BobGourley
Participants in this week's Enterprise 2.0 conference, hosted by the ODNI's ICES group and the CIA's WIRe team, were treated to a shared experience that is hard to capture in a blog post. So I won't try. But I will say this, we all had some great collaboration and coordination lessons and context, and we were able to participate in creating that ourselves because the conference organizers established a great ambiance and gave us access to wiki's, … [Read more...]

The National Security Implications of Free 3D in a Browser
August 7, 2008 By BobGourley
Jeffrey Carr sent a short broadcast via Twitter the other day: " New post on 3D imaging and Virtual Earth - mind blowing video http://bit.ly/3SxtdA " Jeffrey was blogging about a capability shown in the short clip below: As you watch that, keep in mind that what you are seeing is a capability that can run on any PC that can run Internet Explorer (which is just about all of them). The clip shows a capability that Microsoft's Caligari toolset … [Read more...]
