* Entity (person or organisation)
* Interaction (shareholder-in, partner-with, contract-with,
employee-of, colleague-with, friend-of etc.)
o This should include some sort of basis: link or document.
* Entity (person or organisation)
So we would end up with a interactions graph dataset. This could initially
be a google spread sheet or a simple db or wiki until it gets large enough
to warrant a NoSQL graph db.

Dear All
I am following the discussion with keen interest. Would there be a way to
start small - I am thinking given the health reform taking place in SA - a
3d picture of who is connected to which medical scheme would be a great
start!
Let me know if you are keen. I am sure I can find some cash monies to help
do it.

Charles, I agree, this would be very interesting. I've also thought of doing
something with the tender database.
But I think Adi is right: there's a lot of money to be made with that data,
and a lot of incentive for people to keep it hidden. The journos would love
it, the business owners less so, so there'd be some friction for sure.

For me, the biggest hit we can make in open data in SA is the companies

long way to go. But I dream of being able to show a dynamic D3
<http://d3js.org/> graph connecting all our politicians to their family
members and the companies in which they are involved.
What are the chances of getting a nice REST service running at the CIPC

field day.

I feel your pain. Funnily enough, I just bought a laptop which came
with Windows 8. I battled for about an hour trying to figure it out
and gave up in disgust. However, you're right, Linux is somewhat
difficult for non-techies. Having said that, my sexagenarian motherin
in law has been using Ubuntu for about a year now. She doesn't even
know that she's using it. I'm not trying to sell Linux on the desktop.
For most people used to Windows, it is a difficult switch. I find
MacOS difficult too, but it's mostly because it is a new interface.
Linux though is not the only open source system around. There is lot's
of software that is opensource which runs on Windows.
More importantly, bespoke software should be written as open source -
there is no reason why software which is built specifically for a
government department should be kept closed. Once built, it should be
shareable with other departments with no fee (except for installation
and support).
One last thing - I didn't mention why I thought that the open data
groups were a good avenue for this initiative. Open data by itself is
a technical area which doesn't interest most people. If we pair open
data with open government or active citizenry, we have a much more
powerful tool to change society. This project is an example of how
that can happen. Collecting data from government departments is the
first piece of the puzzle.
