  1. …“If the #Trump Justice Department takes the position that the #OLC opinion applies retroactively, we might see #NARA being forced to declare that records of past administrations covered by the PRA should always have been considered ‘personal’ in nature, & that courts are without jurisdiction to entertain lawsuits…for access to those records,” said Jason R. Baron, fmr litigation director for the Archives.

  6. #Trump has stacked the #DOJ & the #Pentagon with personal #loyalists, & has tended to bypass the Office of Legal Counsel [#OLC] — the institution traditionally responsible for vetting the legality of executive actions. Although the standard guidelines & procedures for past #domestic deployments remain on the books, there is substantial reason to doubt that the civilian leadership will follow them.

  7. National Library Workers Day

    A happy National Library Workers Day to all who celebrate! That should be ALL of us, by the way. From the American Library Association website: "The ALA Allied Professionals Association (ALA-APA) invites library advocates, patrons, and staff to show their support of our nation’s library workers by posting words of encouragement and appreciation for their local library stars at http://bit.ly/librarystar. Academic, public, special, school library patrons can “Submit a Star” by […]

  8. An eye-crosser for us non-lawyers but a foothold on understanding the particulars of our predicament.

    As usual since it was invented, the Office of Legal Counsel serves here as a de facto court of judicial truncation. Being part of the DoJ, the #OLC is especially poisonous now. Predictable, of course.

  9. I like Open Location Coordinates AKA as these are a compact, readable easily sharable open way to identify global coordinates.

    There's 2 renderings though, a full one and a version that's abbreviated but needs a locality name.

    The long one is great, the other one is useless because an app would need a massive db of placenames.

    Guess which version gives access to...

  10. Today I am wishing again for to support location-aware communities. I'd like to see posts on maps. I'd like to talk to people in my community and neighboring areas, and follow specific locations with , (without having to manually expand the quad tree for large regions!)

    Is there any software on the doing this?

    The numerous geocoding systems vary in #granularity (#precision) achieved with a certain amount of letters, & in their audience or #community.

    Above, I gave the example of #Maidenhead Locators (#QTH) commonly used by #HamRadio people.

    Different cultures use different #geocode|s for reasons.

    AFAIC, it would allianate communities to single out a particular system & mark it as ›general‹ by using a prefix like ›#GEO‹.

    Platforms should #welcome & represent a variety of cultures.

    I take it for granted that users must be able to decide upon the precision of the #geocoding they use for their postings.

    And that they must also be able to decide upon the geogaphic range of search when they lookup #georef|erenced postings.

    The location property of the #ActivityVocabulary does not only support exact locations but also areas in the sense that it allows for ›logical locations‹.

    A logical location could be ›near Berlin«, but also a #geocode with reduced precision.
