Civic Technology Regulatory Compliance
Civism is itself a technology, to be more precise it is the ultimate civilizing process social technology since ancient times.
Civics is civism’s diplomatic technology to establish the rule of law (RoL) under civic studies, civic culture, and civic virtues.
Civic education is civics’s educational technology (EdTech) to establish civic engagement between citizens, grassroots civil movements, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), governments, international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs), and inter-governmental organizations (IGO).
Civic technology (CivicTech) being under the civic responsibility to help in the standardization of civic education, civics, and civism; makes it inherently dependent to the establishment of proper open internet digital public infrastructure (DPI) public international law (PIL) regulatory compliance and their due legal technologies (LegalTechs) and regulatory technologies (RegTechs).
Civic data being a currency of data economy, so requiring civic technologies (CivicTechs) fair trade, regulatory economics, and markets surveillance, depend on its interoperability which must be standardized under semantic web (SW) semantic interoperability interontological alignment controlled vocabularies ontology engineering. The Open Source Semantic Web Ontology (OSSWO) may be of assistance in this development secure operations (DevSecOps).
Civic statistics required for proper open governance and open government metrology governmental technologies (GovTechs) may also profit from how semantic web ontology can assist in the regulatory compliance of algorithms, their supervised machine learning (ML), and unsupervised artificial intelligence (AI) dependency analysis.
Civic Technology Community Group (CTCG) is, because all of that, another imprescindible World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) open science research group. It is an honor to co-chair it. Please join us to develop free libre open source solutions (FLOSS) for e-democracy, linked open vocabularies (LOVs), and public applications (PubApps).
