'''RESOLUTION NO. R-19-2006'''<br>
<br />
''Approval of Resolution in Support of the Mayors for Peace 2020 Vision Campaign and the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Resolution Calling for the Elimination of Nuclear Weapons by the Year 2020''


''(Note: Only the 1st resolution is shown below.)''
The panopticon is an institutional design whereby authorities can watch any subject with a minimum of effort. A reverse panopticon makes it possible to better track the actions of those in positions of authority.


''CALLING ON ALL NATIONS AND ALL WORLD POWERS TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF ANY WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION AGAINST CITIES AND OTHER CIVILIAN TARGETS AND ENCOURAGING THEM TO EMBRACE THE CONCEPT OF PEACE''
David Mason will discuss a system designed to collect semantic content and link it to documents as they're browsed. For example, it can determine connections between people mentioned on a current page - those involved in politics, big business or crime. Content can be collected and annotated through automated crawling or by a user browsing their topic of interest. An investigative journalist can easily edit and annotate semantic links of people and their association as they follow a line of inquiry. General questions can be asked from the repository of all the links they visited, such as 'politician' and 'Saguenay'. The tool's flexible design and open source nature could allow anyone to participate in creating annotators and add meaning, connections to content. The system can support individual or federated instances.
