what is is and what are its implications
Declarative Living
An introduction
What is Declarative Living, anyway?
Declarative Living is about publishing preferences to the web cloud, in the form of metadata that can be aggregated to create models of interest.
Services like flickr, audioscrobbler, and allconsuming are good examples of the trend towards web users making their preferences and interests public. I declare an interest in Radiohead, say.
Declarative Living as a term is also loosely based on some concepts from declarative programming. The idea is that by stating a set of preferences, or policies, software can meet a desired state. I want the system to behave like this.
Why not extend this to our more general needs and requirements. What is a set of requirements but a request for proposal?
The attention trust is being established as part of this new world of declarative living.
It says - this is what I am interested in, and if you want to play nice with the data then you can use the data.
Transparency and declarative living: in the enterprise space, Palamida and GroundWorks made an announcement around IP Ingredients- the notion like cereal, or other foods and drugs, a list of ingredients will be included. If you know what in it, you can make a more informed choice.
