Have you recently lost your job? Why not find 'the place you were destined to live' and find more than just a job, but a city that meets all your personal psychological needs?! This presentation talks about an 'App' that we built in 72 hours called #OkCapital at the #GovHack in Canberra. We are proud to announce that it won 'Best use of Spatial Data' prize. The app essentially acts as a kind of 'dating app' that matches Australian cities to a set of psychological criteria that the individual fills in which is matched to open government data about each city. For more details about the App please see: http://code.google.com/p/okcapital/

1. OkCapital
...the city you were destined to live in...

2. The problem?!
"Oh Shit!
I've just lost
my job!"

3. The problem?!
... nevermind, you
weren't meant for
that job...

4. The problem?!
"WHAT am I
going to do
now?!"

5. ... it's not "what"
The problem?! to
you are meant
do, it is "WHERE
you are destined to
live."!

6. ... your destiny awaits at OkCapital...
OkCapital
Ok!

10. And then we thought, what if...
The problem with a standard 'Quality of Life'
profile is that we all have our own personal
psychological criteria for what kind of city we
would prefer.
=> So what if we could have 'a dating website'
for picking a city that matches our own personal
psychology?

13. How it was made?
1.) Match gov't
datasets per
major city to
Maslow's
hierarchy profile.

14. How it was made?
2. Normalised data
as linkeddata API
(because all Gov
data worldwide
could be plugged
into this App)
http://code.google.
com/p/okcapital/wiki/
MaslowAPI

15. How it was made?
3.) Build Maslow Algorithm to weight 'my'
profile to that of the city data profile.

16. How it was made?
4.) Build
Javascript Geo
interface to show
66k data-points
into a single map
+ pyramid
interface.

17. How it was made?
5.) Release it
all as
OpenSource
and encourage
more
OpenData to
make the world
a better place.

18. OkCapital Value to the Aus Citizen
● Losing your job is one of the most
psychologically difficult times in a person's life!
● Worst of all you can't afford a psychologist to
help you through it :-(
● OkCapital walks you through the psychological
motivators you NEED to consider when moving
on in life (the things you forget when in a state
of crisis, like job loss).
● OkCapital starts to demonstrate a 'Quality of
Life' - beyond life as 'a product of fiscal-capital'.

19. OkCapital Value to Aus Government
● Government MUST invest in the coming
economic job crisis!
● Local governments want to encourage people
to move to their city!
● This App demonstrates the value of having
Australian cities sharing their data in standard
formats with standard tools...
● OkCapital demonstrates the new value that
can be generated from OPEN DATA! <-- we
are just a two day, hack.. imagine what we
could do if a small start-up with this data
worldwide!

20. Take home message
Senior Managers, Politicians and People who
care, check out our recommendations! We
could do so much more if you would just
commit to sharing your data using common
data formats and data tools!
