Folks
I don’t know how many of you got to hear/see this..

But today’s presentation by Ken and Steven was
excellent – even if you weren’t in Higher Ed. Take a look at the
slides. The discussion on attributes starts about half way through.
Both presenters are well known and well regarded for their
interest in attributes.
Two things really struck me:
1)
The notion of developing attribute Categories, which
plays fair and square into our Attribute Management scope. Leif is heavily
involved in that so I have cc’d him here..
2)
The Monetization of attributes, which, as the
presenters pointed out, will need at the very least ‘management’
but maybe more along the lines of regulation, depending on how things develop
on that front.
Cheers
