Raised in Vancouver and Toronto, Severn
Cullis-Suzuki has been camping and hiking all
her life. When she was 9 she started the
Environmental Children's Organization (ECO),
a small group of children committed to
learning and teaching other kids about
environmental issues. They were successful in
many projects before 1992, when they raised
enough money to go to the UN's Earth Summit
in Rio de Janeiro. Their aim was to remind
the decision-makers of who their actions or
inactions would ultimately affect. The goal
was reached when 12 yr old Severn closed a
Plenary Session with a powerful speech that
received a standing ovation.

ABSTRACT
Faculty Summit 2008 - Day 1
Google Data - Mark Stahl & Jeff Fisher
This presentation will give an overview of
the Atom Publishing Protocol, a simple but
powerful way of publishing and interacting
with data stored on the web. The Atom
Publishing Protocol is used as the basis of
the Google Data APIs, which provide
programmatic access to several Google
applications. We will demonstrate a simple
example that uses a web application to
crowdsource the semantic labeling of image
content. Data is both retrieved and published
via Data APIs. We will also show how to
publish the results of this example as an
AtomPub API, and discuss ways you can use
AtomPub as the mechanism for sharing your own
data.
