Situations in which organisations call me
Three situations in which a government organisation calls Stef Joosten: spreadsheets nobody oversees any more, legal changes processed by hand, and the wish for a register that guards its own rules.
Organisations call me from a situation they recognise themselves. Each situation below has its own page with what I do in it.
- Nobody oversees our spreadsheets any moreThen I turn those spreadsheets into one register system, which keeps the data and guards the rules about it.
- We process every change in the law by handThen the rules from the law live in the register system itself, and the system shows which data no longer comply.
- We want a register that guards its own rulesI build such a register in Ampersand, an open language in which a rule about data has exactly one meaning.
