So making is very important, but also thinking about what we make. As stated earier,\u00a0IoTA is an experiment and an opportunity for experts, non-experts, curators, challenger seekers, people, and more people to experiment with the technology and data in inventive, playful and ingenious ways. Data, however big and plentiful, that does not necessarily lead to better or more rational decisions. Through IoTA we are not interested so much in how data is made public, but more about how the public make data, build their own hypothesis and make their own decisions.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to thank Nominet Trust for their invaluable support in helping us take this work forward. We would also like to thank <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forumforthefuture.org\/siteusers\/hugh-knowles\" target=\"_blank\">Hugh Knowles<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forumforthefuture.org\/siteusers\/louise-armstrong\" target=\"_blank\">Louise Armstrong<\/a> from the Forum for the Future, who are key partners in this project. And finally we&#8217;d like to thank\u00a0Esther\u00a0Maughan\u00a0Mclachlan,\u00a0Emily Nicoll and Chris Clifton who initiated the Futurescapes project at Sony, which led to the IoTA concept.
