About Steve Holcombe

Currently, Holcombe is catalyzing the Whole Chain Traceability Consortium™ (@WholeChainTrace) - a growing collaboration between researchers and collaborators at Oklahoma State University, Michigan State University, North Dakota State University, the University of Arkansas, and Pardalis, Inc. – for uniquely blending the application of the CPA system with food safety, sustainability, engineering, social, economic, supply chain management, open source licensing, consumer accessibility and marketing sciences.

The goal of @WholeChainTrace is epitomized by a vision of consumers able to point a smartphone at a food product's bar code, and retrieve a global sourcing map and reliable information about the product. @WholeChainTrace is unique in that it represents the marketplace branding of the "sharing is winning" efforts of the researchers and collaborators. Whole Chain Traceability Consortium™ and @WholeChainTrace™ are trademarks of Pardalis, Inc.

Holcombe is the manager for the 950+ members of the Data Ownership in the Cloud networking group on LinkedIn.

Holcombe is also the manager for the recently formed @WholeChainCom™ networking group on LinkedIn.

About this Blog

Global trade in agricultural and food products is a series of discrete transactions between buyers and sellers. It is generally difficult – if not impossible – to determine a clear picture of the entire life cycle of such products. As Tim Berners-Lee has says "The Web was originally conceived as a tool for researchers who trusted one another implicitly .... We have been living with the consequences ever since ...." To introduce greater trust and provenance to networked interactions in complex supply chains, Holcombe envisioned and co-invented the globally patented Common Point Authoring™ (CPA) system.

Pardalis' mission is to promote the granular sharing of confidential, trustworthy and traceable data along complex supply chains, and within the emerging data web, by empowering information owners and producers with innovative Common Point AuthoringTM methods.

More specifically, the challenge is not one of fixing the latest privacy control issue that Facebook presents to us. Nor is the challenge fixed with an application programming interface for integrating Salesforce.com with Facebook. The challenge is in providing the software, tools and functionalities for the discovery in real-time of proprietary supply chain data that can save people's lives and, concurrently, in attracting the input of exponentially more valuable information by consumers about their personal experiences with products of all kinds.
