In a Microsoft Word document, the section headings also tell Word how to lay out the Word document file.
Do you mean that section headings aren't a file layout? That's their entire purpose. Edit: If you're talking about the byte representation only, I don't think section headings indicate the placement of the body's bytes.
Hi everyone, I'm the plaintiff in this lawsuit. I'm still working on my companion post for tptacek's post! I'll have it ready Soon TM, but feel free to me any questions in the meantime here.

I think you have an unrealistically high bar for who is suitable to be an expert witness. People who are not even remotely experts are often trotted up as "expert witnesses". OP is very easily an expert in his field; the only issue is that his communication style is not quite tuned properly for legal matters. Which shouldn't be surprising; that's the case for pretty much anyone who isn't in the legal profession, doin…
The only problem seemed to be that he was unable to rule anything out, no matter how unlikely, because he is honest and an expert. He lacked the dishonesty and false confidence that we demand from an expert witness within an adversarial justice system.

It's might actually be easier to win the economics battle by chipping away at restrictions on taller buildings. The builders in my area are copy/pasting a 3-flat design all over the place but it requires bargain-basement land prices (literally building on former toxic waste dumps) or money from the township because 3-flats make you have to build wide.
The muni I live in is very constrained (we're just 4 square miles, right on the border of the west side of Chicago) and our land is overwhelmingly SFZ, so most of the ballgame is getting SFZ lots opened up. The emerging consensus is towards "missing middle" housing, which is 2-40 units (but really, a medium term sweet spot in the teens), where you're talking about buildings spanning multiple lots. That very little ca…

Welcome to Seattle :-)
A database schema is just an empty form. By looking at an empty form, you know what fields have be filled in, what type of information they'll contain, etc.
Of course people making data requests need to know what forms are being used to collect and store information.
As for security - not letting people do anything because 'it might be dangerous' is bonkers. The way to secure databases has been known for decades. Let's start living in the 21st century :)

Have you tried looking for information from the developer about CANVAS? With any luck the developer has support documentation online that describes CANVAS and maybe you'll be able to narrow down your FOIA request.
Wowzers, that was a lot of words to express something that's very simple. A database schema is just an empty form.
